Test, LTS #2 (Loop #1), BBQ Stakes #114 (Reverse #27)...

Sunday...walked the boys...then it was to Day 3 of the test...Tammie joined me from the start then Jodie & Lisa arrived at lunch time...

the Sri Lankans were 9 down all out for 215 not long after lunch - Kusal Perara had to retire hurt after ducking into short ball from Richardson and didn't return...Karunaratne returned to bat but didn't last long...Starc finished with 5/54...

Australia batted deep into the final session before declaring at 3/196 - Khawaja fnished with a ton after a lean summer while Head back up his 161 in the first innings with 59*...

at stumps Sri Lanka were 0/17...

Monday walked the boys then it was just me for Day 4 of the test with Australia wrapping up the match and a 2-0 series win before the scheduled tea break...Starc got another 5fa to be Player of the Match...Cummins took 3/15 to finish with 14 wickets for the series and was deservedly Player of the Series...
