[Taybha]

Wrighty plays

 

[Flavor Flav]

S Broad, E Morgan, R Bopara, J Dernbach, C Kieswetter (wkt), M Lumb, S Patel, K Pietersen, G Swann, C Woakes, L Wright.

Interesting team selection, looks like Wright will bowl a few.

 

[vegster]

It will be nice to listen to top quality sport that contains no grunting

 

[Titanic]

Sri Lanka won the toss and inserted.

Lumb and Bedwetter to open for England.

 

[Gerbil]

No Bell?
Bold move from Broad!!

 

[Titanic]

Lumb

Swish and miss, swipe and miss,... heave... and skies it straight up in the air... and out. Brilliant

3-1 (1.3 overs)

 

[Taybha]

must have opted for bopara for his bowling as his one day batting stats are pants thus far , lumb hits the fan 3-1 after 1.3

 

[Pantani]

So Lumb and Bopara are better than Bell? Crazy decision.

 

[Titanic]

6-1 after 2 overs. Not the best of starts.

So Lumb and Bopara are better than Bell? Crazy decision.

Also crazy to have Banger in the commentary box after he destroyed our bowling last night.

 

[Titanic]

And Bedwetter follows with a horror shot.

12-2 (2.4 overs)

 

[Taybha]

oh dear keyshitter dobs one up 12-2 off 2.4

 

[Daffy Duck]

Why, oh why, did they put him in instead of Prior?

 

[Titanic]

Morgan shows them how to do it... straight 6 and 4... 12 off Lakmal's over.

24-2 (4 overs)

 

[Titanic]

KP nearly ran him out then... by half a pitch... lucky the keeper missed with his shy at the stumps.

 

[Titanic]

33-2 after the 6 over 'power play'.

 

[vegster]

Lucky the selectors picked an Irishman in case the opening Joburg Saffers holed out early.... when is the first English batsman in ?

Maybe its an Empire XI rather than England.

 

[Taybha]

Patel ?
