22nd Match - England v Sri Lanka

I'm sure if you consult your spreadsheets they will tell you that if Morgan was still there at the end is strike rate would not be 57 FFS.

Obviously. It's your fault for taking my comment that seriously.

And can we stop talking about spreadsheets? Who uses those?

 

[Isura]

He's not known for good death bowling..

Are you familiar with England batting against spin?

He's going at 7/over so far. Not too shabby from England.

Thisara with one over too many.

 

[Isura]

Warne and Beefy together, dream-team.

I'm gonna need another beer.

 

[viriya]

Angelo with figures of 8-1-25-1.

Doubt we'll see him again.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm gonna need another beer.

If it went on much longer I was going to need to open the bourbon.

 

[grecian]

Never been more pleased to hear Bumble.

Lets face it he's John Arlott in mid-season flow compared to those dip****s.

 

[Cabinet96]

Root dominating this power play. WAG.

 

[Flem274*]

Who is the best non-Hales, Ravi or Ballance ODI batsman England have on the bench?

I don't really get why they don't choose a structure of cake | icing | cake | cake | cake | iced cake | iced cake

i.e. Not Bell | Moeen | Root | Taylor | New Batsman | Morgan | Buttler

Moeen being an allrounder opener and Morgan (in nick) and Buttler being two of the best finishers around should give England a big leg up but they suck.

 

[Pratters]

Start the engine! Bumble at least calls a spade a spade. Remember how he once talked down Bopara because he just didn't make enough runs consistently when the whole England was clamouring behind Bopara.

That structure is exactly what England do but with Morgan and Taylor swapped (though arguably Taylor and Root are iced cake as well).

 

[viriya]

England still on track for a comfortable 300+ here.

 

[Flem274*]

Gutted I missed Lakmal's first spell

 

[Isura]

Warne is bad even for Australian standards. Guy constantly dominates the commentary, interrupts his partner, and doesn't make any sense most of the time.

 

[viriya]

No more Thisara please.. bowl yourself Angelo you lazy ****.

 

[YorksLanka]

Clearly trying the jinx.

nah, the jinx is me getting up and going to make a coffee / loo break..gotta keep teh voodoo for when its really necessary
Root is one who quitely goes about his business and the next time you look he is on 80 and Taylor's aggresive running really impressesme..

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah and it's stupid. Taylor isn't a #6 ffs and they're putting their out of nick best #6, arguably in the entire world when on song, at #5.

 

[Isura]

No more Thisara please.. bowl yourself Angelo you lazy ****.

It would be nice if more than 50% of our team didn't have a visible gut.

 

[Cabinet96]

300 has been scored in the first innings 11 times but only been chased once. It's still a really good score. People like Bumble trying to argue 330 is par are just insane.
