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

[YorksLanka]

Just got in from work and have to say well done to England and also Root. Their day completely. Hopefully we will make it to stumps tonight without losing a wicket - if so that will be a really good effort..

 

[Viscount Tom]

Wowee that was a good nut.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice start to his test career.

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a beauty. Been coming for Karunaratne though, he's had a few streaky ones outside the off-stump.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Great start from Jordan. Once he sorts his run up out along with showing he can keep his speed up all day he will be a star.

 

[King Pietersen]

I like that yorker. Massively under-used delivery in Test cricket imo.

Hoping that Sanga gets a ton

Great bat and good guy who deserves to have his name on the Lords board

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jordan looks like a good poach. The jury's still out on Robson and Ballance.

Usually i'd agree with wanting Kumar to get a ton, but England need a test win after the winter they've had.

 

[grecian]

See Plunkers is as accurate as ever.

 

[Athlai]

Silva is quite an attractive player. Hasn't really middled anything though.

The Plunkett comes on!

 

[YorksLanka]

I call out..
Maybe not then...

 

[grecian]

It's out, it's in the gloves FFS.

oh maybe not, it's hard watching two things at once.

 

[Biryani Pillow]

No.

That was out.

Dreadful over turn.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Its out. The umps know all about camera foreshortening and they still don't give it. It went straight in.

 

[Stapel]

Not out indeed!

I agree.
Does he have a ton in England at all?

 

[Viscount Tom]

Hampshire 3rd test last time round.

 

[YorksLanka]

Yes I think he got one in 2011..only think tho so apologies if I am wrong..

 

[91Jmay]

Just checked the cricket after sessioning last night/today. Unbelieveable from Rooty, going on to big hundreds is no bad habit to have. Did really well to score that many runs that quickly but the Lankan reply looks solid enough so probably a road. Forcing a result will be difficult without a spinner.

 

[Furball]

Not out indeed!



I agree.

Yeah, tonned up in the 3rd Test to ensure a draw.
