England vs SL 2nd Test Sponsored by Marcus Trescothick's Cricket Coach

[Sureshot]

Sussex v Sri Lankans

Samaraweera has again scored a 100, so this means he in form but when i pick him, he makes a duck.

Don't take too much from it.

That Sussex side has 4 of our regular 11 this season.

Here is the squad for 2nd Test. It's the same as the 1st Test.

Harmison omitted from England squad

i expected that, thats why i chose almost the same side as in the previous game...

 

[Sureshot]

Be careful lads.

If it is sunshine for the next few days (not likely) the Edgbaston will turn (it has done for quite a while, probably second biggest turner in England after Old Trafford).

Surprise could be of a Loudon late entry.

Sanath Jayasuriya is not playing (check cricinfo). And also don't you think it's a bit risky not choosing any Sri Lankan batsmen.

It looks like another very strong turnout for this match. There are 81 registered users with over 8 hours to go. It's gonna make winning very hard unfortunately

I hear there is rain which should delay the start of play. Not exactly what I wanted as I need the SL starting 11.

 

[sid_19840]

I heard the same,infact some say that the game may we washed out in all 5 days,hopefully that doesnt happen.Also seems to be a strong likelihood that Malinga might play,lets see if that does happen.

 

[puddleduck]

It is expected to rain most of the time until Saturday, and hopefully from Saturday onwards will begin to pick up... hopefully.

 

[Englishandproud]

No rain today in Birmingham, all down South, but the rest of the four days will be affected, except maybe for Saturday.

 

[aussie1st]

I would say we should get a result. Weather forecasters have been all over the place lately. I certainly don't trust in them.

Haha what a classic, Upul out for a duck and I captained him

 

[ZexyZahid]

I don't have Tharanga, so that's good news for me.

There are 91 registered players now. It's going to be tough to win this one.
