Sri Lanka v England WC Quarter-Final - Columbo

[Finch]

You guys sound like me about this time yesterday, things can turn very quickly.

 

[Sargey]

Why do we keep picking Bopara ffs?? not international class though i would love him to make me eat my words and get a ton!!!

Watching on a crap stream from France.
Is the crowd overly loud today, making it hard to hear the commentators, or is that just my stream?

Need to find a better one before the football later!

 

[CHAPPERS]

220+ good score here. These two don't need to do anything else for a while. Swann needs a big game today.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

89/2 at the half way stage of an innings against a team like Sri Lanka is simply not good enough.

Have you not looked at sri lankas one day record ?

 

[Beach Hut]

SL have a very fragile middle order

 

[clarkey]

Encouraging signs here from 'Englishmen' Morgan and Trott. With SL's dodgy middle/lower order, batting under lights, dont underestimate how hard chasing a 230/240 could be. If these two stay in for a bit, and Prior/Wright/Bresnan have a bit of a swing we could be looking at a touch more than that too.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Trott is my hero.

 

[Everest]

I think they need some catching practice.

Mrilithertheanitheran is livid.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Ha! They kep dropping Morgan!

 

[Finch]

lol Sri Lanka are blowing this.

 

[Beach Hut]

How many dropped catches - appalling fielding

 

[Beach Hut]

Murri will blow a gasket in a minute

 

[Finch]

I would have taken the powerplay at 40. They either bowl Malinga and use him up, which mean even if they get a few wickets, the lower order doesn't have to hit Malinga in the death. Or they save Malinga and you have a good shot at picking up some good runs in the powerplay.

 

[pasty]

I still fail to see how Malingas action is legal.

 

[Everest]

That was lucky.
Morgan could have played on with his bat!
Or would it be hit wicket?

 

[pasty]

Morgans luck runs out

 

[vulture]

poor shot by swann out 1st ball

 

[Beach Hut]

WTF is Swann playing at - idiot has thrown his wicket
