*Official* Match 3 - Sri Lanka v Canada

[Blaze 18]

Not quite as disturbing as when, you can't find no one older than you playing international cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Neither is as disturbing as rocking up to play a game and finding you're playing against the son of someone you played against in your first few years of senior cricket.

 

[_Ed_]

Vaguely competitive match, please.

 

[Jono]

Get Tharanga out early. cbf watching him ton up

 

[NUFAN]

Vaguely competitive match, please.

At least the game is going to last at least 60 overs now that Sri Lanka has won the toss.

From a draft perspective I want to see a massive opening partnership from Dilshan and Tharanga!

 

[BoyBrumby]

That Sri Lankan anthem just keeps on going, eh? Ours might be a dirge but at least it doesn't outstay its welcome.

'Mon you Canucks.

Malinga isn't playing There goes my points for the various fantasy leagues AND the predictions thread

 

[Burgey]

How can there be a massive sightscreen related delay at the start of play?

See this **** happen from time to time all over the place. Can never understand how it can happen before a ****in ball is bowled. Dire.

 

[Daemon]

Whoa! Just saw this kid in the kenyan team. 16 years old and looks it too.

Nick name of Tendulkar too.

*canadian

must be really talented but still looks like its way too early for him

 

[Prad100w]

Looking forward to see Rizwan Cheema bat in the second session.

Yeah had to sub Malinga out of my cricinfo fantasy team last minute. Really want to win that **** this year. It requires basically changing captain and players every match. Surely there aren't many people as sad and nerdy as me to do it to try and win. People will lose patience eventually.

I will win this war of attrition!

 

[_Ed_]

Now the music won't stop. ****ing ridiculous start.

 

[Burgey]

Finally a start.

Memo to the officials. When it's a one day game and you stand next to the sight screen in a white shirt, play won't start.

FMD.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez Dilshan & Tharanga will fancy this fella. Slow medium at best.

 

[Prince EWS]

Jeez Dilshan & Tharanga will fancy this fella. Slow medium at best.

He seems a fair bit quicker in his second over than he did in his first, but he's bowling everywhere now. He was apparently genuinely quick in his younger days, playing in Pakistan.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I reckon if this Osinde lad ran through properly he has another yard to gain. I'm treating the speed guns with skepticism, but he's hitting 80mph and looks to be jogging up.

He reminds me of a lethargic Daren Powell. Extremely similar action; doesn't get anywhere near the momentum through the crease though.

Nice ground, this.

Great diving stop there.

Good shout. Definitely has Powell's elbows when he starts the run and the straight-armed gather is similar too.

Even Powell doesn't cramp up after 13 legal deliveries tho. FFS.

EDIT: Seems I was harsh, actually. Hammy gone I think. Apologies to the boy.

Nice ground, this.

It is, yes. Very pretty. V attractive stand and I'm a sucker for grass banks too.
