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

[Jacknife]

Can't believe he just dropped that, dolly at this level, would have had them in real trouble.

Can't believe how much we managed to **** up that innings. Was quite content at 210-3 really but shouldn't have expected any less.

Good start here, though, which was key. Trouble is that these two could quite easily win the game on their own.

Especially when we can't be arsed to hold onto chances like that from Jaywardene.

Unforgivable at this level.

Jade Dernbach, lol.

AWTA.

Would be disappointing at U15s level tbh. Absolute lollipop.

 

[MW1304]

Dernbach you ****ing **** of a **** with a ****ing donkey **** ****!!!!!

 

[MW1304]

Christ they've got the luck today. We need them out and we need them out fast or we could be ****ed. Don't gove them ny chances.

****ing Dernbach.

 

[_Ed_]

****ing Dernbach.

 

[Spark]

Mahela, what the **** are you doing?!

Dernbach, breathe again.

 

[Jacknife]

Dirtbag breathing a sigh of relief. Jimmy get Jaya, good stuff from England getting early wickets.

 

[MW1304]

Jimmy you're a hero!

Should be easy now. Done what was needed at start and it won't get easier to bat on later with the softer ball.

Get Mathews out then I'll believe you've won.

 

[MW1304]

We obviously haven't won yet, but getting one of Jaya and Sanga early was vital. As I said, don't give them a chance.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good counter from Chandimal. Going to be interesting to see how Patel does.

 

[The_roc]

Bumble says that Patel is at the lowest fitness level that is acceptable to the selectors.

Whoever would have thought!

 

[Jacknife]

need a wicket, to slow them down here, see if Swanny can do the business.

Oh so nearly brilliant, from Swanny.

 

[GIMH]

Swann bowling well

 

[Uppercut]

Two maidens from Swann. Bringing the game back under England's control.

 

[Jacknife]

Brilliant from Swanny, 2 maidens in a row.

 

[MW1304]

How often have we taken early wickets only to see Sri Lanka drag it back with relative ease?

To be fair, its mainly been down to Chandimal rather than over-defensive field in this case, but I still feel we could be doing more.
