***Official*** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2014

[YorksLanka]

Wow let off there for Mahela..straight down first's throat normally( well not throat but you know what I mean)

 

[91Jmay]

That could be the game. Unlucky been some great tight bowling from England.

 

[YorksLanka]

Well picked up lad!!now switch yer brain on and carry on..great catch in the crowd btw

 

[91Jmay]

Ravi Bopara on for Jordan please. Game starting to just drift a bit

 

[viriya]

About time for this pair to get on with it.

 

[YorksLanka]

No, they are going nicely, just keep ahead of the DL par..keep going boys...

 

[91Jmay]

Wicket in the next 20 or so runs or this one is over.

 

[viriya]

They should be looking for run-a-ball now.

 

[91Jmay]

Get Anderson on. Game is over in next 3 overs unless we get a couple of quick wickets.

 

[91Jmay]

****s sake. Didn't carry but Gurney ain't a very good fielder.

 

[YorksLanka]

Yes please get his overs done then we can see him off and pick the runs off the rest...

Haha this spirit of cricket BS just never dies, does it? Ridiculous of the crowd to boo Senanayake and predictably rubbish responses from former England players condemning the poor bloke. If anything, Senanayake upheld the spirit of the game and was an absolute gentleman for actually warning Buttler (and Jordan). OK, so they weren't really backing up that far, but serves Buttler right for being a dumb ****. You'd expect him to be a bit more careful after being warned of that exact thing mere minutes ago

Which former England players? Every one I've seen has backed it? Predictably pulling things out your arse again i see. Crowd also totally natural and correct to boo Senanayake. He has just removed England's best ODI bat? What do you want them to do, cheer? Well that would be silly, as the spirit of cricket is BS afterall.

 

[91Jmay]

That's a disgrace for Mahela. Absolute joke, you don't ****ing run the game.

 

[viriya]

I think he's talking about Michael Vaughan..

 

[91Jmay]

'players' ? Plural.

 

[91Jmay]

Thirimanne looks so much better in the middle order. Got a good technique and is composed, just can't handle Jimmy + the new ball.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Since 91jmay asked so politely, Michael Vaughan and Graeme Swann have already criticized Sena for the perfectly legitimate runout.

 

[viriya]

Mahela can complain - it's like when batsmen say light isn't good enough. Gamesmanship is not a disgrace. It's just gamesmanship.

Oh and Rikki Clarke chimes in

"That is absolute rubbish. Can't get Jos Buttler out normally so they have to do that "
