England in Sri Lanka

[Will_NA]

Exactly.

Darn him averaging 50

This series might end up like the India one, thanks to England's gutsy fightback. We need to demonstrate the same level of commitment in all the games.

It's chucking it down in Colombo for the fourth and fifth ODI's, which begs the question why are we playing cricket in the rainy season?

Also Sri Lanka have won the toss...no prizes for guessing what they did. 2-1 and the series could be over.

 

[Leicester Fox]

If this one isn't rained off. Will the weather be the same in the tests? I hope not, i don't mind having some ODI's ruined but the tests i actually like!

 

[Eddie]

Sri lanka 37-3 bating first..jayawardene and jayasuria both gone..ouch..

 

[King Pietersen]

Kudos to Kumar Sangakarra. He nicked it, no-one appealed and he just walked, cracking sportsmanship. England in control, need a few more wickets though. The rain delays are really helping England atm though.

 

[Eddie]

yeap i never seen that before..

fair enough walk, but when no one appeals.. thats amazing

 

[MasterBlaster76]

106-7 now, if we can knock them over for 150 or less, we'll be in good shape.

 

[Eddie]

more awesome bowling from swann..

3-12 off 4 overs..

Sri lanka in a real corner now at 106-7

typical england.. we have Sri lanka 118-8..and we let them off the hook..

we should have had them out for 130-140.. now they're heading for 160-170.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

And now it could cost us the game, as we're 6 down and still need 60 odd!

 

[Eddie]

to be honest we were coasting until shah lost his head..

now we are in trouble but we only have to bat out the overs..

BTW these pitches and lighting conidtions are a disaster for 1-day cricket..

 

[evertonfan]

I'm not worried, our two best batsmen are at the crease.

 

[Eddie]

well if swann wins this he is defo MOTM..lol

 

[evertonfan]

Kudos to Kumar Sangakarra. He nicked it, no-one appealed and he just walked, cracking sportsmanship.

I'd rather him not do that though. I don't approve of batsmen walking.

 

[Eddie]

10 overs 37 runs with 3 wkts..

that should be done in singles..
