Eng v S.L [3rd test] - Trent Bridge

[Amjid Javed]

partnership 37 (39)

2nd highest of the inns.

 

[zaf1986]

His highest first class score is 39 not out - can he beat it?

 

[Big Mac]

Previous best was the 9 he made on debut, batted for over an hour against India to help Colly get to his century

 

[James]

If the rest of our guys had played like the last pair we would have so won this game!

Defeat doesnt seem as bad as usual when Monty is hitting out at the end. I was actually laughing when he got the six!

 

[Easa]

Great commentary!

67.4 Muralitharan to Panesar, SIX!!, tossed up, Panesar down on his knees again, smashes it over deep square leg, he is becoming a hero, the crowd finding something to cheer for

) ) loving it!

 

[Amjid Javed]

monty gone lbw!

sri lanka win.

 

[Big Mac]

All over, Monty so brave :*)

 

[James]

That's it! A 134 win victory. Nice to see Jaya get the last wicket in possibly his last game.

Well played Lankans, a dramatic day with something for everyone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Monty should get man of match for his all round efforts.

 

[Easa]

Ahaha, the fun ends.

Monty departs, time to remark on an absolutely magnificent bowling performance by Murali.

M Muralitharan  	30-10-70-8

dont get puzzled!!! thats the dot balls in indian innings at IND vs WI


India Hardly needs Monty007

 

[kablooee87]

That was good stuff. The crowd got something to cheer for after knowing they would lose.

 

[Rob H]

Great performance by Murali. He is a genius. We stood no chance against him as the batsman couldnt pick him. Sri Lanka deserved that 1-1 for capitalising on our mistakes. Our middle order once again though has failed. Bring back Vaughan asap! Good series finish off by the legend............... Monty Panesar. That cameo will live long in my mind. I hope he gets a One day call up now. He's bowled superbly.

Just out of curiosity, who do you think Vaughn should come back for? Has Cooke been mediocre enough to warrant being replaced. Or is Collingwood going to remain the whipping boy and be dropped?

 

[zaf1986]

Collingwood to go, Cook at 3, Vaughan at 4.

 

[Rob H]

Jones and Collingwood to be lambs. Read and Vaughan to come in.

 

[James]

For what reason would you play Cook? Colly adds more to the side, he has proven he is just as good at getting runs (no matter how much Christopher Martin-Jenkins blabs on about Cook's talent), and gives you a good fielding and bowling option.

 

[zaf1986]

Cook is a better player, think long term.

Collingwood is bits and pieces, wouldn't make the side as a pure bat.

 

[Rana]

lets hope danish can prove with the bat like monty and dazzel with the ball like murali!

 

[Hash]

A wicketless Murali over. If i was Indian i'd release a dvd.
