Khawaja out for 232, and Smith out for 141.

But along comes Inglis, who scores a century on debut...out for 102 now.

Australia 570-5

I am here looking for the thread that urges the ICC to look at a unfit pitch..............

The type of thread (posts) that were out in abundance when Windies played Pakistan just a week ago, and our homies failed miserably with the bat.

I hope that at least Kamindu gets some runs. Horrible to be battered like that at home.

Well, what will SL do now for the next Test? They can't prepare a spin friendly pitch, because they were defeated by the Australian spinners on a batting pitch

SL is a worst team than us …
