England price cannot go anywhere from here until we have had 5-6 overs of spin you would imagine.
|
|
By:
yep, different game now spinners on
|
|
By:
market sentiment levelling off a bit here now, crucial few overs coming up
|
|
By:
Having said that Lanka haven't won many matches in 2 years apart from away against the supposed 'deserving number one' . They will be feeling the pressure too here.
|
|
By:
Good start
|
|
By:
1.5 is back again
If you exclude Bangladesh, Eng have only won 2 overseas Test matches in the last 2 yrs. |
|
By:
won 3 in oz mate
|
|
By:
toe of bat on ground?
|
|
By:
clear clear edge
|
|
By:
clearly out imo
|
|
By:
ah yes my mistake...been a while since Eng have won an overseas Test vs SL. Not since the Atherton/Trescothick/Vaughan days
|
|
By:
yeah, looked out on replay
|
|
By:
herath to run riot again
![]() wicket in his second over |
|
By:
HTF can he give that out?
|
|
By:
Is there a point in having umpires these days, seems like they hardly ever get a call right and almost everything gets reviewed and overturned.
|
|
By:
Ump says he spotted a "deviation"
Oh really.. |
|
By:
come on lads, I'm no sri lankan but it was 100% edged
|
|
By:
clearly you havent been watching the umpiring in the oz/windies games biscuit
|
|
By:
trott dismissal gets funnier everytime
![]() |
|
By:
It is funny. But it is horrific cricket. Crap ball, worse shot and the keeper doesn't have the ball in his gloves so it should have been not out (poor umpiring)
|
|
By:
SL 1.35 seems a huge lump and leave to me. would be a truly remarkable chase if england pulled it off
|
|
By:
This is not really a ringing endorsement of the talented Randiv is it?
|
|
By:
he defo hit it nug, what's that about the keeper not catching the ball???
|
|
By:
im no cricket expert, but if this was a 50 day over match, odds would be around 8/11 and 1/1, why is 298 runs in 200 overs seem impossible, why not play like a 1 day match.
|
|
By:
i often think that, if it was a odi half these pies would be in the stands...
|
|
By:
wearing pitch, different fields, herath dont have to stop after 10 overs.
Would say that england did play spin better v pak in odis as were more positive so perhaps something in how approach should be here |
|
By:
try and put pressure back on bowlers, get jaya thinking about removing men close in.
easier said than done of course |
|
By:
Trott's first innings dismissal dougy. Keeper never had the ball in his gloves.
|
|
By:
just bat normal and hit the bad balls, but make sure when the bad balls come along they do put them away. Don't give your wicket away the key on tracks like this, especially against this bowling attack
|
|
By:
shocker from strauss
|
|
By:
england should ban the sweep ...
|
|
By:
vaughan seething on TMS
![]() |
|
By:
2 for herath
|
|
By:
Don't do that, what the f*ck was that???
|
|
By:
england should ban the sweep ...
|
|
By:
gsm if it was in any doubt to anyone
|
|
By:
england were doing fine, why did he feel he needed to do that FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
By:
Need a ton from one of these 2 now...
|
|
By:
For heavens sake - why the hell was that necessary. They have 120 overs to get these runs. Singles all the way. You DO NOT need to play brain dead shots like that. I would drop him for playing that shot.
|
|
By:
England batsmen just can't build innings against spin. Not mentally or technically strong enough.
