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

Why the hell do England bowlers bowl so many leg side wides? Both Woakes and Derbach started their overs with one.

Poor discipline.

 

[Jacknife]

That first ball off Dirtbag came off something made a noise.
Jesus what have they opened with Woakes for, friendly bowling to say the least.

 

[Isura]

Woeful bowling.

ha ha captain hiding himself

Jesus, what an utter shamples this team looks and is.

EDIT: Bopara can't bat and can't field, and won't be chosen to bowl probably. What a passenger.

Sadly Sanath is still one of our top 7 OD batsmen

 

[Jacknife]

Dirtbag's first wicket is Jaya, he'll be pleased with that.

Gone for 8.

I hope he's not in the SL top 7

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hope he proves me wrong, but I still don't see Woakes as an international bowler.

Dernbach showing encouraging signs tho and a good stop on the boundary off his skipper there too.

 

[Jacknife]

Over 93mph from Broad, very good pace.

Yes, I think Denbach defo has something about him but Woakes isn't a international bowler, especially limited overs cricket.

I think you are being harsh on Woakes, T20 is his weakest format with the ball, even his domestic record is poor. Its another case of us selecting players for teh wrong format tbh

Jon Lewis with a better haircut + a few lower order runs, IMHO.

I'll let you call it, but people were saying similar things about Bresnan a year ago or less. Woakes has a senstational FC record

He's a very English sort of bowler, he'll nibble it around on a length and have a very good FC county career (like Lewis, in fact) but unless he adds some pace he'll be fodder against better batsmen on less responsive decks.

As I said, I hope I'm wrong because he seems a lovely lad, but I can't see it.

 

[Lostman]

Boring 20/20

 

[Jacknife]

How can Wright be in the team just as a batsman, if he wasn't going to bowl, should have played Bell instead.
It all just seems, a not very well thought out team selection.

 

[Bun]

why the bloody hell the morons booing?

 

[vcs]

SANAAAAATH!!!

WAFG.

Would have tuned it if I'd known this was going on. He'll play the ODI's, right?
