Barstow against pace in that innings looked terrible

Ridiculous how there was talk in the media of root not being in the odi team last year.

Malinga looks like Malinga minus a yard of pace

 

[Daemon]

Malinga looks like Malinga minus a yard of pace

Looks like he's entering the 2nd trimester

 

[theegyptian]

1st bat of the tour for stokes and everyone below.

Root questionable fitness again?

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Root has a poor level of fitness.

 

[Daemon]

Shanaka bowls and bats an average of 12 balls per game, what's the point of the bloke honestly.

 

[fredfertang]

Moeen made to look a little foolish there

 

[Tom Flint]

Malinga looks like Malinga minus a yard of pace

Distinctly sharp - I'm looking forward to the Ashes now

 

[Starfighter]

I doubt he'd get in the XI, except with multiple injuries.

 

[theegyptian]

It's late 80s. He's got decent bounce though.

 

[Tom Flint]

Yeah from 86 to 89. Nothing over yet.

Sri Lanka embarrassing themselves here

 

[Borges]

Sri Lanka embarrassing themselves here

Woo! These guys are continuing with what they had left unfinished in the Asia Cup, aren't they?

 

[slippy888]

Sri Lanka cant seem to be able to play one day cricket they have had a terrible record last few years

 

[stumpski]

Did I hear right, there's a reserve day available? Didn't think they ever did that any more. How come there wasn't one for the first match?
