17th Match - England v Sri Lanka (26th March)

[Groundking]

Running it around is good and all, but we really really need to start hitting boundaries.

 

[Cabinet96]

Perera needs to go the distance.

 

[Groundking]

It's time to go big or **** off Morgan, do it ASAP

 

[Howe_zat]

Yessss Mogs

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

That's pretty much effortless 92m six

 

[Cabinet96]

Perera needs to go the distance.

I'll take 14 off three balls.

 

[Watson33]

What do we reckon is a good score on here? I reckon 130 and Eng are right in it!

We need 150 I think, anything less and psychologically it's SL's imo

Buttler's 27 off 20 and he hasn't even got going yet. Huge weapon for England.

 

[Cabinet96]

I don't understand how he hit that so well. Thought for sure he was about to chip it straight in the air.

 

[Howe_zat]

Buttler's wrist speed is just incredible. I bet he hits 250+ on the golf course

 

[Cabinet96]

That's a bonus...

Yeah you feel if he stays in all the way to the end we'll be looking at 170-180. And that's really poor umpiring

 

[MW1304]

Those are just the worst. At least it didn't go for many.

 

[LightningStrike]

160 would be a decent score.

Got to go for it now.

 

[grecian]

Can't see why they can't cancel that, stupid, line decision. Anyway 3 dot balls in that over, going by that cretinous way of judging things must have been a good one for the Lankans.

 

[vcs]

That's amazing. Most batsmen would struggle to generate much power on a high-ish full-toss outside offstump. Effortlessly whacks it almost for six.

 

[Howe_zat]

Sri Lanka didn't half front load the bowling. Looks like England did well to set a platform, paying dividends now

I really don't understand why Mathews didn't save himself for the death, this is poor.

 

[Cabinet96]

I'll admit I scoffed a bit when England were 100 off 15 and the projected score thing came up suggesting we'd get 160.
