This is now SL's highest follow-on century ever:

Already making history this kid.

 

[straw man]

Really don't want to have to chase anything over 120. Even 150 gives SL a tiny chance of a win, which is galling after the first day and a half of this match.

This is hard work for our bowlers. Karunaratne a chance to bat through the day here. Has been very good.

 

[Hurricane]

Inside edges missing the stumps. Catches brushing finger tips. The only thing we are missing is a wicket off a no ball.

 

[Maximas]

ah **** that could be the game

 

[Maximas]

****ing good innings though, could be a watershed moment for him hopefully, opening partnership looks good for the future now

 

[viriya]

Nice one to get him out.. Great knock.

This might open the floodgates.. I just can't get over this team selection sigh.

 

[straw man]

Yeheessss!!

 

[Hurricane]

Yes great ball

 

[Maximas]

This might open the floodgates.. I just can't get over this team selection sigh.

Yeah it's a disgrace, not backing Dickwella here at all

 

[BeeGee]

Outstanding innings,

 

[straw man]

Fantastic over and pace for someone who's bowled 37 overs this innings plus the previous.

363 balls for Karunaratne too, huge concentration.

 

[Hurricane]

Boult gave him that single

 

[Maximas]

Yeah, just not a test standard batsman

 

[straw man]

Looked only a matter of time for Dickwella.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah it's a disgrace, not backing Dickwella here at all

Yeah Chandiguns everyday of the week.

 

[Prince EWS]

I can understand why they might have wanted to drop Chandimal but what I don't get is why it was Dickwell they decided to pick in his place.

 

[Maximas]

Is this really happening? A nightwatchman comes in for PJ??? What a laugh

And he goes for the drive first ball...

Good lord

 

[Maximas]

I can understand why they might have wanted to drop Chandimal but what I don't get is why it was Dickwell they decided to pick in his place.

Must have been that warm-up game, but still

 

[Hurricane]

Boult gave him that single

Paid off next ball too

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That was an awful innings from Dickwella. Faced some good bowling though - shows how well Karunaratna had played really.
