***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

[vic_orthdox]

Bell to make a hundred.

btw I just read your signature regarding Craig. I presume that's the guy who used to post on CW? Dreadfully sad news. May I ask what happened?

Yes I saw that yesterday and went to find out what happened, he was tragically killed while cycling his bike by a motorist, awful stuff.

 

[Jacknife]

KP's aggressiveness is making these spinners drop short on a regular basis.

Wow that hour since lunch has flown by.

 

[Furball]

I'm guessing that he was including the Indian tests later this year.

3 + 2 + 4 still =/= 8

 

[Furball]

Pleasant suprise to wake up to that, although disappointing to see Cook start to bottle it on his way to 100 hundreds.

 

[Jacknife]

Knight, ' 90 England's highest score of the winter ' Errr no Knighty, Cook just scored 94 earlier today.

 

[CWB304]

Good innings by KP. Didn't think he still had it in him, tbh.

 

[superkingdave]

Ooh err, whats going on here?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not good to see gamesmanship like that.

Brilliant hundred by KP. Brutal.

 

[Jacknife]

Get in KP you beauty,

 

[Spark]

Good innings by KP. Didn't think he still had it in him, tbh.

You were convinced.

That was odd the last few minutes, but this has been a superb knock. Exactly what England expect from KP.

 

[Furball]

Top stuff from KP.

One thought, is the fact the SL have wasted their 2 reviews something to do with KP's innings? Reaching 100 out of 128 runs whilst he's been at the wicket.

 

[Jacknife]

Poor stuff from SL, just bowl and less of the gamesmanship, not sure why the umpire is speaking to KP, no rule saying he can't do that shot.

 

[grecian]

Well done KP, exactly what was needed.

What happened to Eranga? I quite rated him, when I saw him.

 

[Spark]

A "**** you!" hundred if I've ever seen one. Especially the way he got there.

 

[Spikey]

For me I don't think KP has been told he can't switch hit, but he's probably been advised Dilshan is perfectly free to abort his delivery if KP starts to change his grip before the ball leaves his hand. I don't see anything wrong with Dilshan doing that.

 

[Furball]

Current partnership 92 runs, 17.2 overs, RR: 5.30 (Bell 17, Pietersen 75

lol

 

[Eds]

I think we're obliged to ask if you're alright CWB? I'd remove any sharp objects from your current room in case Bell passes 50.

It's not the first time, and it emphasizes the fact that Mahil and Sanga are total chumps.

Killer knock by KP. Glad to see him play the style that brought him to the show in the first place.
