[Cricket] 1st ODI: England v Sri Lanka

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I put a tenner on Joe Root to be top batsman in this one-day match. If there is no further play or the match is reduced to say 25 overs, do I get my money back or do I lose it? (struck with Coral). He'll be next at the crease when it stops raining.

Ah he was doing so well, he's reviewing it

Jordan monstering the ball. Still can't see this being a winning score though.

Sri Lanka will have a higher target than we set due to D/L so add about 35 to our score and you will get the Sri Lankan target in 39 overs.

Sky Sports just said Sri Lanka will be chasing 259 so only adds 12 runs


Pie THROWER goes for 18 off the last

 

[Hiney]

Great finishing.

60 off the last 4 overs

Target 259

Great six by Katie of the last ball

Can someone explain to me how Malinga's action is legal?

 

[pasty]

Did I just hear right on the telly, that's the first time ever Malinga the slinga has gone for more than 7 an over against England.

Can someone explain to me how Malinga's action is legal?

Something to do with the angle of his chucking arm. Still to this day I don't understand how it's deemed legal though.

 

[Beach Hut]

We have done well

Ah well, 12 free runs is better than nothing.

 

[Mackenzie]

Tufnell was dissing Jordan's batting on TMS, saying that #8 was a position too high for him.

38 off 13 soon had dear old Tuffers backtracking.

 

[Triggaaar]

Can someone explain to me how Malinga's action is legal?

Because his hand is above his elbow, and his arm isn't bent. It's not exactly an easy style to replicate, it just comes naturally to him.

 

[Beach Hut]

Rain delay

 

[Beach Hut]

Doing very well, shame it has been a bit stop start.

 

[Driver8]

Jordan MOM I would think.
