**Official** Sri Lanka in England / Scotland - 2011

[tooextracool]

Bit stumped as to why Broad has the new ball. More of a 1st change bowler, I would have tossed it to Tremlett.

Anderson looks nasty here. Serious movement now.

EDIT: What's up with the pitch? Broad's gotten one or two to shoot up off a length. Weird to see when others are barely carrying through.

EDIT2: This is great to watch. When it's not us on the other end.

Agreed - makes no sense for either bowler.

Anderson bowling beautifully. An absolute joy to watch. If only we had Tremmers bowling at the other end.

He's in, YES.

 

[Bun]

Thanks dear...

 

[Austerlitz]

That was a below par spell from broad.

 

[Jono]

Oh how I love watching Anderson bowl.

 

[Spark]

Awesome ball. Great decision though.

Yeah I thought it was gone first up. Awesome call.

Piranha seems to have borrowed his helmet from Sanga. Good job by SL not to lose an early wicket.

They have prepared well for this tour by playing two warmup games, whereas India will probably do their usual thing and play like crap in the first Test later this summer.

Ick, Broad. Ruining the good work.

Haha agree....

that said big middlefinger to all who was criticising Dilshan for doing practise time in IPL... debunks all this myth...

 

[Spark]

Good going by SL. Excellent application.

 

[Nate]

Good, fighting session that. Will be interesting to see if there's any turn.

Interesting to see how England deal with no real fifth bowling option without Collingwood. I guess Trott/KP will roll the arm over.

****... did I just hear that Cardiff paid 2 mill for this game????

Seems to be a lot of empty seats ATM. Only the first morning obviously, but still.

yeah this guy who is getting interviewed in TMS was sayin revenues are like 200k per day... and said it's apparently "difficult times"...

I'd say it's been moronic budgeting...

As usual ****ed up selction by select suckers. PJ should not even be mentioned in a 6-5 team. Kaushal Silva should have been taking the gloves. Mendis will be "right arm slow" as usual. Shoud have played Randiv over him, and that would have made batting line up indecently strong.
