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

[Daemon]

Anderson's wrist position for outswing and inswing is so similar, would be incredibly hard to pick up for a batsmen. They were comparing them earlier on in the match, his point of release is also nearly the same unlike other bowlers who release it from a slight angle when trying to achieve outswing.

 

[Spikey]

it's now after lunch so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt

 

[Spark]

It was for a bit, and then they start talking to Robert Croft.

Yeah I left it there.

 

[Howe_zat]

It is but high-130s is still quick enough. And more movement > more pace.

Not necessarily. What's crucial is when it moves. Anderson barely moved it at all in Australia but there's only two inches between middling it and nicking off.

This. Someone like Hilfenhaus swings it from the hand, it barely moves at all after pitching.

Anderson to Clarke at Sydney was some of the best swing bowling i've seen. The best i've seen from an Englishman.

Are you lot, Doctrove, and the commentators blind? Not a clear hot spot but something definitely appears. If Doctrove hasn't got good enough eyesight to see it he shouldn't be in the job.

And surprise surprise snicko...

Just been catching up on what I've missed and I agree with you, it was similar to last test, where a little mark appeared on hot spot, then faded quickly.

 

[Uppercut]

Wow, Sri Lanka are now 28/1 with the bookies. Someone reallllly doesn't rate their attack.

 

[Jacknife]

That was some delivery, Swinging in.

 

[Spark]

Like the field I saw there.

 

[hazsa19]

***y field to Jayawardene for one ball.

 

[Spark]

Horrid shot.

 

[Jacknife]

Ha ha ha ha, that was awful.

 

[Uppercut]

Another one down, Sanga goes. Jimmeh gets another with the sucker ball.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Sanga, Sanga, Sanga.

You're better than that.

Looks filthy at himself and rightly so.

 

[Furball]

Sangakkara's not a happy bunny.

 

[hazsa19]

Lol, such an obvious plan, but works again.

 

[Howe_zat]

I go take a shower and suddenly we're not only playing but have taken 3 wickets.

Should do so more often.

 

[Jono]

**** you Sanga.

 

[Furball]

I go take a shower and suddenly we're not only playing but have taken 3 wickets.

Should do so more often.

How long do you take in the shower?

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm, a Good series against India and Jimmeh's career average could sneak below 30 by the end of the summer.
