4th ODI Sri Lanka V England

[larus]

Why, oh why do you do it to yourselves. Spending hours watching a team get totally outclassed by the opposition. I suppose we can hope that they at least try to compete for a change.

Sidebottom's giving absolutely nothing away today. Tighter than a, well...you know
9.2 Sidebottom to Sangakkara, no run, Sangakarra shuffles across to defend
9.1 Sidebottom to Sangakkara, no run, another cracking ball on off stump, threatening to cut away. It's

KP is shit he never scores runs

20/3

Jayawardena OUT

A cat playing with a mouse. That's all. It's humiliating really, when the opposition have to let us stay in the game, so as not to beat us too badly.

20/3

Jayawardena OUT

sounds a bit lucky - caught at third man...

this is going to be embarrassing when we can't chase even a low total

 

[CHAPPERS]

These Sri Lankans are clever, getting Silva in this early is a masterstroke.

 

[larus]

They're so bloody confident. Taking it nice and easy at first to get to 40/3 off 17.4 Ovs. That's what I like, a team that want to give us a chance.

and the ODI specialists cruise serenely onwards...

England need 212 @ 4.24

England need 212 @ 4.24

yeah right

 

[Just Curious]

I'm very confident we're going to win this. Reckon Bell's gonna take at least a half century.

 

[Uncle Buck]

35-1 off 9.

 

[Common as Mook]

Mustard gone cheaply AGAIN. I wonder if he'll get the same amount of stick as Prior? Especially as he dropped Sangakaara in the second ODI......

 

[keaton]

I wonder if Gooch or anyone else will question Mustard's place in the team, he's only averaging about a half a run more than Prior at the mo

Fixtures!

 

[Uncle Buck]

Keep it up Mustard. Prior gets a central contract in April, Sussex get to play their best keeper and have money for an extra player as we are not paying Prior.

84-2

Bell out for 25

 

[REDLAND]

Rain stops play! Well, they were threatening a monsoon, and here it is. It's an total deluge, and the covers are on in an instant.

And, what do you know, England have just crept past the minimum requirement of 20 overs, so if there is no more play, England will be victorious by 14 runs on Duckworth/Lewis.
