[Cricket] Sri Lanka v England- 2nd Test Match- Galle 22-26.01.2020

[Willow]

Buttler a bit unlucky.....was playing well too.

A dubious decision, especially given the soft signal. It looked to have grounded from the side view. DRS guy doesn't fill me with confidence.

I thought the same.......wasn’t 100% convinced it wasn’t boot and ground, so soft signal of not out maybe should have stood but the experts seem to be happy with the decision

Poor Root he’s absolutely drained and still going, what a player.

 

[jakarta]

Root could and should play like this all the time, he'd be up there with Kohli and Williamson.

Overtaking some serious English Batsmen at present, don't suppose he will catch Cook but who knows?

 

[The Wizard]

Seeing Micky Arthur’s face every time there is a DRS review is doing my head in, he’s like a spoilt child and he clearly loves the airtime he’s being given. Wasn’t complaining about the dubious one earlier was he.

 

[The Wizard]

If only we had a spinner near this guys quality, some ball that was. Dozy batting from the England players though, it’s the same old, getting out stuck on the front foot against spinners. Every dismissal except Buttlers has been the same.

 

[jakarta]

The tail just needs to stick around, Root will make the runs. Having said that a 50 run deficit wouldn't be too tragic.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Life saver, this Test series. Keeps me sane.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Bess showing good attitude and technique.

 

[jakarta]

Sri Lanka getting ground down. Root 168.

 

[jakarta]

Root about to go past David Gower...

 

[The Wizard]

Embuldenya, what a fantastic bowler. The drift and spin he gets is vicious.

 

[jakarta]

Bess goes, full licence for Root to go for it now?

 

[The Wizard]

Mark Wood ya big donut

 

[jakarta]

Brainless from Wood...

 

[Steve in Japan]

Mark Wood massive brain fart.

 

[dazzer6666]

Wood is a known slogger - the brainless bit really was putting him in ahead of Leach with so little time left in the day.

 

[The Wizard]

What a horrible way for Root to get out

 

[Pevenseagull]

bugger

 

[jakarta]

Well they weren't going to bowl him out...
