*Official* Quarter Final 4 - Sri Lanka v England

[Isura]

Murali might kill someone today

 

[Jarquis]

Yup.

I'm repeating myself, but it really does defy belief it took us so long to get him in the team.

Or the fact we dropped him for a while shortly after we eventually picked him.

 

[JBH001]

Wtf! Another one!

I've never seen Murali that pissed. SL crumbling here.

I can't take much more of this. Sri Lanka way too flat here.

 

[nick-o]

It would be so sad for Murali if this ends up being his last bowl in international cricket, to have his teammates screw it up for him...

 

[Stapel]

Must be said: the last drop was a tough chance.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

This is great.

Perfect time for Nasser's famous (insert England player name here) is a good player of spin.

To be fair to his team mates, Murali was ordinary in his first spell.

 

[ankitj]

Poor from SL. Need to catch the chances the great man is creating. don't want this to be Murali's last game.

 

[JBH001]

Must be said: the last drop was a tough chance.

Yeah, those are usually 50-50 chances. Murali and Sanga both a little harsh to go at Herath, but their reactions were more to do with frustration than that specific dropped chance, I think. Herath just bore the brunt of it.

So... recap those drops for me someone?

 

[Spark]

Well, England very well placed now.

Two sitters dropped by Samaraweera and Matthews off the bowling of Mendis and Murali.

Morgan the lucky man both times.

I wouldn't say that. 250 still absolute maximum from here, though it would be a very good score. Just about par.

 

[JBH001]

Murali should have continued IMO. He looked fired up and that might have brought some of the zip back into his bowling that was missing from his first spell. I think he might go for a few if he bowls his last couple of overs in the final few overs.

Lol @ David Lloyd's "A handful of fresh air!"

 

[Burgey]

Sri Lanka gifting this. Utterly inept fielding display. They've got hands like feet. It's laughable.

 

[Howe_zat]

Powerplay taken.

Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

Coming from Accrington he won't know a lot about that

Unusual too. Up til now they've been good, and down here they were excellent.
