I don't see the Sri Lankans doing much better.

Maxwell just wants to score his 100 from a 6.

The gently caress is this commentary? I thought indian commentators were the worst but Taylor, waugh and Fleming are just randomly giggling and chumming around

Regardless of the pitch I don't know why SL left out their best bowler in Lakmal to fit in more poo poo spinners and Thisara loving Perera to bowl rubbish.

Yeah, they do that.

The worst crime of Indian commentators is that they're uncritical apologists of the BCCI but anyway.

Aggressive celebration, a bit of a cry, then aggression again.

Insert gauffy commentary by the 90s bafoons.
