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

[Prince EWS]

Time for Moeen to have a proper spell IMO. Really shouldn't be playing if he's going to bowl this little even when partnerships develop given the pitch isn't a complete graveyard for spinners.

 

[Maximas]

ah jeez, it was starting to look so so good as well

 

[Viscount Tom]

Safe to say who is on top now and it isn't England.

Full on jinxed a wicket for us.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Predictable as **** performance from Sanga this series. WAC.
That average is ballooning to alarming proportions really

 

[viriya]

Well that was unexpected.. could be the series-defining dismissal..

 

[Maximas]

I reckon Matthews should've come out at five, suddenly the heat is really on with Thirimanne in, I guess he's gonna have to prove why he was appointed VC in this innings, probably playing for his spot in the side right now

 

[Viscount Tom]

Would get Plunkers on ahead Anderson atm.

Haha yesss!! Excellent call, even if I do say so myself.

Agreed Mathews should really be moving up.. but SL need Thiri to come good to make a fist of things I think.

Partnerships:
40
53
79

The key is to continue this trend and build another partnership, cmon bois

 

[Viscount Tom]

That was a good nut that.

 

[Spark]

Heroically awful series for Thirimanne

By the way, there are many things about Cook's captaincy I don't like but the way he uses Broad and Anderson in ridiculously long spells is one of the worst IMO

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tell you what, that's a very decent nut from Moeen.

Thirimanne not had a great test with the willow it's fair to say.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Full on jinxed a wicket for us.

Didn't expect it too as they looked so comfortable.

Ali getting this much help tells me that Herath will be a huge problem in the last innings. We need to keep it below 200 if we can.

So much for that.. Can we rewind and bring in Dilruwan please?

 

[Prince EWS]

Tell you what, that's a very decent nut from Moeen.

I'll make a believer of you yet.

 

[viriya]

At this stage SL would probably be happy with just a 200 run lead.. 2 more wickets and it's all over.

You would have to say that despite a couple of wickets he is the one who is in danger of losing his place for the India series. Not done a lot with bat and hardly bowled, could use Root for the amount of overs Ali has had.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Missing leg surely

 

[Maximas]

Missing leg surely

or only clipping at least
