**Official** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2016

[Scaly piscine]

Nothing like Kenya. They lost a close ODI to Sri Lanka and got hammered in the other. It happens to every team.

They will continue to grow but it's not going to be plain sailing all the way.

 

[Migara]

Was that the most damaging 90 odd runs scored by a batsman.

Mind you, for the own team that is. #Sekkuge_Prasanna

Why is Cricinfo's headline for the match report "Prasanna just misses fastest ODI hundred"?

 

[YorksLanka]

Shaminda Eranga's action has been ruled illegal so he can no longer bowl until this has been rectified- correct decision and makes me wonder why this wasn't picked up earlier by our bowling coach??Really poor.( he was also admitted to hospital the same-day with an irregular heart beat so not the best day for him!!)..Hopefully Kasun Rajitha will be the replacement for him for the series.

His action seems to have got worse over time. If he was tested two years ago I think he would've been fine.

I see the Roof is in the Lankan side today - that brings back happy memories of 2011

Willey is getting nice outswinger to the left-hander. That's a bit rare with the white ball these days.

 

[weldone]

Both teams bat deep today - Woakes and Prasanna at no. 8. It should be a run-fest.

 

[91Jmay]

Needed that wicket, good start RR wise but SL need to consolidate a bit now.

 

[91Jmay]

England have 11 guys with a first class hundred, which is pretty incredible.

 

[ajdude]

ugh how bad is that red font colour on the scorecard

also ffs

 

[weldone]

should have sent Tharanga in this situation

 

[91Jmay]

Prasanna turning the game here. Gamble that has well and truly paid off.

Rashid with a really good spell there, 10 overs for 36 is great work.

 

[weldone]

Lol England bowling to Prasanna...noone is trying anything well outside off yet

 

[ajdude]

yeah prasanna's seeing it like a beach ball. smart to make the most of it

not so smart to have tharanga potentially batting at 8 again (which incidentally is smarter than him batting at 9 again)

 

[YorksLanka]

At Trent bridge and prassana is playing a blinder..proper cricket shots too..keep going to 300 boys
Edit- oops kiss o death...

Haven't watched the match but judging by scorecard alone, it appears Prasanna has played a potentially match-winning cameo on a tough pitch to bat on.. or it could be that the rest of the batsmen are making it look that way.

Nah this is a road.

Ave 1st inns total in the 2 List-A matches at Trent Bridge this season. Notts scored 445/8 and 415/5 and in reply the opposition teams made 425 and 379 respectively.

Tharanga being that low down is absolutely bizarre.

Why is Mathews playing so slow then?

Because they keep losing wickets.
