You seem to be missing the demon bowler Ryan Hinds

That must've been one hell of a spinner's quicker ball to send off-stump cartwheeling like that.

Yeah, and it's weird the 'keeper isn't stood up....

Thanks! That makes it a whopping 19!

Pitch starting to show signs of playing up. England want a lead fairly soon, I'd think.

 

[TopCat]

Streaky inside edge boundary for Bell.

Not far from the stumps that one.

 

[Jacknife]

Yes, there was a few yesterday, that went under bats and bounced low etc, defo a lot more today.

Isn't it the ball Jerome Taylor bowled him with in 2009? Awesome delivery that was.

Was that the one he initially left and realised at the last moment - too late - that it was heading straight for off stump, and ended up in some ridiculous pose, all tangled up as the stumps went flying? Hilarious footage, that. Might be that one based on that photo.

Did the same vs. Hilf at this very ground, IIRC.

It all looks worse for him because he's so bloody tall.

 

[Spark]

Haha that's a woeful attempt at a dive.

EDIT: Now a drop. Hmm...

 

[Neil Pickup]

It really wasn't that long ago that Sri Lanka were a good fielding side, was it?

 

[Howe_zat]

Has Dilshan forgotten he has other bowlers?

Not been a very impressive captaincy debut for him.

Deep point - why?!

 

[Athlai]

Malinga being wrapped in cotton wool and made only to bowl 4 overs a day would still see this Sri Lankan attack vastly improved.

Here you go, about 3 and a half minutes into this clip. Played down the wrong line, awesome delivery though.

Should just use him the same way England used Simon Jones.

This method would also improve the fielding.

 

[Spark]

Ah OK not that one then. Think Edwards bowled the delivery I'm thinking about.

Dropped at least 4 sitters off Morgan alone in the WC QF against England.
