England v Sri Lanka 1st ODI ends in a tie

[marlonbrowndo]

What a game. Plunkett you beauty. [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] look at the top order score. Hence the importance of batting depth What a match

 

[Muhammad10]

Wow Plunkett!

Incredible match!

 

[Spookiewookie]

Neither team at their best - England below par (silly shots) however inspirational innings by Plunkett and a never say die attitude by England.

Good to see SL put in a good fight.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol that early celebration cost SL a win

 

[Markhor]

Superb finish. SL's death bowling was good but there was some sloppy fielding. Shouldn't have allowed them the third run off the penultimate ball.

 

[TestMatch]

lol. This is hilarious.

Hard luck Sri Lanka. You let your guard down.

 

[Markhor]

See how important batting depth is in ODIs. Incredible if England pull this off.

Compare their tail to our pathetic lower order who've choked on so many occasions in the past- our No 11s can hardly hold the bat let alone hit a six.

 

[Batman_DB]

haha lankans

 

[Smbhayi]

Btw what happened to Mathews?is he injured?

 

[ahsan17]

That last ball was really served up on a platter to be hit for 6.

 

[Major]

celebrated to early the Lankans

 

[The_Odd_One]

Did Buttler choke like AB?

 

[Spookiewookie]

Lankans at the moment

England

 

[The_Odd_One]

England have a T-1000 in Buttler. We have rubbish Sarfraz

Yeah, just like T-1000, Buttler was not able to finish the job.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yeah, just like T-1000, Buttler was not able to finish the job.

Lol they tied the game because of his great knock. You expect too much from people. Sarfraz wouldve made a 50 from 65 balls and his fans wouldve called him a lone warrior.

Came to bat at #6 and could not finish the job. Threw his wicket in T20 world cup final as well.

And England did not tie the game because of his knock, Plunkett did that. England was still over 60 runs short when Buttler departed.

 

[anuk]

Well that's disappointing.

I know. They have a completely different approach to LOIs.

I reckon we wouldn't have even run the 3 on the second last ball 9 out of 10 times, which is what kept the game alive in the first place.

 

[javiersuka]

Better game than the entire test series combined.

 

[The_KING]

Sri Lanka.

What a missed opportunity.
