Super Eight

[pup11]

50 for Jayawardene, almost at a strike-rate of 100.

 

[pup11]

Jayawardene gone, Collingwood strikes.

 

[grecian]

Not a bad come back by Monty, 6 runs off 2 overs. Good captaincy too, bringing him back after the wicket.

Colly strikes though, making nonsense of my earlier assertion that this wasn't his pitch. Well done.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Jayawardene gone, Collingwood strikes.

Liberal use of the word "strike", TBH. It's not like middle stump was uprooted, Jayawardene just hoofed it straight to a fielder...

 

[pup11]

Colly bowling well with a stiff neck.

300 looking out of reach now..but we will see

 

[The_Bunny]

Extras 1b, 5lb, 3nb, 1wd Total 10

 

[grecian]

Played Ian Bell

 

[The_Bunny]

England have only 10 Extra's and they have a direct hit run-out.......

 

[Lostman]

3 runs in the 45th over, pathetic batting

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Shades of this match?

 

[grecian]

It's been a very disciplined bowling performance from England, which is a bit of a surprise

 

[Scaly piscine]

Will be annoyed if there's much tap off these two, if there's ever two genuine batsmen you'd want to face at the death it'd be these two.

 

[grecian]

Nixon you git, I suppose the rickets stops him from closing his legs properly

 

[pup11]

Lack of a big hitter in the middle and lower order would always hurt SL against good teams.

 

[pup11]

Freddieeeee.... Silva gone, Freddie strikes.

 

[steds]

Fred's gun.

 

[grecian]

Okay Barney, can I say "Freddie strikes"

 

[Scaly piscine]

Kinda worried now Flintoff's gotten one of the batters out, someone like Vaas, Murali might well slog a few quickly compared to what's departed recently.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Lack of a big hitter in the middle and lower order would always hurt SL against good teams.

This, however, is England.
