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

[vcs]

Cook's scores starting from the Oval knock against Pakistan - 110, 10, 67, 235*, 148, 32, 13, 82, 189, 133, 96. That's 1115 runs at 111.5. Not bad.

 

[Howe_zat]

Can't knock over 1000 runs in six months.

Carn Prior. Need to push this past 300.

Well well Sri Lanka are getting lucky. Crap bowling and they're on top.

I'd have thought they would have used up their allocation of luck in their first innings at Cardiff. Scores of play & miss, catches dropping just short or in free space must have used up a huge amount of luck.

Why is Dilshan still bowling? Keep up ffs.

EDIT: And why are there two men deep on the onside to a guy that hasn't faced!

EDIT2: Although Morgan doesn't mind.

 

[TopCat]

Smashing shot!

 

[vcs]

Haha Morgan is so good.

If SL get them out under 300 then i could see Englannd facing a 200 run deficit on this track provided Sanga and Mhela get in.

How can the Lords crowd be so quiet after such a great shot?

 

[Spark]

Haha Morgan is so good.

His talent vs. spin is a huge plus for him in a lineup which isn't known for its brilliance against it.

 

[Howe_zat]

That's a beautiful wristy dab from Morgan. Just as good a shot as the straight six.

Yeah, no Anderson, and you'd think Sanga is due a big one in England as well.

 

[Spark]

Good 50. Controlled aggression.

 

[hazsa19]

Well played. 50's not enough though.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Sri Lanka have done ok but with plenty of batting still left i can see England getting 400 and after being put in that'll do. Just hope when we bowl we don't get obsessed with the short stuff after it working well in 2nd innings at Cardiff.

 

[TopCat]

Shot Mr Prior!

 

[hazsa19]

Too many shots from Prior.

 

[TopCat]

If you bowl it shot to Morgan, he will do that all day long.

If you get a bit too full he will skip down and smack it straight for 6.

Good batting.

 

[Spark]

Doesn't play half-shots, does Prior?

 

[Howe_zat]

Doesn't play half-shots, does Prior?

Reminds me of Watson in that sense.

 

[hazsa19]

Anyone else think that sometimes players like Bell and Prior just have too many shots?
