**Official** Sri Lanka in England / Scotland - 2011

[GIMH]

EWS said something along the lines of, that he emailed Sky and that Atherton commented he'd read his posts on CW (poor bloke)

Unfortunately he never commented on being put on a pedestal with Hayden by other posters

Anyway, looking through the thread, laughing at people moaning about us only taking 5 wickets in one session. Come on.

 

[Spikey]

guys guys let's focus on the important matter


broad is a ****ing **** ****

Don't think Lakkers fancied facing the big fella much.

I dont think I would either. I know people dont put much stock in my opinions on 'muscular cricket' but he is an intimidating unit.

 

[Daemon]

Haha, I've always wondered if any international cricketers lurked CW.

Yeah if I were an international player i'd be constantly googling myself to see what people think about me

Can I please pick the Sri Lankan team FFS.

Chandimal averages 100 odd in FC. Thurshara and Kulasekera may not be any special but at least they will average around 40 in Tests and both can bat. Give Randiv a run or try or get Mendis back in form by playing him. Hearth only good in Sri Lanka.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, it seems Randiv has systematically slept with all the selectors' wives. Pick him FFS. He even did well recently on the tour match against Essex.

Is he a bowler or a batsman?

Southerners, weather update ASAP

Southerners, weather update ASAP

It's fine here, few clouds but mild.

Guess I'm 140 miles from Southampton tho, so not much help.

 

[keeper]

I'm in the Midlands now but it looks like it's been fairly dry for a few hours. Best guess - showers on the way so on and off until late pm when we might have an extended evening session.

Probably not the consistent, steady and dangerous rain of yesterday but more sporadic stuff that, while having it's moments, is unlikely to impact the game too much. If the rain was like Chris Tremlett yesterday it will be more like Stuart Broad today.

 

[GIMH]

Closer than me though.

Was blue sky when I woke up, then it started pissing down. Clearing up again now. Strange old day ahead.

 

[four_or_six]

Lovely sunshine after rain day here. Again, I'm not Southampton-south though.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

My dad is there says it is lovely but a bit blustery there. Should be ok for a bit.

 

[GIMH]

Just started raining. Looks like it will pass quickly though.

 

[Furball]

Can we not cancel the ODIs and play another Test? This series has been a huge anti-climax.

Seconded. Happy to avoid another set of 50 over drubbings from SL.

 

[GIMH]

Fancy us in the ODIs actually

Fancy us in the ODIs actually

Couldn't care less about them to be honest.

 

[TopCat]

Play is finally about to start.

Tremlett to wrap it up in the next four balls?

Good start.
