England Vs. SriLanka

[luckyeddie]

Collie is playing very well, he's built his innings perfectly

Yes, out for 39.

Another failure for TEC to log, I suppose (or is that Richard? I get so confused nowadays).

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm, thank you Zoyza

 

[Sudeep]

49th over: 1.6.2.6.2.1

Flintoff 94*

England 239/5

 

[Sudeep]

Hmm, thank you Zoyza

Thank you Freddie, more FC points...

 

[Sudeep]

Go Freddie Go! Absolutely brilliant. He's my GOD.

 

[superkingdave]

Oh yes Freddy, rack up that 100

 

[Sudeep]

Flintoff - bowled.

104 - Brilliant innings...

England 250/6 (50th over)

 

[superkingdave]

Never seems to play for the not out though

Brilliant 100 from Freddie - Man of the Match in my opinion. England have already won this game IMO. Lankans will struggle against Harmison, Gough and rejuvenated MOM Freddie.

 

[Swervy]

Another brilliant innings from Flintoff ..takes Englands score to 250...great great hitting

 

[Jono]

Flintoff is simply amazing.

And I took him out for Shahid Afridi

 

[superkingdave]

the pitch looked good though, do you think its enough?

 

[marc71178]

Flintoff when he's set has shown before this month that he can go from 50 in 70 to 100 in 90-odd...

Or even 50 in 69 balls to 100 in 89!

Thought it might be worth quoting myself here.

78 from last 6 overs.

After 44 overs England were still only on 173 - that doesn't suggest a 250 wicket to me.

Don't know.

England drew the short straw with the toss and the weather, but have acquitted themselves well thanks largely to yet another amazing performance from an amazing player.

Now all things being equal, Alex Wharf will pick up 6-10 and Sri Lanka will be rolled for less than 100

I mentioned it to the missus.

She said "At least someone on CricketWeb is smart"

 

[marc71178]

We just haven't found that one person yet!

 

[Swervy]

yeah I think Sri Lanka will struggle to get even close to be honest.

Amazing stuff though that score after 44 overs..Flintoff was on only 51 at that time

 

[luckyeddie]

Two quick lucky wickets for Harmison have rocked Sri Lanka - such a shame that Solanki grassed Jayasuriya too.
