England - Sri Lanka 3rd test

[Scoffers]

Come on England, bowling carnage this afternoon please

 

[Dave the OAP]

TMS reckon Robinson has a fantastic set up at Sussex, citing the way they use Monty and the other three bowlers

 

[brightonmark1234]

why is broad getting the ball and why not tremlett

 

[simmo]

why is broad getting the ball and why not tremlett

Because Andrew Strauss has asked him to bowl.

 

[brightonmark1234]

broad can u pitch it up please and wot a rubbish second over .

 

[CHAPPERS]

There's a lesson for Broad, finally pitched one up and got an adge which only just beat the fielder.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i know simmo but can strauss ask him to pitch it up

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I can't quite get into this test series. I'm not sure why.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Another broken Sri Lankan finger by the look of it.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I can't quite get into this test series. I'm not sure why.

The weather, half empty provincial grounds and a Sri Lanka side in transition?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Tiny edge should see this given out....

 

[CHAPPERS]

Not out, which makes use of hot spot a nonsense.

 

[simmo]

That was weird on TMS, Tuffers said he's edged that (he was intimating a very faint mark) and then he said he won't give him out. What is that all about?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Snicko confirms edge.

He was given not out because there is no CLEAR evidence to overturn the decision of the umpire, even though hotspot shows contact.

 

[brightonmark1234]

havent made the most of the new ball thats just how i feel

 

[brightonmark1234]

need to bowl full and straight and make them play

 

[Uncle Buck]

havent made the most of the new ball thats just how i feel

After 5 or 6 overs the ball is still considered new.

 

[keaton]

With Sangakurra nn the first game Sky spent ages wondering if there was a hot spot on one of the reviews, when I thought it was blindingly obvious there was.
Maybe the see slightly different pictures to us or the brightness in the media centre's confuses them

 

[brightonmark1234]

rubbish start so far

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I was chatting to a guy at work the other day, turns out he's the brother of Farveez Maharoof, the Sri Lankan all rounder. He works as cabin crew for Emirates, and manages to arrange all his shifts so he can be pretty much wherever his brother is playing in the world at the time. Barely misses a Test Match.

Nice work if you can get it, eh?
