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

[vcs]

Sri Lanka always pull it together in the one-dayers. Chandimal looks a quality prospect.

 

[MW1304]

Swann is just so cool.

 

[Borges]

Good heavens! Sri Lanka, once again wiping the floor with England. In England.

Before the series started, I wouldn't have predicted anything close to this.

Chandimal is cashing in on his let-off.

Anyway, I'm on the verge of throwing in the towel on the hunt for a one-day keeper who can open. I've said it's worth sticking with CK because if it works it'll solve our no.1 problem, but it's really looking like slim odds right now.

What exactly did Steve Davies do wrong? At least he can rotate the strike. CK is boundary dot dot dot dot dot dot dot boundary out.

I think he hasn't made many runs this season, and Kieswetter had.

No way can we have Davies, he's not dynamic enough behind the stumps. He only finished 12th in an inter-county keeper shouting competition, whereas Kieswetter placed a respectable 3rd. Unfortunately, despite the clear batting ability he possesses, a decibel level of 70 isn't high enough.

Matt Prior won it btw.

Matt Prior won it btw.

I don't know why Prior was dropped for the ODIs, he scores more quickly than most of the team which is out there today, and has made himself into a very good 'keeper.

Because he's a ****house ODI batsman.

 

[marc71178]

I don't know why Prior was ever called back up to be honest, was ridiculous. Bring Davies back in for CK, and I would also be ditching Dernbach for Collingwood.

 

[keeper]

Great times to be an English cricket supporter.

If you can get selected for England by a) shouting loud and b) not going to the IPL then there's hope for all of us.

For what it's worth I think Davis was harshly treated but would give Kieswetter an extended run now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

This is one of the more surreal passages of play I've seen.

Ton for Chandimal would be nice and all, but bloody hell.

 

[Lostman]

This is ****ing disgraceful, its and embarrement and insulting an opponent.

 

[Lostman]

Really pathetic this.

E- This is all on Mathews.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dilshan doing his nut and rightly so. Mathews has just dead batted a maiden. In the 47th over.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha. Well, brings it up in the grand manner.

Madness tho.

 

[Daemon]

Haha six! WAG

 

[Bun]

haha bloody ****ing yeah chandi!!!!!

much sand in the vag for the commies... there was a hundred for the taking, and angelo had the ummense confidence to back this up...

just so cat n mouse....

 

[Lostman]

Nice innings and all, but the last 5 overs are nothing short of shocking.

England should have just sent down 5 wides down the leg side.

 

[_Ed_]

Great way to bring up the ton in the end, and it has been a very good innings.

Mathews 1* (20). Unbelievable.
