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

[Cabinet96]

That is a friggin fantastic over from Jordan. I expect no one to remember it next time he goes for a few.

He's a good death bowler, no denying.

SL would be home comfortably if their perennial jokers like Chandimal and Thirimanne justified their existence. I mean, Thirimanne.. what has he ever done in his life apart from one century in the Asia Cup final?

 

[Cabinet96]

bad throw

[Cabinet96]

I had Misbah 2007 flashbacks.

 

[Groundking]

Rashid is ****

Adil Rashid and the Very Very Bad Day

Regardless of the result this is one of the best ever t20 innings by Matthews. SL was down and out and looking down the barrel when he came out.

 

[vcs]

Ah well.. great fight from Sri Lanka. England got the job done.. just about.

 

[Compton]

That's **** fielding, Rashid.

 

[91Jmay]

****ing hell Willey that was dire.

Yeah should be MotM no question.

 

[Cabinet96]

Great from Stokes. Shame Mathews is on one leg though.

 

[Compton]

First ball was a low full toss that he got away with, but Ben Stokes has absolutely nailed his yorker here.

 

[smash84]

WTF is cricinfo on about?

12 from 3 balls. This is pressure. This is real, real pressure

 

[91Jmay]

Superb from all the pace bowlers. Spin got mauled.

Stokes great set of 4, run out, good catch and 1 ball 6 runs.

I questioned his place in the side but this was amazing.

 

[smash84]

well played England and SL, great match. Great innings frmo matthews

 

[Viscount Tom]

Phew.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah should be MotM no question.

Buttler 7 less runs at far higher strike rate.

 

[MW1304]

Great from Stokes too. This was a big game for him and Jordan and they delivered.

So much stress.

Also all Rashid needed to do there was get anything on it to stop it from going for four, so he kinda did his job even if it looked horrid. Mathews a hero as ever.
