***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

Safe to say the Dan Lawrence opening experiment was about as successful as the Mark Ramprakash one back in the day.

I keep forgetting how old you are. Mind you, poor old Ramps had to do the job against Ambrose and Walsh.

Think Sri Lanka might **** themselves now they’ve got into a really good position, but what if they don’t?

If they don't they deserve to win it.

 

[GIMH]

EDIT
Played across a straight full toss apparently. Oh well.

Think that’s a tad harsh. It was a good delivery

 

[Chin Music]

The talk is about the fine line between aggression and recklessness. That line has been crossed by too many batsmen this match

Blame Aggers. I'm relying on the BBC website and cricinfo. I guess there's a grey area when a yorker becomes a full toss. But either way, Root's dismissal is nowhere close to being as self-inflicted as most of what we've seen here.

Goes without saying that England need to bat as long as possible, but it’s particularly important now with Atkinson not bowling today

 

[GIMH]

Think Harry is stone dead here

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Oh dear. Same delivery practically.

 

[Bahseph]

Fernando has something going here.

 

[GIMH]

Pretty turd review that

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayee]

Two utterly utterly wasted reviews, great

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oooops. Good ball that though

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Brook has burned two absolute stonewallers

 

[wpdavid]

Think Harry is stone dead here

Yup, goneski. They're bowling very well here. Maybe a reminder that throwing it away when the going is easy isn't the best approach.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Two utterly utterly wasted reviews, great

England deserve to lose this.

 

[Chin Music]

Very poor test from Brook. Good bowling from Fernando but this should be a bit of a wake up call for rook.

What's up with him?

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Win viz has England at 74 still.

 

[GIMH]

Win viz has England at 74 still.

Well I doubt it will now
