Lol.

Dire ball for a peg. Short, leg side pie smacked down Ravi's neck.

The ball can't help but be attracted to Ravi

Absolute peach from Gurney to Dilshan. What a nut!

Tredders seems to have grown a bit of a belly, wouldn't normally mention it, but it's a weighty issue with some of our spinners.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Risk free 10 off Tredders's first over. Classy batting, tbf.

Stepping up to eat Sammy's share of the pies, IMHO.

 

[BoyBrumby]

No third man is killing us here.

Gorge dab there. All touch.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tame end there.

 

[91Jmay]

If we are picking fat spinners I'd take Samit over Tredders.

 

[viriya]

i thought Root was that cute teenager who could bat.. when did he start opening the bowling in t20is?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Much better 2nd over from the apple-cheeked Bear there.

Still not a T20 bowler's bum tho, but.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, Chandimal spoons one straight to Hales. Root gets in on the act.

Sniff for the home side?

 

[viriya]

who did ian bell replace in the side?

Ali

 

[Howe_zat]

Aww, Joe Root's celebration

Does nothing to subvert the image of him as a 13 year old

 

[viriya]

doesn't seem like these new SL kids have much respect in whatever they're being offered..

 

[Howe_zat]

More Harry Gurney pls.

 

[Howe_zat]

Comms still talk about boundaries in T20 as though they're everything, but it's runs off every ball that kills you.

Woakes should not be in this team. Has no role in the attack.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Woakes consistently up over 85mph, but never seems to hurry a batsman. Needs to do more through the air.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Great stuff from Jorders. Boy has game.

 

[grecian]

Pretty good over from Jordan has to be said, showed a bit of nous which is handy in this game.
