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

[BeeGee]

Captain Cook goes down with his ship.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bell not looking good against Herath here.

 

[Spark]

Haha, this is great

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Wow well done SL, great day

 

[Viscount Tom]

Bloody hell Cook barely worth his place in the side atm.

 

[Contra]

Watching Prasad bowl makes me wonder how much India are gonna miss Umesh Yadav, similar sort of bowlers.

 

[wpdavid]

Well this is something. Great ball to get first up.

Prasad showing Anderson and Broad how it's done. Pitch it up, bowl straight and let the atmospherics do the rest,

Lovely ball. Obviously beyond the most over-rated opening bowlers in world cricket to deliver anything close to it.

 

[viriya]

Did not expect Prasad to do something like that... getting close to 90mph as well..

 

[Maximas]

Prasad showing Anderson and Broad how it's done.

Yeah, bowl a short one and get a drag on

Gee that second ball was a beauty though, and it is indeed the place to bowl at Headingley

 

[Maximas]

While I still don't think we should be carrying Prasad and Pradeep in the same attack the way the pitch has developed has turned this into a decent selection in the end, you want fast guys like this steaming in on flat pitches

 

[OverratedSanity]

Prasad showing Anderson and Broad how it's done.

Ha yeah

Dhammika ****ing Prasad outbowling Anderson and Broad comprehensively at Headingley. Let that sink in for a second.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Might save that fiver now.

 

[Daemon]

Prasad!

 

[OverratedSanity]

This just gets better and better.

 

[Spark]

Nicely bowled, but that's a pretty dumb shot to play at this stage of the day when you're essentially trying to save the game.

 

[viriya]

this just looks too easy..

 

[Spark]

But yeah, not the most shocking thing: pitch it up at Headingley, get wickets.

 

[Maximas]

Hahahaha I'm tasting so hard...

You can't just keep throwing firepower at the batsmen and expect to take more wickets, our success in the UAE was driven by putting the ball in the right places and extracting a bit of movement, we can kiss that goodbye if we pick prasad and Pradeep in the same lineup. Also...

Career strike rate:
Prasad - 82
Kula - 74

Not only is the tactic of going for as much firepower as possible quite flawed IMO Sri Lanka simply don't have the personnel capable of doing it properly

 

[Spark]

Bell not picking that straighter one at all. Could get bowled leaving one

EDIT: Geez that's a gem

 

[viriya]

Prasad already has his best ever test figures
