***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2014

[viriya]

well ****.

 

[theegyptian]

Sanga would be batting by now if Kusal was opening..

Good stuff.

 

[viriya]

Good stuff.

I hope they stick to this though.. this is SL's best batting line-up imo.

**** review

 

[viriya]

This is way too slow.. 1 wicket down and not even 100 on board at ~25.. they really need to go for it imo..

 

[Cabinet96]

You forget that England can't bowl at the death.

 

[Cabinet96]

Can these non-Woakes bowlers go away?

 

[viriya]

Sanga's attempt at getting his 20th.. Round 3.

 

[viriya]

Wtf is Prasanna doing here.. if he's there to slog get to slogging ffs

 

[viriya]

If he fails to get a ton this time should just jump off a bridge imo.

 

[Cabinet96]

Sanga is such a ****ing machine. Doesn't stop.

 

[viriya]

Cook must feel like dropping himself after dropping Sanga at 41..

 

[Cabinet96]

Tredwell is clearly a superior one day bowler to Moeen. Still probably wouldn't pick him in the WC mind.

 

[viriya]

Sanga needs to get 5 more runs to break Ponting's most international runs in a calendar year.. He has 1 more ODI and a NZ test match to get that done.

He deserves to be in the squad.. prob the only Eng bowler who is consistent in ODIs imo.

Has moving Prasanna up the order ever really worked? Just ****s with the order, glad to see Mahela opening, although I think Karunatatne will get a chance next match after this. Nice to see Chandimal get a few at the end too, would be good if he could slot back into the line-up somewhere in form

 

[Cabinet96]

God, Sky having Bumble and Botham do the death overs is a real attempt to drive my insane.

He did get 20 off 12 but it was all ugly slogs.. Hope they don't bring in Dimuth just cos Mahela failed here once.. I think this is the best line-up (with Chandi in the middle).. bring in Herath for Prasanna and Malinga for Lakmal and that's probably the best team for the WC.

I'm gonna guess Botham went on and on about "why not keep it simple and bowl yorkers".. he does have a point though.

Yeah, I think it's true sometimes. But it's Botham so he always looks at it in a very one eyed way.
