What on earth has happened to Sri Lanka today, have they completely forgotten how to bat.

What on earth has happened to Sri Lanka today, have they completely forgotten how to bat.

if they had held their catches they'd have kept NZ to around 100. Phillips dropped twice - once on about 15. one of those games where just one batsman gets runs

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Watching South Africa v Pakistan don't think SA going to win need 43 off of 12 balls.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

They got nowhere near it lost by 33 runs.

Imran Khan has been shot whilst on a protest march in Pakistan. The ECB will be getting jitters over the tour next month now.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Brilliant catch by Livingstone but Sri Lanka going at 10 an over first 5.The spinners on now Rashid only goes for 2 in his first over.

Likely levels will increase in the next month

Got Trump levels of fanatics pretty sure he was done for some kind of corruption recently.

Whether its accurate .or not I heard the other evening the shooting was due to the noise the rally was causing.drowning out the call to prayer.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

England going well at the moment India 77-3 of 12 and Yadiv out. So far so good.

 

[chiefdave]

169 to win, definitely getable but enough that scoreboard pressure could come in to play.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

41 from 4 good start.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

It's gone very quite.Hope it stays that way.

 

[tisza]

Some batting performance so far

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Go on i'll tempt fate 'Were cruising.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Dropped catch rolls for four. Have the crowd gone home?

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Buttler & Hales have given them a mauling. Love it.

 

[Mcbean]

What an innings by both exemplary!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Easy easy

 

[Otis]

A lot closer than I thought it was going to be.

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

Wow! Think I’d better do some work now.

 

[tisza]

That was just carnage.

Weather forecast getting worse. Talk about it maybe even down to a small over game on Monday. Toss going to be crucial.

Probably not the best scheduling decision to have the World Cup during rainy season

 

[chiefdave]

The annoying thing is there's an indoor stadium that holds 47K less than 2 miles away from the MCG. If you're staging a World Cup in rainy season would you not have that on standby for the final?

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Hales would be caught off the roof, should be shifted to that venue

 

[chiefdave]

not looking good at all. if it was a test starting tomorrow you'd be looking at day 5 before any play was possible

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

C’mon!!!

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Curran!

 

[CCFCSteve]

Good start so far. Hope we keep it up.

 

[Mcbean]

Fantastic catch from Rashid - great start

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Great over Rashid

 

[CCFCSteve]

Amazing from Rashid. You beauty stokes !

 

[Mcbean]

Even better Stokes bounce

 

[chiefdave]

So far so good. Think there's about 10 England fans there and the rest of the crowd is Pakistan
