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

[flibbertyjibber]

Tremlett has proved me wrong, i was very dubious over his selection for Australia as i saw him as a bit of a wimp who cried off at the slightest sign of a niggle. In fact he is a beast and has improved as a bowler and looks a real threat nearly every time he bowls. Wish Strauss would give him the new ball instead of Broad.

As i said earlier in the thread another sub 100 score looks likely here. Our attack is deadly when it is on song.

Why is Jimmy being taken off, this is wrong.

Don't think we should bowl him all evening given he's straight back off injury.

I reckon he'll be back on again before the end.

 

[keeper]

You could see in Tremmers previous over, he was getting better and better, he's straightened his line up a bit and making the batsmen play, at more deliveries.

I wondered for a brief moment if he would become obsessed with getting a catch at short-leg but he did just enough to make them worry about the short ball and then put in that beauty.

What was the stat rolled out earlier? A wicket in every innings he's bowled in I think they said.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Agree with FOS. No point in having him break down again today. Hopefully Broad will get a couple of wickets and get his confidence back.

 

[Jacknife]

Poor prior looked like that took is melon off, 89mph that has rocketed off pitch. You can tell he's getting fitter Broad, he's bowing around 90mph.

 

[keeper]

Poor appeal.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bloody hell, that nearly knocked Prior out.

 

[keeper]

hehe, Holding practically salivating at these bowling conditions.

Good shot.

 

[grecian]

Tremlett bowls some really violent deliveries. Still don't quite understand why Broad isn't taking wickets, yet it seems to be what we get with him at the moment.

Oh, and why not a leg-slip?

 

[Howe_zat]

That's a classy shot from Samaraweera. Best he's played all series.

 

[four_or_six]

Is anyone managing to listen to TMS online? It just tells me the programme went off air at 1830.

 

[Jacknife]

That's the length Broad need to bowl more that first delivery. Better over from Broad that.
just about every run Tremmers has conceded has come off miss hits and edges.

I'm listening on the radio and it's still on.

Great to hear there is good carry and bounce in the pitch, makes for good cricket.

 

[keeper]

Perceptive stuff from Warne and Holding. Despite the score this is a flawed bowling performance so far despite the excellence of individual deliveries.

 

[keeper]

I'm listening on the radio and it's still on.

Great to hear there is good carry and bounce in the pitch, makes for good cricket.

Indeed, let's hope it stay this way after the pre-match doubts about this strip.

 

[Howe_zat]

It looks like there's a bit more bounce than swing right now. Would bring Swann on.

 

[four_or_six]

I'm listening on the radio and it's still on.

Thanks, they seem to have sorted it online now too.

 

[keeper]

3rd time the commentators are querying leg-byes. Don't see much wrong myself.

 

[TopCat]

Much better bowling at the moment from Broad - has he got his Mojo back?

 

[Jacknife]

Broad's bowed much better since the restart, he's found a much better length and is troubling the batsmen.
Whereas since they've come back out, Jimmy hasn't found his rhythm, he's bowled well enough but not at his very best.
