80-1 off 18, feels like deja vu all over again.

Wow, Herath bowling at mid-seventies, is that normal?

 

[NUFAN]

It was cancelled. So was my bet on NZ. But the Voges bet stood. Lucky I am.

Haha so lucky. RIght decision though from the betting company.

I've lost almost every bet in this tournament so far. Just betting small amounts so not a big problem yet.

I'm surprised Dilshan hasn't rolled his arm over yet.

KPH? Yes, very. He doesn't bowl quick darts.

 

[MW1304]

Eurgh Trott's scoring too quickly, which is putting pressure on Cook who feels bad that he can't keep up and is thus risking giving his wicket away.

For God's sake slow down man.

 

[Maximas]

KPH? Yes, very. He doesn't bowl quick darts.

That's very slow for a finger spinner though, even slower than Warne. He bowled another ball at 85kph which I thought was his normal speed. He varies it a lot though.

 

[Cabinet96]

First boundary in nearly 10 overs. Going well though.

 

[Howe_zat]

Been some top fielding from SL. Bowling been unthreatening though.

He does vary it a lot, but he's not one to push it through unless he's trying to trap you on the crease.

 

[Howe_zat]

Gorging themselves on singles

Yeah; he never uses the quicker ball as a defensive option. He uses it as a change up to attempt to take a wicket.

 

[Prince EWS]

Dilshan going out of his way to cost me money. WAC.

 

[Cabinet96]

He'll waste a review.

 

[Howe_zat]

First thought was it's too high.

edit which is obvs bollocks, plumb as

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha that wasn't even umpire's call. Would've been overturned if not given. Poor.

 

[King Pietersen]

It just looked out live, and proven to be absolutely plumb on review. Seen so many awful reviews in this competition so far. Not the best innings from Cook.

 

[Cabinet96]

It's so crap that it's almost compulsory for players to review the first given LBW. Reviews could be handy with Malinga targeting the toes later on.

 

[Days of Grace]

Haha, how selfish are the batsmen being in this tournament.

Noticed that the bowlers have definitely tailored down their use of the referrels, but the batsmen are betraying their selfishness. Guess it comes down to one mistake for batsmen and you're out, versus the multiple chances for bowlers.

 

[Goughy]

I would have never have given that LBW out and I would have been wrong

Has to be bloody short for Herath to be too high.
