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

[Adders]

Hang on, have they taken the runs off Cook?? I thought it was given as runs but its gone down (correctly) as byes now.

Yeah they changed the decision.

 

[Howe_zat]

How's Robson's backing up?

 

[hendrix]

Yeah they changed the decision.

hmmm. The on field decision has not stood.

 

[Adders]

**** it.

 

[King Pietersen]

Has Bumble described Robson as "organised" yet?

****. He's out. Didn't need to play at that one!

 

[Flem274*]

That was soft. Hard hands, too wide to defend etc

 

[Flem274*]

Well that's a pretty average Ballance has.

 

[MW1304]

Shouldn't have gone near that. Too early to tell if he's wafty or if that was just a nervous First Test attempt to get bat on ball.

 

[Pothas]

Why exactly is Ballance at 3? Have we had an explanation for this?

 

[91Jmay]

Poor shot. Decent start from Sri Lanka though, putting the ball in decent areas.

 

[GIMH]

This is what happens when we pick bloody convicts

 

[Prince EWS]

Continuity between Test and ODI batting positions is the best explanation I can offer. It's really weird though.

 

[MW1304]

Reckon Nuwan's watched a lot of Praveen in 2011.

Edit: And Bumble's going through the exact same commentary routine as he did then.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Why exactly is Ballance at 3? Have we had an explanation for this?

Reckon they're trying to keep the newbies split up in the lineup.

 

[Flem274*]

we could do a drinking game on bumble and pace. we'd ****ing die though.

 

[King Pietersen]

Bumble just compared Kula to Paul Collingwood!

 

[GIMH]

Continuity between Test and ODI batting positions is the best explanation I can offer. It's really weird though.

Presume he was after an explanation from somebody important

 

[Prince EWS]

Nuwan Kulasekara has played 242 international cricket games. 20 of them have been in England.

The fact that he bowls medium pace should not be brand new information to you, Bumble.

 

[Pothas]

Continuity between Test and ODI batting positions is the best explanation I can offer. It's really weird though.

It suggests to me that they don't trust Root, he really should be at 3 with Bell at 4.
