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

[Scaly piscine]

3 slower balls they can see from the TMS commentary box and they scored 3 off them. Oh well.

 

[Howe_zat]

Keeper applauding on taking a wide. Is he applauding himself, or the umpire?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Buttler taking the game away

 

[Howe_zat]

Frig me. Chance of 180 here if we're lucky

 

[vcs]

Amazing.

 

[Stace]

Buttler is so good he has all he shots and makes it looks effortless.

Keeper applauding on taking a wide. Is he applauding himself, or the umpire?

the way its going he thought 1 off 0 is actually a good effort

 

[grecian]

Jos is quite good.

 

[Stace]

I'll admit I scoffed a bit when England were 100 off 15 and the projected score thing came up suggesting we'd get 160.

Haha yeah I was exactly the same.

 

[Groundking]

C'mon Jos let's smash 20 off of this last over haha

 

[LightningStrike]

He's done okay, but I almost feel sorry for Morgan at this stage - slogging shots for 1.

 

[MW1304]

Ach we need that 180, god damn.

 

[Cabinet96]

Might need the scoop out here.

 

[Howe_zat]

Really high quality last over so far

 

[MW1304]

Really good final over this, it's kind of ****ed our total into par now.

 

[Cabinet96]

He's nailed five yorkers.

 

[Cabinet96]

Haha, yes Stokes.

 

[Howe_zat]

By strike rate, that is the greatest innings of all time.

 

[MW1304]

Stokes McClenaghan's it. Phew.

Edit: We need a comparison thread on today's two ATG innings.

 

[Cabinet96]

By strike rate, that is the greatest innings of all time.

Equal with the one a few hours before it tbf.
