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

[Stace]

Psychologically crucial 6 from Stokes, need Jordan not to bowl **** and we should win.

Good score 171, vital we get a couple of early wickets to put huge pressure on them. In the end I thought we paced ourselves very well, especially against their best bowlers.

My god is Jos Buttler breath taking when he's on song.

 

[LightningStrike]

Pretty decent last over from Sri Lanka.

171 is not a bad score. I think if England bowl well they can defend this. However, we all know bowling isn't their strong point and people like Jordan are as likely to bowl a 20+ over as they are 4-6 near perfect yorkers.

GAME ON!

**** you, little advert dog. You are not funny.

England's bowling may be pretty dodgy but then Sri Lanka's batting is very underwhelming, basically relied on Dilshan to keep things respectable.

Yeah, i have it as evens maybe 55%-45% to England. Great 20 overs to come, couple of early wickets required.

Have to say a) not bowling Dilshan b) leaving two pie lobbers to bowl 3 of last 4 overs was shocking captaincy from Angelo.

**** you, little advert dog. You are not funny.

Yeah it's shown far to much, it's infuriating and annoying.

 

[Kirkut]

Jos Butler, my favourite England player since KP's retirement.

 

[LightningStrike]

I thought Sri Lanka bowled really well. They only really bowled 2 bad overs. - England would have got 200 had Sri Lanka bowled like S Africa.

This one could get close..... England rarely disappoint the neutral.

What is that?

 

[theegyptian]

Honestly (and I don't normally post these in case of looking stupid) but I think England will win this comfortably.

 

[fredfertang]

After those first 15 overs it couldn't be described as comfortable

 

[fredfertang]

That's a shame

 

[Groundking]

Ha back to the shed with your stupid facial hair you clown massive wicket

 

[LightningStrike]

That was very Wiley.

Pretty good chance of a semifinal lineup without any subcontinent sides.

The scenes if it happens haha, really it just shows the poor state that the subcontinent teams are in, I don't think any of them are any good in any of the formats.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Willey nearly always chips in with an early wicket. Makes a big difference.

 

[fredfertang]

they need you out there Sanga

 

[Groundking]

That's not a happy looking shed haha, should be game over really.
