First tour match.
Sri Lanka XI all out 229. Steve O'Keefe took 5/43 from 12.2 overs.
Aussies 1/127. Shaun Marsh 47, Joe Burns 64 n.o., Usman Khawaja 11 n.o.
Nathan Lyon went wicketless from his 13 overs. Interesting, when you look at O'Keefe's figures.

Steve O'Keefe is certainly making a case for inclusion in the first Test, after his 5fa in SL's first innings.
He's 62 n.o. in the Aussies' 9/431.
Mitch Marsh and Peter Nevill both scored 25 and Mitchell Starc, 45.

Aussies all out 474. O'Keefe 78*
------------------
Would you believe SL all out for 83.
O'Keefe took 5/23, giving him 10/64 for the match.

Just saw it on cricket info (post fact).
10 wickets - he has to be called up as well as his 78 not out. Exciting.

Will depend on the wicket. 2 spinners looks the go.
Australia will have Starc and Hazlewood with Mitch Marsh as first change.

He's been around for more than 10 years but selectors chose to dabble with the likes of Xavier Doherty (ODIs), Bryce McGain (1 disasterous Test), Nathan Lyon, Ashton Agar, Michael Beer, Nathan Hauritz etc. even though O'Keefe had better first class figures, and has always been a capable batsman (averages over 30, with a 99 and 9 fifties).
His fc bowling average, of just under 24, should've demanded he be given a go, much earlier.

That is a great bowling average.
