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

[TopCat]

Back to back 6's from Morgan - great batting. 15 from the over.

Bell doesn't seem to move his feet to the spinners, like he does in Test cricket.

That's because it's not something he does instinctively/naturally.

If Morgan bats through til the end, England will win. IMO.

AWTA. Love watching him bat BTW.

 

[Uppercut]

Malinga-factor at the death going to be the difference here, I suspect.

I agree, Bell just needs to stick with him and not expose a end for too long.
If they can keep a few wickets in hand and these 2 do most of the work, something like 35 off 5 overs is doable.

Kp fails again, average of 23 in two years, now. Give someone else a chance and let him concentrate on 20/20 and Tests. please.

All on Morgan this match, he's the only guy who can get us close. Hope they give Patel a game, whatever happens, for dirtbag or Broad, in fact I'm edging towards Broad, guy needs dropping.

 

[TopCat]

Bell is scoring at only 56 per 100 balls. Heaping pressure on Morgan - why oh why is he so slow in ODIs?

 

[Jacknife]

Bell's got to do more than hang around, every time they don't get 8rpo, it's going up.
50 up for Morgs, now finish it off lad.

Yup. You can't see us taking 8 an over from his remaining five, even if we stay in the game that long.

 

[Spark]

Aaand that's the game. Not sure why Morgan didn't try to get back in his crease.

 

[superkingdave]

Oh dear, might have had time to get back if he hadn't given it up as well

 

[vcs]

Morgan stumped. Great stumping, that really bounced on Sanga.

 

[Jacknife]

Yes, was a bit weird that one.

 

[vcs]

Spinners really tying England down here.

 

[wpdavid]

In better news, Murray has just taken the first set.


Back to the cricket ..

Spinners really tying England down here.

Which was always likely, tbh.

 

[Jacknife]

Absolute ****e that, really poor from Bresnan, from start to finish.

 

[MW1304]

Well that was horrendous. Get Swann in.

 

[vcs]

Nightmare innings from Bresnan there. Been a poor day for him.
