Haha, Strauss to left arm over is nearly as bad as Pietersen to left arm spinners at times. Even Morne Morkel managed to exploit the flaw by going around the wicket.

I think you're blurring what you want to see as a spectator with what's best for the team.

This Sri Lankan attack is dire and they're 1-0 down. Why would you give them a chance to win a match just by batting?

I think it'll be good to see how we go about this and how intent we are on winning the game. All the very best sides would look to be winning this game from here and not thinking about not allowing the opposition to win, despite being 1-0 up.

I don't necessarily think Strauss and Flower will be too risky, yet I still expect us to be bowling to win the game.

Strauss gone early, and we may not need a declaration for a result in this game! Beauty from Welegedara.

Well bowled, sir. Good late movement. I am beginning to like this Welegedara guy. He was impressive in parts in the first innings too!

Geez, surely you have to get forward to that though.

EDIT: Hmm, interesting field

He bowled really well on debut; he was even a bit quicker than he has been here. I thought Sri Lanka had something and I was surprised when he got dropped. He was absolutely rubbish between then and now though; I don't really know what happened.

That's just the cricketing equivalent of "but all the cool kids are doing it". It doesn't make it the right move.

Yeah there was a fair bit of hype around when he came on to the scene. It looked like Malinga and Vaas had finally got their proper 3rd seamer.
