[dinu23]

lol at SP.

my sides to play in the first game

Sri Lanka; Tharanga, Jayasuriya, Sangakkara (wk), Jayawardene (c), Dilshan, Arnold, Kapudagera, Maharoof, Vaas, Zoysa, Murali

England: Strauss (c), Trescothick, Cook, Pietersen, Joyce, Collingwood, Jones, ani, mee, miny, mo

I'd bring in Ruchira instead of Zoysa.

Sri Lanka getting skittled by one of the worst bowling attacks in county cricket. Stupid Trent Bridge Mumbai minefield wannabe, grrrrr..

So Essex are now one of the worst bowling attacks in county cricket?

Bearing in mind they lost something like 1 OD game in 2005, that must make their batsmen Bradman-like.

If he turns out to be as successful as Vettori then he'll be England's finest spinner for many a year.

No, he won't.

Whine Scaly Whine. Someone please give him an award for being the biggest whinner on the Internet.

Unfortunately our weekly awards aren't allowed to add such things in.

Zoysa is not part of the ODI squad AFAIK .

England ODI players ani, mee, miny, mo could hold the key to this series !!

Matthew Wood doing Barney proud at Taunton, while Arul Suppiah shows that Malaysia v Sri Lanka A could be an interesting game.

Cracking innings of 116 from the lad.

White is in outstanding form, ridiculous. He doesn`t normally get many sixes, but he`s got approximately one million in his last five or so innings.

He's playing at Taunton, 10% of forward defences go for 6.

 

[Nate]

But he`s hitting sixes, so obviously, he should be in the Australian side. And then Ponting`s captaincy should be handed over. And we wouldn`t need a coach.

 

[JASON]

Sri Lankan openers Tharanga and Jayasuriya are still struggling to get among the runs .
Must be a concern.

For the 20/20 I hope they rest Murali and Vaas .

Anyone with at least one working brain cell can see Essex have a rubbish bowling attack. Does Somerset have great bowling/batting because they won the Twenty20 last season? Of course not.

He was pretty awesome. I blinked & he'd got his 50 Hildy played some cracking shots at the end.

If it is really that rubbish how did they become so unbeatable then?

If it were knockout there's a chance of luck, but over a league program of 13 wins and 1 defeat out of 16 games suggests otherwise.

I guess that is your latest pathetic attempt at an insult, claiming that I have no working brain cells...

Their FC bowling attack is pretty poor tbh, if it was any better they would have been promoted last year.

Their OD attack is decent, however they did have Kaneria last year.

Exactly... if you ignore the guys with trivial amounts of wickets they had no-one who averaged under 30 with the ball last season.

Hmmm, considering that White is the hardest hitting player in Victoria, I don't know...
