4th Match: England v Sri Lanka (Group B)

[Fatal Shot]

Lmao. This is great. I love how everyone was bashing Pakistan for not winning easily, but SL will have to play well to score 200. Especially with the size of their tail. Shows the talent of Akmal I guess. I want to see SA play on this pitch. Kallis and De Villiers are in fine form, so it will be great to see how they will handle the conditions.

I've got to say, I did have a feeling it wouldn't be a walk in the park.

Sanga has to bat all the way till the end

 

[Amiya]

Sri Lanka had already lost two wickets. Anderson and Onions are bowling well and the pitch is helping them too.
EDIT - Jayawardene gone. Beauty from Anderson.

167 all out. Yep, I'm giving an exact number. (I expect it too be lower though) Swann shouldn't have played. I would have gone in with 4 seamers.

You can attribute the pitch to helping England's cause here. The Sri Lankan batsmen have no idea how to play the ball at the moment, doesn't surprise me though.

Anderson picks up another wicket, Sri Lanka are in a little trouble here.

Interesting to note the speeds here. In England Onions was around 145K's for the most part, but he's only around 135K's here. Dodgy speed guns I say.

And Dilshan's out. Game on.

Sri Lanka looking a totally different side when the wicket has something in it for the seamers. I`m also pleasantly surprised by the intensity that England have shown so far and Iam quite enjoying the attacking fields they`ve set.

I hope England just carry on with the good work and win this one to just open up the group totally. Just what the tournament needs.

Sanga gone as well.
Shock for Lankans!

 

[Fatal Shot]

Nice shot Sangakarra

 

[Ari]

I hope the pitch is this green when we play Sri Lanka here Bond will destroy them.

 

[Howsie]

Sangakarra gone now also. Okay England might have a chance now This is New Zealand like (With the bat)

 

[Dong]

Wt the hell i turned off the Tv.........Sanga gone to...

 

[aditya123]

Where are all the Englishmen! Your team is on fire here ! Where was Onions during the ODIs in England!

 

[Fatal Shot]

New Zealands batting won't be much better... probably worse. Hell, I don't see England chasing anything around 160+
