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

Old Man Mathews with a quality fifty, teaching a few of the youngsters how to bat in tough circumstances.

Broad is an excellent TV presenter. Hope he sticks around for Sky.

Sky's test cricket coverage is second to none and Broad is another good addition to their commentary line up.

Matthews has a solid record, but still feels like a bit of an underachiever. In the early days of the fab4 he was right up there with them, not so much anymore.

Averaging 45 home and away, seems harsh!

 

[CartyDurham]

Could that have been a little under edge there ?

maybe not on second view

my eyes are going, it would have been outside edge and it didn’t hit that that either

Yeah Broad is quality with his experience and insights into how players think on the field, especially fast bowlers .

No offence meant but I can’t read Kamindu’s name without thinking of Kathmandu

You've hit on a truth; ever since his debut in Test cricket, he's been reaching new heights.

Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties.

 

[Silver Silva]

So we have a lead effectively 1/5 lol

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was going down leg

 

[King Kane]

Bashir could have a wicket here.

Kath Mandu sounds like a women's cricket commentator.

 

[CartyDurham]

Not convinced on this one

could be umpires call at best

 

[mackembhoy]

Did Smith miss a stumping chance there while appealing?

Guess we shall see on the replay

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Joel Wilson is going to mess this up.

EDIT: No ball saved him lol

 

[CartyDurham]

No ball for the keeper in front of the stumps by an inch at best

now that’s a new one

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

You win some, you lose some, as Bashir has found out in this Test

 

[CartyDurham]

Joel Wilson is going to mess this up.

I’ve never seen or heard that before in 40 plus years of watching the game

 

[mackembhoy]

Wait how were his gloves in front of the stumps?
