SL white ball tour of England 2026/27

[Nikhil_cric]

First T20I tonight at Southampton. 

 

SL have chosen to bowl first.  

 

Probably a poor decision with something like 10 matches won batting first here and only 4 won while chasing.

Massacre is going on

Classic road

[vvvslaxman]

These wickets are abomination. Shortened boundary. Ball absolutely just does nothing. Coming off nicely on to bat. Jos the boss keeps siwnging through the line, plays some tennis shots in between

[vvvslaxman]

That off side cut cum slash from standing position is such a natural shot for Brook. 

[The Realist]

Playing night cricket in Eng in mid-September.

 

Chasing every last $. Madness.

[vvvslaxman]

Nissanka has the best position to play pull shot. SMashed 88 mph bouncer into 10th row.

[vvvslaxman]

Better Business Beurau finished the job.  (Buttler, Brook, Baker). 13th win in a row against SL. England is still ranked 2 in T20I.

This is a unique ability of most sl batters,  they are v.good at hook/pull. They are able to pick the length early and has ability to play up and under.

 

Mahela was someone who tries to keep the ball down, but most sl batter like to play up and under kind of shot aiming for 6s.

Another one sided affair in T20s. Boring

This was a repeat of Southampton thrashing that was given to India as well in the final T20.

 

England look scary in T20s.  We were lucky get past them in Mumbai.  Baapu & Bumrah the saviour

Law of Bcciverages,string of consecutive poor T20 WCs needed to maintain the balance of nature,the hunger should revive again after decades of thirst from empty campaigns
