***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

[Silver Silva]

The test before this one?

Edit: Depends what you mean. Joseph and Joseph have bowled bowled together within the first handful of overs with the new ball ala the Fernando’s.

But Shamar hasn’t ever opened the bowling

Surely a Khan combination must have done it at some point for Pakistan

 

[Silver Silva]

Oh no our nemesis is here ..

Joe Root loves scoring runs vs Sri lanka, eats us for breakfast lunch and supper

Asitha is SO good. The most unferrated pacer in the world right now.

Asitha is SO good. The most underrated pacer in the world right now.

Yes he is now that Jimmy has retired.

Can see why Mathews would have wanted to review his dismissal, but that was poor, and now they’re out of reviews. Generally when they leave it to the last second, it doesn’t scream confidence!

What do I know about reviews eh!

 

[Silver Silva]

Vishwa Fernando !

Lawrence is outta here , England's two best bats at the crease now

 

[chris.hinton]

Root will get a 100

 

[Howe_zat]

Root will get a 100

Seems rather necessary at this point

 

[chris.hinton]

I agree, Just think he's in that mood

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Currently on holiday and haven't been able to follow beyond the odd glance at a scorecard. How did Lawrence look opening the batting?

He normally is in the mood on pitches in England when others struggle.

But he's been in great nick all summer. Gone back to what makes him so good, rather than being muddle trying to play a different way.

He looked like Crawley which is pretty good for a start

Class player will go past Sangakkara soon on the runs list

Root is just one of those players where you look up at the scoreboard and suddenly notice it's mid afternoon and you said you were going to do a lot more with the day but you're still in your pyjamas and maybe she was right

 

[Silver Silva]

Damn these guys just keep pushing and pushing the accelerate button ! Very easy to get overwhelmed by it

We’ve got a thin batting lineup, so these guys need to make hay or else it’s very much game on

 

[sayon basak]

He will almost certainly end up with the second highest run tally, might even surpass Sachin if he plays for long enough.

 

[CartyDurham]

Seen that dismissal of Pope too many times

nearly falling over defensively

good ball though

I watched him bat at Trent Bridge in 2015. The day Stuart got 8-for-not-a-lot. Got in half an hour after lunch, having missed 12 wickets. Next minute, the scoreboard told me Joe had a century.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Not getting anything for that. Don't review it.
