*Official* Quarter Final 4 - Sri Lanka v England

[smash84]

Murali looking the worst of the lot so far

 

[Howe_zat]

Ooh, 8 runs off Murali's second over with minimal risk. Good stuff.

 

[JBH001]

Hmmm, it might be time to bring Herath back on for 2 - 3 overs.

**** me, Botham's annoying today

 

[BoyBrumby]

How are we feeling about Tremmers on this pitch?

Doesn't look his kind of track at all.

 

[Spark]

Nah they're only 2 down, that's really negative thinking. They should be (and now are) trying to push the ball into the gaps a little more, without trying to hit big boundaries or anything stupid.

TBH back then Bopara looked like getting out every second ball. Them playing Murali with comfort means that now, yeah, I can agree. Still shouldn't do anything too risky though.

 

[Stapel]

Good running !

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice running lads.

 

[fredfertang]

Would've been interesting certainly, but we can't really expect him to come straight off the plane and into the stadium against a top team on their own turf. May have gone horribly wrong anyway. Colly's bowling would've been much more effective than Wright's too.

Can't use the "might go horribly wrong" line forever - anyway I'm sure someone once told me all Yorkies are superhuman - can't remember who now though.......................

Depends if the bounce gets more uneven i guess. All bowling will be very difficult to play if the bounce gets more dodgy. Especially if we get 230ish.

Cpt Obvious but they will be seriously missing Broad. Would be like a fish taking to water on this.

Yeah, he's being particularly botham-esque.

We seem to be picking up a few more singles now even with our parlous running.

Only in Tests ftr.

 

[Stapel]

OK...., I play in the lowest possible competition..., in HOLLAND! And even we run more sensibly!

What is so hard to understand about: "run the first one hard and look for the 2nd?"

Would prefer Colly's bowling here, think it would be ideal. His knee may be a problem though. Who knows though Tremlett bowls wicket-taking balls, so we'll see.

Looking at the three possibles (Tremmers, Jimmeh and Dernbach) I'd have the big fella in the bronze looking horses-for-courses.

Says how far Anderson's star has fallen in such a short time he didn't get the nod.

Escapes Shane Watson tbh.

 

[JBH001]

Herath from Murali's end please, Sanga.

 

[fredfertang]

I hope the umpires are going to be consistent with this reluctance to call wides

Pat Symcox says take more singles.
