*Official* Quarter Final 4 - Sri Lanka v England

I hope the umpires are going to be consistent with this reluctance to call wides

Yeah, bet they aren't though.

Looking at the three possibles (Tremmers, Jimmeh and Dernbach) I'd have the big fella in the bronze looking horses-for-courses.

Says how far Anderson's star has fallen in such a short time he didn't get the nod.

Indeed. Thought he'd have been useful if he could get reverse on this.

 

[Borges]

Indeed. Thought he'd have been useful if he could get reverse on this.

The new ball usually swings here for about eight overs or so, under the lights.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Waste of a review, tbh

 

[JBH001]

Murali gets a wicket from nowhere in an ordinary spell.

Ah well, they all count. This might put some fizz back into his bowling too, he has looked sub-par today with the ball.

It's a shame the Sky multiscreen isn't on - they could have one camera roving round the crowd concentrating on picking out the attractive young ladies (of whom there seem to be quite a few) - it would keep us sad old men happy - and I dare say a few of you sad young 'uns as well

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice shot selection by Bopara, idiot.

 

[fredfertang]

What happened to the benefit of the doubt?

 

[pskov]

Why bother reviewing that? What a waste of time.

 

[Stapel]

When they referred, I thought he must have an edge on it! Why else would you refer that??? OTOH, Bopara consulted Trott. Not something you do if you got some bat on it?

Mystery referral....

 

[Spark]

So much for playing with a straight bat.

 

[Furball]

Why oh why do our batsmen insist on sweeping so much?

Should be fined £1,000 for every sweep shot they play.

 

[Uppercut]

The sweep was entirely unnecessary/a terrible idea, Murali was overpitching almost every ball.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Stating the obvious as it may be, but this is the game here.

One of these goes soon and I reckon it'll be red rover.

How can you say that with Luke Wright still to bat?

Yep, if one of these goes because we don't have a review left, I advocate stringing up Bopara, worst review ever.

I can't stand the bloke and seeing him waste reviews on pointless ones like that makes me dislike him even more.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Barbra Streisand.

 

[JBH001]

Murali is bowling a very full length here. I'm not entirely sure why. He isn't getting much turn from this wicket either.

 

[Howe_zat]

Jonathan Trott's crevat not getting enough attention imo. I love him more every day.
