***Official*** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2014

[Maximas]

Holy **** that was weird not knowing it was a free hit

Holy **** that was weird not knowing it was a free hit

yea i was like "didn't know ballance was considered a tailender"..

 

[Maximas]

Mendis using his googly nicely, ohh, there he goes, good sustained pressure bowling for many overs paying off

 

[viriya]

Not sure what Root is trying to do here.. he's been there long enough to at least get the single and get Morgan on strike?

 

[viriya]

Disappointing innings from Root.. looks like he's still not sure about what his role is.

 

[Maximas]

Game over, top spell from Sachi there

 

[Maximas]

If England are to have any chance here Mendis must go

 

[viriya]

Buttler has an excellent ODI domestic/international record.. making things interesting.

 

[Maximas]

I think Malinga needed to come on now rather than Kula, just to kill the contest

 

[viriya]

Buttler making it look easy.. if he can keep at this for 5 more overs Eng have a real chance.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Top 50 from Jos, brought up in the grand manner.

Now double it and all that.

114 needed off 12. Improbable, but not quite impossible.

 

[grecian]

I'll start to hope in about 60 runs time, if we get that far.

 

[BeeGee]

Good knock, this.

 

[Jarquis]

Batting PP actually went well

These pair just batting in a different game to the top order

 

[viriya]

in T20 terms, this looks very gettable.. and they don't seem to have problems with Malinga.

 

[Maximas]

Would love a wicket here

 

[grecian]

Would love a wicket here

Why??? surely even if you are a Lankan supporter you realise a wicket will make little baby jesus cry

 

[Jarquis]

Jesus christ that's quick work between the stumps. Ravi called 2 from the off and I thought it was suicide

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lankans' fielding not of the first water just now.

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm that over just ****ed a lot of the momentum

Its still at the stage where one wicket kills the game, and would be very surprised if three overs of Malinga doesn't produce one
