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

[four_or_six]

Could be a great opportunity for Morgan here. It's not too worrying atm, but another wicket would be a problem.

KP place under threat?

nah just checked average 60 at the Ashes.Silly me.

 

[wpdavid]

Just when you thought things couldn't get much worse, Blofeld's on TMS

 

[Jarquis]

Jesus.

Mind boggles with KP, watched his 'Special Report' on SSN and he spoke of how he loves playing cricket and wants to do it for as long as he possibly can. Well show it then ffs.

 

[Spark]

Have England forgotten how to bat? Play straight!

EDIT: Although Strauss does seem to have a serious problem with left arm bowlers now. Zaheer to have another bunny?

It's a fair question. Probably not just yet, but much more of this and he's a gonner imo.

 

[hang on]

khan's going to have strauss for breakfast.

 

[Teja.]

Might be a good idea to play straight at the start of your innings when your captain thinks there's some movement out there. Not that I'd want to be too harsh on Trott all things considered. Strauss is another matter though - that looked like a poor shot to me. And KP just looks totally buggered afaics. Once upon a time he'd have seen off the crisis and rescued the innings: not nowadays though. Perhaps a career in 'Hello' magazine beckons.

England guilty atm of the very attitude that led to Lanka's collapse on the 5th day.

Probably will still score 400+ though.

Lakmal is getting late swing and KP wants to feel ball on bat. The dismissal was excusable, I feel.

Bell's had some luck with the edges this series.

 

[Manee]

Lakmal actually looking half decent, atm.

Played with soft hands for the most part tbf, not all luck. Not been dropped yet.

 

[Howe_zat]

Rally!

I know cherry-picking innings isn't always fair, but if you ignore the 200 at Adelaide, KP has averaged 25 over 12 matches since the beginning of last summer. Considering his ODI form has been even more woeful, he's surely on thin ice.

 

[hang on]

so cook's stats are now officially better than kp's. better average. better 100s per innings ratio.

England in trouble, and a man that knows all about that

I really hope Cook is the one who ends up with the better record. I reckon he will do.

Monty Panesar will play for England before KP is dropped
