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

[Cevno]

Field tells me its the plan though so the person taking the blame should be Sanga.

You mean Dilshan?

Edit - Is he not on the ground?

Nope. Sanga seems to be setting the field.

I really wudnt have put it past eng had they possessed andy but with this attack hard to expect lightning strike twice. will need a herculean effort from swanny.

Who's andy?

 

[Nate]

Anderson?

Sure Caddick was a very good 2nd innings bowler, but he retired a long time back. England have to look at the future now.

Is Cook finally learning to play straight drives?

It's hard to play a straight drive to short wide rubbish, which is why we didn't see much of it in Australia

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Superb straight driving from both the men against dibbly-dobbly nonesense.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good start by England now, good run rate too.

Got to be looking for around a 200 run lead tonight if they get the overs in.

Oi, Hilfenhaus gave you plenty of half-volleys and full-tosses thank you very much.

Trott you're 24 n.o playing nicely. Stop whinging about the light, score some runs for yourself, help the England side, and entertain the paying public.

You know, do your job.

 

[Spark]

ffs surely this isn't dangerous

 

[hazsa19]

****ing ridiculous. Sack Doctrove.

 

[NasserFan207]

FFS this weather. It feels like I've been living in a heatwave for over a month, yet every time a test starts things go to ****.

 

[Spark]

Well that was just ****ing pointless

 

[hazsa19]

I kind of hope Trott gets out now, and it would be entirely his own doing.

It's entirely the umpires decision as to when they come off for bad light.

 

[GIMH]

Spank the rubbish

 

[Spark]

Hmm Cook has looked dodgy in the last bit. Is his back foot meant to be going legside before shuffling across?

ed: front foot rather

 

[Howe_zat]

50 up for Trott off 66 balls.

Sehwagesque by his standards.
