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

[Furball]

Ali Cook in 2011:

189 vs Australia at Sydney
133 vs Sri Lanka at Cardiff
96 & 106 vs Sri Lanka at Lord's

 

[Jacknife]

Huge no ball off that first delivery.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So it looks like it is 15-20 mins then declare the way they are going.

 

[Athlai]

Haha Fernando's slower ball. Finally has a situation in Test cricket where it is useful.

 

[Spark]

Haha bizarre dismissal. What happens when you're pushing for quick runs.

 

[Woodster]

Yes we've got enough, would come off, just losing wickets currently.

 

[Uppercut]

Haha Fernando's slower ball. Finally has a situation in Test cricket where it is useful.

It is pretty much his one cricketing ability. Got a couple of important wickets with it when England were in Sri Lanka in '07 tbf.

 

[Spark]

did Prior just break a window?

 

[Jacknife]

Looks like Prior's put the window through, in the Lords dressing room.

 

[Athlai]

Declare!

 

[hazsa19]

absolute legend.

Strauss doesn't look happy

 

[Spark]

Think Bell will want Strauss to wait a while just so he gets to stay away from Prior

 

[Woodster]

Lead of 331 leaving SL 60 overs to bat. Declare Straussy!!

Invoice on its way to Matthew Prior's house requesting a fee for a smashed window.

 

[hazsa19]

Matt Prior banned from the pavillion!

Keep going boys, get 350

 

[flibbertyjibber]

350 lead i reckon then in

 

[Himannv]

Surely this is enough? With only 5 specialist batsmen and one of whom has a fractured thumb, surely there isn't much chance of England losing this. Have as much time to bowl the opposition out IMO.

 

[Athlai]

Prasanna! WAG.

 

[Spark]

Well that ends a truly bizarre passage of play.

 

[Athlai]

Pretty happy with that declaration.
