Frustrated Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Even the 3rd string Lankan bowling attack has been able to put the Eng batters in deep trouble. Link to comment

Hapless Lankans did beat the pulp out of Indian in the ODI series recently. What does money have to do with talent? If that were the case, India would be winning everything in Cricket.

Lone Wolf Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 There were some unlucky dismissals for Lankans especially Chandimal one... Poms got the rub of the green in this game so far. Link to comment

Kohli was leading by 2-1 the last time he toured England. All Hail ! Still remember the Oval match where his leadership won us the match. Edited August 22 by Adamant Frustrated 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Without Stokes we have to see how England plays. He gave.them a mental edge. This team looks more like.pre-stokes captaincy where they play conservatively and perish. Absence of Stokes means their tail becomes longer. No crawley either Link to comment
Frustrated Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 M Wood is the only batter in the english line up who knows how to execute bazball irrespective of the situation & the pitch. Link to comment
rageaddict Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 17.2 Mark Wood to Chandimal, no run, 143kph, short and quick on off, sharp bounce as Chandimal gets hit on the thumb. He immediately calls for the physio. It looks like Chandimal's index finger and thumb are in pain. We have a slight delay as the batter is having a chat with the physio. His thumb is slowly swelling and the batsman is walking off the field. Hopefully that isn't a serious injury. Wood's pace and bounce can be brutal at times. The batsman is retired hurt and walking back to the pavilion as the Sri Lankan captain enters the field Wood injures Chandimal, retired hurt. Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Such a slow outfield. Woods pace forces Chandimal to retire hurt. Link to comment

He is getting lot of coaching from clouderson on the boundary. Broad is a natural as a commentator. Frustrated 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 England batting is very light weight with mo crawley and Stokes..slightly longish tail and a noob keeper. They still got the lead. Link to comment
