Group 1 Second Round - Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Netherlands

[King Pietersen]

That slower ball which went for 4 is a perfect example of why Dernbach is so expensive. Was a pretty good slower ball, but there was nobody outside the circle on the off-side, so bowling a slower ball out there was just ********. So many times he'll bowl a wide last ball of the over, and go for a boundary next ball too. Dernbach with a good cricket brain would be a hell of a bowler.

Whatever they end up on will be a very imposing score.

May as well send in Kula over Chamdimal if we lose a wicket now...

 

[King Pietersen]

Derpbach.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well

England's fielding has provided some quality entertainment, happy I stayed up to watch this now

 

[Maximas]

England handed us most of those runs, but well played anyway

 

[YorksLanka]

very good score, i am happy with that and we should defend that. if we dont then it will be well played England...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Malinga is tricky enough to pick up but with the potential for slippery beamers with this dew, it could get nasty

 

[Jono]

They are pretty much the worst team to watch right now. Yuck.

I think you're safe as houses mate.

On a related note, once again England's fielding makes you wonder wtf goes on at county level to produce these donkeys.

EDIT
As does the batting. Lovely start boys. Now just FRO back to village cricket please.

 

[Jono]

Are we bowling with a bar of soap or something? Dernbach is bowling full tosses, and no-one can catch the bloody thing. Embarrassing.

You realise dernbach is always awful yeah?

 

[YorksLanka]

to be fair i suppose the dew will make life diffiucult for the fielders but it wasnt England's usual standard today. I really cant say what is stopping these guys doing well tbh-apart from Giles as coach- personally i have never rated him and being a team man and a nice guy isnt enough imho to get the job..i agree with the sky sports commentators here that Mahela should have been given out, howvere hey havent mentioned that Kushal shouldn't have been given out too.

 

[Maximas]

Good from Kula, got his outswinger/straight ball combo working nicely already

 

[Jono]

That's it I'm done. Bed time.

Quality of cricket this tournament has been pathetic.

Need to get rid of the **** teams ASAP.

Before I even get up England lose another.

Apparently England have to hit big every ball as per thee hack commentators. The **** you used to hear about t20 chases back in 2007. That's not how you chase.

Yeah you do that. Meanwhile I'll stay up and fap to Kula

 

[YorksLanka]

COME ON KULA !!! also very good captaincy from Chandi for putting the second slip in there..i am impressed with that captaincy...

 

[Maximas]

Was kinda looking forward to seeing a bit of Moeen Ali actually
