*Official* Quarter Final 4 - Sri Lanka v England

[Jono]

The ball is moving a mile off the seam!

Tremlett making DIlshan looking woeful.

 

[Uppercut]

Wtf, Tremlett nipping his first three deliveries back a mile. Didn't expect that...

 

[Furball]

How on earth can you wide a ball that the batsman's hit?

 

[Spark]

Good start... 8 off 2.

 

[Teja.]

While I'm supporting SL here, would be bloody awesome if the man in my avatar bowls his team to victory today. Not a very good LO bowler but it looks like he has taken to the pitch.

 

[Howe_zat]

Just what I feared really. The total was only 40 past undefendable and they've got that almost without breaking sweat. Sri Lanka are just better than us.

 

[Spark]

Missing Anderson? Movement on offer...

 

[fredfertang]

Not looking good

 

[Furball]

This might be a revolutionary idea, but I think our quicks should bowl somewhere near those wooden things that are behind the batsman.

 

[Jono]

Lol, they are flying.

Openers obviously told to get as many as possible off the new ball.

 

[Furball]

Missing Anderson? Movement on offer...

Not picking him was ****ing ********.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well it was fun while it lasted, well done SL i hope you go on to win it.

 

[Bun]

Haha SL coasting.

 

[Jono]

Wtf Tremlett?

 

[BeeGee]

Wtf Tremlett?

Dive you ****ing moron! Is Tremlett not interested in going to the semis? FFS!

 

[wpdavid]

I maybe wrong here.

Don't like Swann with the new ball, doesn't spin it much, and lacks his normal control. A waste.

Plus he was bowling at guys who don't panic about having to play the slow stuff at the start of their innings. Classic Straussian captaincy by numbers.

And then taken off after one expensive over.

I'm sure he'll love having to bowl the rest of his overs with an old ball in these conditions.

 

[kingpin]

SL are doing it easily!!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well, Dernbach and Rashid can fly back to West Indies for the semi final of the domestic competition over there then.

 

[Migara]

Nah, ball is moving a mile. Any single wicket will bring a clump. It was stupid by Strauss to get Tremlett off. Was bowling beautifully.
