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

[Cevno]

**** me, can all this crap be moved to another thread, I suggest it be called "****ing tedious meandering points about spinners based on an innocuous remark."

You missed the other 25 page thread about a innocuous reply to a question?

Nice hundred for Mahela!

SL has lost only one ODI when MJ made a hundred. I cant remember that innings/game very well, must have been a long time ago

It was the world cup final

 

[superkingdave]

Looks like a very flat pitch we are wasting this powerplay on.

 

[Uppercut]

Kulasekara's found the spot to bowl to Cook. It's been ages since someone's found it.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well that was a monumentally terrible innings.

 

[hazsa19]

inb4 the inevitable whinging regarding Trotts SR

 

[Uppercut]

Kulasekara's found the spot to bowl to Cook. It's been ages since someone's found it.

And duly gets the edge. Shelled though.

Haha and he misses again! Kula's all over Cook.

 

[Spark]

Tsk tsk tsk Mahela. Going to ground so early is a surefire recipe for a clanger.

 

[hazsa19]

I bet this ODI series puts Trott and Cook out of form, just in time for the Indians.

 

[MW1304]

There you go, Cook flirting with a ball outside off-stump, which he probs wouldn't have done in the tests. It's happening...

 

[Bun]

it's a ****ing joke that broad was fined only fifty percent of his match fee, when that was the exact punishment last time too...

 

[Spark]

Good to see Trott appreciates the importance of strike rotation in one-day cricket.

EDIT: I propose that we ban all talk of Cook's strike rate whilst Trott is scoring at the rate he does.

EDIT2: Indeed.

What did he do?

I'm just pleased he got fined at all. He gets away with all sorts most of the time.

 

[Spark]

What did he do?

Said something nasty to Billy.

E: Strike rotation not something England understand particularly well, it seems.

 

[hazsa19]

'Powerplay'

 

[The_roc]

What did he do?

Broad chucks down a straightish delivery
Batsman misses it
Ball cannons into pad
Broad meanders down the pitch twirling finger in the air, assuming it is plumb
Somebody eventuallt decides to appeal
Billy gives it not out
Broad gives Billy a volley of verbals
Replay shows Billy was correct

Don't fine him, ban the petulant little ****. Test match wickets are costing 36 a time, why is he in the team?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good over for the great man; 13 off it. Needs to make an attractive cameo into a substantial innings now tho.

 

[The_roc]

Pietersen becomes the second England batsman to find the boundary. Shame it took 11 overs.

 

[MW1304]

Vital point in the match this. KP going but cannot get out now.
