Channel 9 bought the rights but aren't showing it.
Same with 10 and the IPL

A walk in the park of England. Too much quality for the ICC events bullies. Sri Lanka are nothing more than glorified minnows in bilaterals.

Mamoo Sri Lanka was the last team to beat aussies away, which most other so called big team couldn't achieve, how can you say sri lanka can't beat this demoralized pom's team?

When Australia rested so many players that Channel 9 went around telling everyone how bad the team was and that the selected players belonged in mcdonalds flipping burgers?

Doesn't mean anything. We beat SA in SA but we are still a mediocre and average team.

Hopefully they cave in and show the indian part of the summer on gem, must be plenty of indians here who will be desperate to see it

I'm not so sure. ENG are a couple of first-choice bowlers light, and dropped three catches in the JAMT20.

Would be great.

Would also be pretty amusing if Indian and English cricket matches were free to air in Australia and not in India or England

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to Bowl First

have no idea. Cricinfo bro. Probably not one.

SL are an average side, only Pakistan find it difficult playing with them.

 

[Energetic]

Told you we are too strong for Lankans. Let's not forget how young and inexperienced our England side is compared to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka struggles in England where ball bounces higher and you generally get a lot more sideways movements plus its hell of a lot cooler here compared to the humid subcontinent.

Its the 50 over and test formats which tells us the superiority of the teams not the tamasha T20 where unfortunately many fans and experts are basing players on especially for the longer forms.

World t20 champs, Asia cup champs suggests otherwise.

 

[MarkCooper]

Struggling with short stuff, expect lots of it this tour.

 

[Haz95]

Asia Cup champs getting violated badly 118/8 Jordan is killing em

 

[Adil_94]

As expected Lankans look out of their depth playing on these early summer seam friendly pitches in England extremely difficult for any touring side especially ones from the SC

Lankans like India are mostly only Kings only in Asia outside Asia they are only slightly above minnows

It didn't look to be moving off the seam much. They had more trouble against Jordan's bang-in stuff.

 

[MarkCooper]

I think several of the Lankans shown they are not comfortable with the bounce in England. I think the tactic will be to bounce them out.

Any bit of assistamce in the pitch is more than enough for the Lankans
