Sri Lanka in England/Netherlands

Only trouble with that is that Blackwell is injured and not likely to return to action until late August early september time.

I didn't know Blackwell was injured! The injury list keeps growing doesn't it? Maybe its an elaborate conspiracy to keep our players fit for the Ashes.

If Blackwell is injured then maybe Louden could have a go, or just don't play a spinner and use Pietersen instead!

Yeah i read about his injury in the paper i think, said he is unlikely to play again this season and is hoping to do some TV work over the summer.

Blackwell is out for the season.

It will be interesting to see thhe squad that is picked tommorow. I would put Loudon and Batty in as the spinners. Somehow I don't think Paenser will be picked, lol!

Also I would like to see Solanki given a chance to open the batting.

I would like to see England win and ODI without the ther team putting out a weakened team. I don't think wwe'll win the series, England are diabolical at ODI's.

Solanki has struggled for abit now in ODI however he ahs been going well on the county circuit this season.
Loudon would be in for me for Freddie and Panesar should also get a call up to see if he can make a one day player.

Sri Lanka have named their squad for the ODI series.

Sri Lanka: Mahela Jayawardene (captain), Kumar Sangakkara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Sanath Jayasuriya, Upul Tharanga, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Kapugedera, Russel Arnold, Farveez Maharoof, Chaminda Vaas, Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando, Ruchira Perera, Malinga Bandara.

Good to see Perera back from injury, he did really well over in Aus. Hopefully Arnold is used better this time round instead of moving him all over the place like has been done most of his career.

Fletcher will NOT pick Paenser as a one-day player. He cannot field.

Just thinking of who else their is out there to play international Cricket with Blackwell injured and Batty already had his chance, Loudon (if picked) cant have the burden of being the only spin-bowler in the squad, so this is perhaps why Panesar should be given a chance, is also able to bat when he puts his mind to it judging by his performance the other day.

Might not need it with the lack of Sri Lankan batting depth.

Some things come back to bite you in the arse hard!

The ODI vs Ireland, is this just on BBC2 Northern Ireland?

I don't think I can get that on NTL.

Only 1 misfield in the last 2 tests.

Super slogging at the end

 

[irottev]

Can't wait for the Twenty20. The ODI's also. Should be good.

That's right. If you're not in Ireland, the only way you can get it is on Sky.

I'm on NTL too, which annoys me, as they have BBC1 NI, why can't they have BBC2 NI?

 

[Sureshot]

It's ridiculous.

A channel I found was BBC2 England not the normall BBC2.

Might send them an E-Mail.

 

[James_W]

When is the ODI between Ireland and England?

Tuesday.

 

[Sureshot]

Ok, so you can't e-mail NTL unless you actually have an account number (my parents account)....hmmm.

Oh well, always stuck in the limelight of Sky.
