[kingpin]

Why come in and gloat after the fact now? Wonder where you were on Tuesday with this guff.

Hmm... i have too important things to do in my life.......

 

[Jarquis]

So Jimmeh and Swann are good and everybody else not so much..

Anderson is helped by bowling at the start when the batsmen were cautious, tbh. He hasn't bowled that well.

 

[Himannv]

Well done Jeeva!! Should have been in ahead of Kula.

 

[Spark]

Broad forgot to appeal, lol.

 

[Lostman]

Mendis made 90 odd in the warmup with a SR>100, yet Kula gets sent in ahead.

 

[Daemon]

They must have been in World Cup final mode, thinking since Jaya scored a hundred that Kula would score some useful runs as well

 

[Uppercut]

Broad's gone to the dogs.

 

[MW1304]

Not as bad as it could have been, but still ****. Probably the easiest way to describe that.

 

[Jacknife]

Helpful of Sri Lanka to send in a pinch misser.

If we can somehow keep them to 300, we've a chance.

From what I've seen and probably yourself, 300's about par on this Headingley pitch, it's been a bit of a road all summer.

 

[Himannv]

I think this is a reasonable score and I'd back our bowlers to defend it.

 

[TopCat]

Broad's gone to the dogs.

But will the selectors drop him, or continue to back him?

Drop him now I say.

 

[Spark]

Drop him for his own sake. He needs some time away from int'l cricket or the game generally to get his head in order.

Opening the bowling with Dilshan?

Edit: England giving him much to much respect IMO

Probably the last thing that KW wanted, tbf.

Really?

 

[Spark]

Haha yeah when Cook is whacking you over mid-on, "respect" is not the term I'd use.

 

[vcs]

Great shot 'wetter. Cook looks less than comfortable, though he did hit a boundary as well.

 

[wpdavid]

Perhaps not

End of the Dilshan experiment, one would presume.

 

[Howe_zat]

Ooh.

This could be a very, very good chase.
