agreed they should have had a cpl of openers groomed by now for tests

[sm332]

SL 40/3 ... in deep trouble already after selecting to bat

[Cricketics]

he has played 2 year 2 many

he actually retired if u remember, reversed his decision later.. came back in 07 world cup then.. first he wasn't even a surety for that trmnt too

[sm332]

Hoggy gets another simply beautiful bowling ... nice curlers starting on off stump ... 42/4

[sm332]

make that 42/5 just awesome bowling allied with some pretty ordinary batting .. this innings maybe done prior to lunch at the rate that are going :eyedance:

[DesiChap]

42/6 Hoggy 4/18

[apocalypse]

42/6 Hoggy 4/18

5 not 6 down :D

[King]

Wow... Hoggy gets 4 already. This is awesome stuff. I'd want England to win this one just to ensure there is enough competition between teams irrespective of where they are playing. Zimbabwe beating West Indies was a good result too. Next thing I want India to beat the Aussies.:two_thumbs_up:

[chamatkar]

Hoggy has an average of 26 on the subcontinent (23 against India and now 21 against SL)... his skiddy swingy bowling seems to really do well on our pitches. That's compared to his overall avg of 30, which is spoiled only by his aus numbers (45)

[Dhoni's English]

94/5 a comeback on the cards for Lanka. I can smell with my spidy sixth sense that Monty is warming up raring to have a go at these two who are settling in a tad too nicely for my liking. C'mon Monty.

Aleem Dar just gave Sanga a life ... absolutely dead plumb ... no shot offered simple decision .. lets see how much this is going to cost the Poms

Why o why have we got two Paki umpires? Probably the country that hates us the most. It was the most simple decision ever to :finger:, yet it could be a turning point in the match. Why don't they have a match referee for umpires as well. Aleem Dar should have his match fee deducted for that.:mad:

[Dhoni's English]

And England's saviour strikes! 3 wickets for Monty. 183/8. Sangakkara still there though on 88.
