[vegster]

Patel does not seem to have gained much pace since his diet ?

 

[Dad 38]

bopra is just not good enough for this level of cricket.

 

[Taybha]

3 overs to go 119-5 cmon wrighty

 

[Dad 38]

125-6 slow bopra out playing a rubbish shot

 

[Titanic]

131-7 Wright holes out (18.8 overs).

Below par.

 

[Dad 38]

20 overs 136-9 very poor from england apart from morgan and kp

 

[Flavor Flav]

God knows how Patel and Bopara still make the England team, tried and tested failures.

 

[vegster]

As is tradition, we give the world a new game and have a head start on how to play it. But, almost immediately, the world learns how to play it better than us.

 

[matthew]

Malinga makes such a big difference to Sri Lanka

 

[vegster]

And so it begins.....and, it probably won't take long

 

[Titanic]

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

Sri Lanka 31-0 after 3 overs.
