England v Sri Lanka

[butchy]

im gonna flip

 

[Billy the Fish]

Oh well, at least we've cleared out the dead wood, as long as KP doesn't throw his wicket away we've still got a chance

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

COME ON PIETERSON!!!!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Could all go a bit Frank Spencer

 

[rospants]

COME ON PIETERSON!!!!

oi, he's mine

 

[CHAPPERS]

f***ing pointless opening with those two. Useless tossers.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

At this point in Sri Lanka's innings they were 37-0 We are 17-2

It is a marathon not a sprint FFS

Not really. Test cricket is a marathon. If 20 20 is a sprint, this is more like the 1500 meters. If the top order takes forever to get started it puts too much pressure on the middle order.

Oh dear god Bell is in 9 from 19 balls

can see it happening again, he will be on 31 from 70 something balls then get out, and wasted a load of deliveries, meaning the rest of the team have to come in and up the run rate, getting out and the collapse happens

but then again, we could win with 6 overs to go

 

[London Calling]

Must drop Vaughan, let him get his form back elsewhere and to be honest, he is not actually much cop - at the best of times - at the one day game is he.

As he gets 4 runs (13 runs of 22 balls )

 

[Beach Hut]

And a monster 6

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

46-2 Pieterson has just got a 6

 

[Techno]

Super KP!!

 

[Mendoza]

13 off the over

 

[Beach Hut]

Lucky 4 - 50 up

 

[Mendoza]

Lucky 4 - 50 up

indeed it was bell, then promptly blocked the next 5 deliveries

 

[Phil B]

Bell 33 off 43 balls - thats more than 4 an over.

Doing a good job, we just need someone to stay there with Pietersen...

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

101-2

Bell could be out with a run-out
