Sri Lanka v England, 1st Test, Galle

[Digweeds Trousers]

A bit like Patsy Kensit this is still just about doable.

Ha!! LIke that!

 

[Arkwright]

My money is on Sri Lanka, however if we can get to say 250 for the loss of 4 / 5 wickets it will get nervy for both sides.

Time is on our side, NO daft shots please.

 

[pasty]

200 up - only 4 down....

 

[Simster]

220/4 now, England need 120 with 6 wickets left.

A bit like Patsy Kensit this is still just about doable.

But more likely to have an Eastenders ending, with us walking off the Square tragically

 

[pasty]

Well played Trotty Ton-up. 232/4, 108 to win

 

[Pantani]

Prior gone

 

[pasty]

Bugger - Prior gone. STOP PLAYING THE SWEEP SHOT EVERYONE FFS !!!!

233/5

 

[Simster]

Prior has loved that pre-meditated sweep. The twat.

107 more needed. Trott still in. This is turning into a great test match

107 more needed. Trott still in. This is turning into a great test match

Reckon Trott is going to have to bat through if we're going to pull this off

 

[Badger]

Come on tail, let's do a bit more wagging.

This, if Swann and Broad are in without Trott there they will end up trying to smash their way to victory and will probably fail.

 

[pasty]

Down to double figures to win now.....squeaky-bum time

99 required - 5 wickets down

 

[seagullondon]

Samit Patel is still a very good batsmen! Not quite a tailender

 

[CHAPPERS]

How long do you persist with Bell?

I am always inclined to stick with him but this run of form is HORRIBLE. Need the county season to start so that he can get some games when he is dropped, you can't find form when there are no matches to play when you are dropped.

Not long until the county season starts, 5th April I believe, so he can come straight back from Sri Lanka and start playing. I think you are correct though, that said he will probably smash a 200 in the next test.

What you go and say that for!

252/6 now

 

[Techno]

Another twist .... Patel gone.

As long as Trott stays I fancy us to do it, but it will need Broad and Swann to stick around and get 20 or so each.

252/6
