Sri Lanka in England/Netherlands

8 an over! I wouldn't fancy us to beat the Faroe Islands with dogmuck like this! I'm switching over to the WI vs India game now, this is pathetic.

Colly colly colly... 4 dot balls!

Why on earth is our almost part-time medium pace number 5 batsman being the most effective bowler? I say we give Bell and Trescothick a go!! Heck, maybe even Strauss can roll his arm over.

EDIT: Just call me Mystic Meg! Bell is bowling afterall! England are really desperate now.

Bells having a go now.. looks like the slower pace is doing better, which begs the question why aren't Loudon or Darlymple bowling?!?!

Which also begs this question; Do we have to bowl Mahmood?

England should definatley bring the spinners on. I hope Loudon can play a bit at this level, after his incredible 0 from 0 with the bat earlier.

Is that a dig at Loudon? Or just sarcasm in general?

Spinners are bowling well.

Dalrymple just had a very close lbw turned down.

It was a mix of saracasm and anger at England's poor perfromance, and not a dig at Loudon. England really have let everyone down today; do they not realise that they are the home side?

To be 3-0 down in a home series, against Sri Lanka is disgraceful. I'm not calling Sri Lanka a bad team, i'm just saying that there is no way that we should be letting them win like this.
 
It really is poor. Just bowl line and length will you? Christ why don't we just play Gough, now he can bowl, and he knows what to do.

It is just embarrising being 3-0 down at home to Sri Lanka, who with all due respect are not the greatest team are they? Even Harmision is bowling rubbish.

Got to give credit to Bell and our young spinners though.
