22nd Match - England v Sri Lanka

[Spikey]

dont get why dilshan didn't finish the over but only one ball

 

[Cabinet96]

Ha, jeez. Village.

 

[91Jmay]

Dire ball, Buttler did well to get such good contact on that.

 

[Jono]

God these guys are mediocre.

 

[Cabinet96]

woakes a smokey for england mvp in odis over the next while?

his bowling is much improved and #canbat

He's not a hitter so his batting isn't as relevant as it should be. Obviously the next Imran in tests though.

 

[smash84]

lolakmal

 

[Cabinet96]

Ramp coming up.

 

[viriya]

This is why SL need Kula in the team. Lakmal might be better early, but he is **** at the death.

 

[Cabinet96]

Ramp him ffs.

 

[smash84]

lolakmal doing well there for once

 

[Stace]

Is Buttler the best icing we've ever had?

 

[Cabinet96]

Don't know how he did that.

 

[91Jmay]

Lord have mercy. THat was a good ball. 300 + a good score here I think. Moeen to go well with the ball.

 

[Flem274*]

england punishing the filler. great to see

 

[smash84]

lolakmal...spanked.rightly so

 

[Cabinet96]

Should've left him on. Would rather have him bowling than Dilshan.

 

[Antihippy]

That is pure wrist strength.

 

[Prince EWS]

This is why SL need Kula in the team. Lakmal might be better early, but he is **** at the death.

If you told me five years ago that someone would one day advocate Kula's selection over someone else because he's better at the death despite being worse up front, I'd have thought they you were mad.

I'm not saying you're wrong; it's just an interesting turnaround for Kula who used to be an awesome new ball bowler who struggled at the end.

It's a bit like the turnaround in arguments Samaraweera ended up in before and after that career-defining tour of South Africa.

 

[Isura]

Ridiculous shot

 

[Primrose_D12]

Brainless bowling.
