WC2007: Super 8

[treva]

Out!
Freddie with a yorker to dismiss Chamara Silva :happy
230 looks probable...

has anyones skysports 1 cut off ? because mines just gone really slow then cut off to a black screen and hasnt came back, all the other channels work though

Mine's fine.

Freddie does the business again with one of his typical death deliveries. SHould be looking to keep them below 240, which will be a job well done aganst a very strong Sri Lankan batting line up.

235 a/o very good for England, Need the top order to get us to around 100-0/1 and give us a great chance!

Carn England

 

[ZexyZahid]

Sri Lanka reached 235. The fate of the match depends on how the top order of England will do.

 

[PhilD123]

Yep that was great death bowling from Freddie, Saj etc. We should be able to chase that down.

Anyhow in other news, Jon Lewis has gone back home after his wife had problems with pregnancy, Stuart Broad has replaced him.

That really was a good bowling display. It seems to be a pretty good pitch.
Ironically the ground actually suits the style of play England have been criticised for i.e. 1s and 2s rather than boundaries.
Everytime SL tried to hit over the top they found someone on the boundary.

It won't be easy for England, that's for sure

Let's face it, our top three have 1 ODI century between them...
(and two of them average under 30!)

Good thing the best ODI batsman in the world is at number 4

 

[cricket doctor]

Good thing the best ODI batsman in the world is at number 4

..and second best is at number 5.

 

[Sureshot]

We should do this, we are better chasers than target setters particularly with this top 3.

We miss Tres so much at the top don't we?

 

[Sagacious]

..and second best is at number 5.

Did you hire someone from Australia team

 

[PhilD123]

Vaughan goes cheaply again Hopefully thats just a sign of his bad form and not of how the innings is going to go.
