22nd Match - England v Sri Lanka

[Gnske]

These plucky underdogs are putting up one hell of a show

 

[viriya]

SL need to bring in Mathews here before this gets worse.

 

[NUFAN]

Can anyone provide a radio link to the match?

Yeah that would be great.

**** Warne, commentate on the actual game, not some pre-conceived idea on a particular player.

 

[grecian]

Don't think anyone is saying it would be a bad pick per se, I'm just always a tad annoyed about the blokes not getting picked immediately being considered geniuses.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hell of an effort.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bell actually has extreme variance in his tempo at the start. Today reminds me a bit of his century in the tri series where he hit loads of balls in the air early. Weird extremes from basically not bothering to try and keep shots down to playing like he did v Scotland on Monday.

 

[Howe_zat]

Only time for Bell to bat, this. Needs fifty before the twin-headed scimitar of third man and deep point destroys him

 

[viriya]

That looked like a great effort from Chandimal, but on replay looks like it should've been taken.

Never said Hales was a genius. Just worth a shot.

Malinga's yorkers are seriously on point. Mooen has done well not to get castled yet.

I commented before the replay. Should have been taken as should the 2nd one to Dilshan.

 

[Athlai]

Warne is terrible.

Shows he's in nick to have just been able to keep them out. Top over that and good batting despite not scoring till the last ball.

 

[Gnske]

Only two more overs of Warne lads, thank heavens

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is Warne and Knight the worst combination possible?

 

[grecian]

Never said Hales was a genius. Just worth a shot.

That isn't really the tone you started this discussion in though is it?

ho-hum maybe it was. I'm deffo going to start watching it when Jurassic Park ends on ITV2+1

BTW what is Warnie saying that is so annoying?

 

[GIMH]

Complete dominance from the world champs elect here

 

[YorksLanka]

Come on Angie, bowlers choosing that length isn't gonna produce a slip catch put him into short extra and cut off that run...

Poor commitment. Moeen is batting.

 

[Uppercut]

BTW what is Warnie saying that is so annoying?

Various nonsensical combinations of "being aggressive is good". Also I thought his assessment of the Sri Lankan drops was harsh.
