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

[vcs]

Point still stands.

I'd say it'd be worse if they fold limply once again in the 2nd innings. The series is over but they need to put up some kind of fight (again weather permitting) in the 2nd dig, just to save face.

 

[zaremba]

i wonder whether that might be held up if morgan gets near 3 figures in the next 20 minutes or so.

n/a

This is verging on embarrassing now. Can't recall a Test side - a supposedly decent one at that - look so utterly uninterested on the park.

can't decide whats been worse Sl bowling this summer or Pakistan's batting last summer and Burgey Ravi Ratnayke was twice the bowler then any of these clown put together

Morgan goes down slogging again. Can't wait for people in 6 months to use his scores as proof he can't go on.

Sigh. Shouldn't have sent in another bat.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Prior was on a hiding to nothing there.

Kudos on the selflessness tho.

 

[Spark]

Haha Prior won't be happy with that. Declare ffs.

They didn't.

I hope they're putting away the TVs in the change rooms.

This is why they should have sent out Swann imho.

Nice clip of Prior aiming at the dressing room window with his bat

 

[Burgey]

Lol Matty Prior.

Showered glass down onto an unsuspecting spectator last test, has a giggle about it this one.

 

[Howe_zat]

Now this, this is pointless.

 

[Burgey]

Now this, this is pointless.

Never heard Broad better described than that.

 

[zaremba]

Well that was all a bit of a waste of time wasn't it?

 

[four_or_six]

Nice to see us declaring before the commentators expect it

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'd be savage if I were Broad or Prior. Both ended up with ducks for no positive benefit to the team.

 

[Spark]

So nothing of value was achieved in those two overs. Kudos.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well at least it was a brief waste of time.

50 overs today. Could get 30 or so tomorrow. Game's still on.

 

[wpdavid]

2nd successive test iirc. Doesn't augur well for the one-dayers, does it.

Anyway, at least the game should get interesting now.

 

[Isura]

Malinga?

He's retired from tests afaik. In any case I don't rate him as any but an (at best) average test bowler.

Better than the alternatives tho, surely?

Herath & a fit Fernando might just be worthy of the "test bowler" assignation, but as for Larry, Curly & Moe; not so much.
