*Official* Quarter Final 4 - Sri Lanka v England

[Stapel]

Maybe Bopara getting out is a blessing in disguise for England? Morgan seems the be the sort of player to get England to a decent total.

Jonathan Trott's crevat not getting enough attention imo. I love him more every day.

Good point - Jardinesque - I approve

Makes you worry about our attack if Malinga is basically the most expensive bowler and easiest to play. Bresnan and Tremlett will need to be spot on or it could be carnage.

 

[JBH001]

Morgan looks like he means business and doesn't want to waste too much time knocking it back to the bowler.

Yeah but scoring at only 55 per 100 balls has meant pressure is on Morgan to get us a score. He was very slow and then threw it away, almost a Jamie How knock.

 

[Uppercut]

I'm pretty sure that boundary was accidental, but Bumble loved it.

Pfft, Paul Tisdale wannabe.

 

[Stapel]

Good point!

And on his 65th ball, he scored his first boundary, albeit accidenta!

I must say: so far a very good and very sensible innings!

 

[Howe_zat]

Tremlett really is the worst sort of bowler for this kind of pitch, there's no bounce in it at all. I fear for him.

 

[Uppercut]

Haha I meant the Morgan one. Was a slower ball and Morgan got through the shot early, but it went in the air to the cover boundary. Bumble says, "not afraid to go over the top".

It's been Top-class, has giving a platform for Morgan and the biffers.

 

[JBH001]

Time to bring Herath or even Dilshan on for Murali. He has bowled poorly today and is getting nothing from the surface.

Ah, that ball!
He seemed tot stop his swing there, halfway. I've tried that myself a few times. All resulted in simple catches....

 

[JBH001]

****

It was Morgan too, and it was a sitter. I can't believe Samaraweera dropped that.

 

[Bringbackbondy]

You just dropped the World Cup.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That drop was awful, not complaining though.

 

[Spark]

Wow, how important could that be?

 

[JBH001]

Samaraweera had better bring some black magic to his batting when Sri Lanka bat.

Edit/ Fine 50 from Trott. He is class.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He has been superb all winter in tests and one dayers. Perfect anchorman and the best number 3 in world at present.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Shocker, wasn't it? Seemed to overrun the ball.

Does look a different game with Morgs at the crease, it must be said.

& 50 for Trotters. Been a very solid knock. Something wonderfully reassuring about his presence.
