***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

[WindieWeathers]

It's alarming to see how poor SL have become of late!! , their batting strength was always something they could rely on but that seems to have gone downhill aswell, no doubt they'll click in one innings and put up a decent score but the poor ones they are having these days are pretty much costing them the series because their bowlers just aren't good enough to get them out of jail.

Grieg: Samaraweera seems to have been there all day!

He bats at 5, and the day is 50 minutes old.

...Really?

That's nothing short of a disgrace.

Foreigners are charged more to enter the Taj Mahal, but the price difference isn't that large ffs.

 

[Debris]

Commentators here keep saying that Andersen and Broad are the best opening bowling combination in the world. Surely Steyn and Philander, at least, are clearly better?

 

[TT Boy]

Samaraweera SR of 2.08. He really wants all English fans to think, how the **** does this guy average 53?

Just trying to fire up the hype for Eng vs. SA this year I reckon.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Monty's ownage of Swann continues. 3 runs from his 7 overs versus 10 off 2.3.

Lol. Timed out for a review? No.

 

[Jono]

Early days to have no reviews left

 

[Viscount Tom]

Eng out of reviews on Geoffrey has already mentioned his Mam lining up to face Herath

Heroic performance.

Surely and clearly? No

OK, differing opinions on them. I look at Steyn and Philander and I would swap Pattinson and Siddle for them, no questions asked. Don't think I would swap over for Andersen and Broad.

I'd definitely put Steyn and Philander ahead of Anderson and Broad.. but there's no way that Siddle and Pattinson are better than either pair IMO.

 

[Spikey]

Siddle, thankfully, doesn't use the new ball though. It's Hilf and Pattinson. Or Hilf and Cummins. Or Pattinson and Cummins. Or someone and someone.

Agree on both counts.

I get a sort of twisted pleasure from seeing Sri Lanka get mowed down for some reason.

In saying that, I'd rather it wasn't the poms doing it. Gun to see Anderson have a good start though.

Can't bowl in the subcontinent. Greentop bully.
