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

Game over. Well played SL on series win.

Just hope the press and pundits don't make too much of the incident earlier. Buttler was stupid and SL did nothing wrong IMO.

Nah long way to go yet mate, we have collapsed in the series so wouldn't rule anything out yet..very decent of you to say tho but I know that's the way you are..

 

[YorksLanka]

See!! Great catch ..must be a Yorkshireman !!

 

[91Jmay]

Not sure Dilshan needed to do that.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

England can hardly take the high moral ground on this. The Grant Eliot run out in 2008 was far worse than a Mankad with a warning imo.

 

[viriya]

Dilshan was going for the jugular.. can't blame him if it came off it would take the game away from Eng.

 

[YorksLanka]

At least we shouldn't have a run out now anyway..

Not disagreeing there, why I am not fussed about todays incident. All sides at some stage have an incident like this that others dislike but thankfully they are rare.

Just hope it doesn't carry on into the test series and make that spiteful.

So long as it was the non-striker's wicket that he threw at, that's fine with me.

 

[YorksLanka]

Another good catch from Jordan, he is pretty handy in the slips..

 

[viriya]

Game on.

Handy replacement for Swann there in all forms of the game. Obviously he can stay there when the spinner on though unlike Swann.

 

[91Jmay]

Great ball and top catch. Knew Tredwell would go well here. Get Ravi/Root on.

 

[YorksLanka]

I have to admit I was critical of tredwell in the series but that was a very good ball..we need to see out Anderson and graft out these runs from here if we are to get over the line

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not out was my first thought.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, game on now. Wasn't expecting this.

 

[YorksLanka]

Me too but on review good decision from him( this time)

 

[91Jmay]

Great decision, thought that was going over.

Understandable review, but being that height there is always a chance. Need Mahela then we might have a game, whilst he is there Sri Lanka should walk it.

 

[Cabinet96]

Watchout we've got a grown up over here.

You'd never guess which one it is.

 

[viriya]

Not sure playing out maidens is the right strategy for SL.
