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

[Pothas]

The declaration conversation between Botham and Strauss is so painful. Need to hear Strauss explain modern cricket to Beefy but he's a wilting flower in the commentary box.

Seems to have embraced the classic more aggressive in the box than they ever were in the field thing that commentators always seem to do. Was no need to 'hit out or get out' as he just said, there has quite obviously been nothing wrong with what England have done after lunch.

Jimmy reverse sweeping for four is pretty damn faptastic

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Jimmeh with a ***y reverse.

Best shot in cricket tbh.

 

[Furball]

Love me a Jimmeh reverse sweep. First bit of cricket I've seen as well

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Haha, takes the piss when Jimmy is reverse sweeping you for four.

I'm sure this has been asked a few times already,

For the Australian posters; Why aren't Foxsports showing this series? They usually always show the test matches being played in England. It's bloody annoying, that's for sure.

Probably decided after the last series we played that we are so bad that we aren't worth showing.

Bounced outside leg? Looked stone dead to me.

miles outside. I am **** at this

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Surely pitched outside leg

Tonight we have World Cup, Union, League, AFL, Hockey, and huge number of dodgy movies so no reason to pay for the satellite

 

[GIMH]

Rooooooootttt

 

[Pothas]

Really well played, has never looked in any trouble at all.

When was the last double ton from an England player? It used to be a very rare event then we got quite a spate of them.

KP or Bell vs India seems to come to mind

 

[Howe_zat]

well paced and near chanceless. joe root is not worse than county players in form

a good root hoot from the crowd

 

[King Pietersen]

ROOOOOOTTTT. What a magnificent innings, almost entirely faultless. Considering the pressure on his position, this has been superb. Brilliantly played.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah Bell 235 at the Oval. Cook and KP both got 190 in India though

 

[Spark]

Yeah I just couldn't remember if KP got a double in that Test as well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Just awful from SL. Being toothless is one thing, but they've leaked the runs so easily it's alarming.

It's all on Sanga imo, this series will be his final step to top tier ATG ness. If he produces the goods and tons up big they'll have a chance to save this. If he doesn't, they'll just get destroyed... And this is Mahela's last chance to prove he's not a tailender overseas, but I honestly have more faith in the other Jayawardene

 

[King Pietersen]

KP got one against India, but it came at Lords. 186 in Mumbai.
