27th Match - England v Sri Lanka

[OverratedSanity]

I know people are going to criticize Mathews' strike rate but really, SL we're in danger of not batting the full 50,so I'm not going to be too harsh on him.

Not that it matters a great deal. England will stroll home.

Drinking my 12th beer in my favourite thailand bar, after 15 years living in the Middle East managing 32 nationalities and 6 years in England. Don't know how I caused a racial incident with that resume, but maintain that Stokes, Morgan and Archer are not English

2 of the 3 learned all their cricket in England. The 3rd one has only ever had one passport, a British one (and incidentally only started to persue the idea of playing in England when his own country didn't pick him for their U19s - suggests he must've picked up a fair bit of his cricketing knowledge etc from being in England).

How's Mathews ducking that short ball with 2 balls to go lmfao. What a strange innings.

I am really sorry I have hurt your feelings so. On to the ignore for you, no point polluting this thread any further.

Always find it hilarious when people use the ignore function. It’s just cowardice.

Apt in your case. Enjoy your afternoon and evening with your white feather

Ok he definitely should've tried a bit harder at the end there

Genuinely wouldn’t worry

 

[theegyptian]

This is a bad take.

You spend most of your time joking around, **** posting and trying to bait posters of other nationalities. And then you are critical of others for doing the same.

Stokes went to England as a 12 year old because his NZ parent got a 5 year work contract in England. His parents then returned to NZ when he was 17 and he decided to stay. How does that make him English lol

Matthews was poor today i have to say when you 115 ball and to score only 85 it pretty bad

I love living in Thailand, but no cricket team to follow...maybe I need to listen to ***** and follow Hong Kong

 

[slippy888]

Looks a spinner type pitch but Sri Lanka have 2 part time leg spinners in team lol

 

[aussie tragic]

Still hoping for a Sri Lanka miracle
