*Official* Group B Discussion - South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, England

[Naumaan]

by the way, it's group B section & right now it's england vs srilanka

 

[Zinzan]

Not really. I think Sri Lanka's batting has been worse than England's bowling has been good. They shouldn't be four down already.

Yup, but your point on their failure to adjust to tougher batting conditions is exactly what I was saying, although I'm suggesting it's quite common for them.

 

[kingkallis]

i don't want to be involved in any fight but u can do well specially when u pay to get pitches which are suited to you lol

Ahhhhhh dont be jealous!

 

[kingkallis]

Lady boy is leaking runs here...

This guy Samaraweera is in some top form...

 

[Naumaan]

Ahhhhhh dont be jealous!

oh c'mon not jealous, i would definately be happy if india play & wins against a top side here in wanderers

 

[Pratters]

As you said Naumaan, it is the Group B game going on. So let's concentrate on that every one.

 

[Zinzan]

and India wont win the tournament in all likelihood. With Sehwag and Yuvraj missing and Raina suspect against the short ball on any surface.

What no sufficient cover from the remaining 10 zillion people to choose from in India?

 

[Pratters]

They won't select Rohit Sharma.

 

[Zinzan]

As you said Naumaan, it is the Group B game going on. So let's concentrate on that every one.

That's a good point

 

[Zinzan]

Pretty average start this from Broad

 

[Naumaan]

i was thinking that when broad comes, he will take wickets
now i think Collingwood should be bowling

 

[Pratters]

Anderson is getting some serious swing.

 

[King Pietersen]

Very average bowling from Broad. Too short, can't get his line right and is negating any seam movement by bowling cross seam.

Sri Lanka to get 200 and bowl us out for 120.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah why can't Broad ****ing bowl full and straight. He did it once in life and won the Ashes for his team. Needs some serious spanking, the kid does.

 

[Zinzan]

Very average bowling from Broad. Too short, can't get his line right and is negating any seam movement by bowling cross seam.

England need to re-group in this drinks break, they only need 2 wickets to be into a damn long tail.

ESPN selling Audio coverage through Cricinfo I see, possibly why BBC don't have it.

Yup, no doubt they paid zillions for exclusive rights

 

[King Pietersen]

Did not deserve that wicket at all. Been awful bowling from England in the last half hour. Samaraweera should be annoyed with that, were runs to be had against that bowling.

 

[wpdavid]

WTF? I switch over to Derby - Essex for 5 minutes and miss two more wickets?


Let me know if you want me to do it again.

Now would be good.

Oh hang on, we've got the breakthrough.
Still don't fancy us chasing many against the SL attack though.

 

[Dissector]

Following this game online (on my phone); but it looks like good bowling conditions caught up with SL's batting which is quite fragile especially when you get Dilshan early.

And I can't see England losing this one unless there is an absolute trainwreck against Mendis.
