*Official* England in Sri Lanka 2021

[DriveClub]

This is really starting to rag. 200 would be hard to chase down.

SL just need to get to around 150+ and it will be a difficult target to chase. It's spinning out of the stumps now, very hard to survive. Englands openers will do well to add 10.

I'm not listening to the commentary so I'm not sure what point they were trying to make with this, but Embu keeps himself much more classically side on for longer - should enable him to get more drift as long as he finishes his action properly.

 

[Tom Flint]

Great catch that come on leachy run through them

 

[Prince EWS]

Lanka gonna get rolled here.

 

[vcs]

Damn.. England are wrecking them.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha Chandimal decided it was too spicy obviously

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

That is reckless Chandimal.

 

[TT Boy]

Terrible from the captain. He was spooked. They had a good over and 20-30 runs from these two would see England sweat. They know how difficult it will be chasing here.

 

[Pratters]

What ails Lankan cricket? Oh dear.

 

[artvandalay]

lack of application from sl batsmen again. no interest in sticking it out there.

Dick and the n00b Mendis need to get them to 200 here. I would fancy England to chase anything below 200, SL have zero wicket-taking threat aside from Embuldeniya.

I wouldn't rule out embul bowling 40 overs unchanged tbh

Some giveaways here from SL

 

[Shri]

spinners who bowled on sticky wickets (uncovered pitches?) need to have their records taken away

no skill necessary other than pitching the ball on the pitch

 

[SeamUp]

180 would have been a tough chase but you got to question the wisdom of these Sri Lankan batsmen in the manner they giving their wickets away. If they lose this poorly then a lot of questions need to be asked.

 

[Adders]

How you guys in Australia watching? It's not on Kayo so I assume not on foxtel?

 

[DriveClub]

You'd think this is the last pair with any batting capability

 

[Prince EWS]

Chandimal should just never be allowed to be captain tbh. I know Karuna is injured right now but the only thing captaincy ever achieves for Chandiguns is getting him dropped.

Mathews should have filled in instead - uninspiring but at least it doesn't make him lose his mind.

 

[Gnske]

Is Andrew Fernando going to write another terrible article about how fun Dickwella is after that?

Lakmal is another one with captaincy experience. SL is like Pakistan anyone whos played x amount of games becomes a temporary captain
