England v Sri Lanka | 1st Test | June 12-16, 2014 | Lord's

[Justcrazy]

This dull track will lead to a draw. Both teams have been equal.

Poms have to take a chance , a bold declaration. If they want to win , but they lack quality spinner

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He will come back , he is too good player yo be dropped.

Hasn't done anything since the tour of India a year and a half back. Surely he needs some time off.

 

[Justcrazy]

Still over 50 overs left today, I think 375 is enough to set for final day

Eranga in the midst of a magnificent spell swinging the ball in and out

You need bold selector to drop a player like cook , also poms do not have too many better replacements

 

[Justcrazy]

Bell gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Eranga gets third one here , bowling in the right channel

 

[Electron]

What a spell by Eranga.

 

[Justcrazy]

Wickets will keep a check On poms here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Waqaranga destroying England here .

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka needs other bowlers to support Eranga here

 

[Justcrazy]

This can be a great game if lanka can knock poms out cheaply

 

[Noman]

sri lanka bowler target the stumps... England bowler bowling 4 stump line in a flat track....

What an idiots are england???

 

[Justcrazy]

herath can bowl an important spell here

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka restricting flow of runs here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms now lead by 201. I wonder what lead they want

 

[Convict]

sri lanka bowler target the stumps... England bowler bowling 4 stump line in a flat track....

A 4 stump line is the height of aggression from Cook

 

[MarkCooper]

effectively 209 for 3 on day 4

 

[MarkCooper]

Is it spinning for Herath?

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath needs to strike for lanka here.

 

[Munna]

A little more threatening bowling lineup could have made proceedings interesting here

 

[Justcrazy]

Ballance looking good so far. Good opportunity for him to prove himself

Kiri hasn't posted today, he really is Herath.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

[MENTION=134867]Kiri[/MENTION] showing the bearded man whos's the boss.

 

[eradicator]

Everytime the opposition bowling attack seems to roll over the England bowling attack , in comes Broad and spoils the party. I hope England dont manage to set a target of above 300 and we can get to see an interesting final day of test match which would surely guarantee a result.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Kiri hasn't posted today, he really is Herath.

I'm pretty sure that's true... really means we are playing 2 international cricketers at ... one super cricketer and another one [MENTION=134867]Kiri[/MENTION]

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Kiri hasn't posted today, he really is Herath.

He has posted today. Plenty of time to destroy England and still post on PP.

 

[thivaakar]

Has Mahela been using the same hat as the on he received when he made his debut in 96 ?

 

[Kiri]

Kiri also take's Ali's offstump Kiri on a roll

No wonder we are the best PPCL team.

Remember guys, Herath played country cricket in England before making his comeback for SL. Kiri is supposedly in "England" ?

all signs point towards only one thing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 213 runs , lanka bowling well

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need to bowl Eranga and Herath together- hope for a collapse and then chase the runs. SL have a realistic chance here.

 

[AZulfi]

Great game. Good resilience shown by Sri Lanka first with the bat and now with the ball. England effectively 230/5

All three results possible. England have a slight advantage. Lanka will have to bat well on the final day

 

[Justcrazy]

This match likely to be a draw , poms will not make bold declaration , but cricket is a funny game

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Where are those who called SL a glorified county attack

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms tail are more than capable

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Prior to save England once again?

 

[Justcrazy]

Something drastic needs to happen here for result , may be like last time lanka lost in two sessions

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath bowling well , he is important clog here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mathews should bring Ersnga on. Pradeep is not going to take wickets- not making them play enough.

 

[khalil1986]

Russell and his bias commentary again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Anything over 300 would be tough , but poms lack a quality spinner .

 

[Justcrazy]

Pradeep needs to pitch the ball up further.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 235 runs

 

[MarkCooper]

Good sportsmanship from England to sacrifice some on their wickets to make the game more interesting for the viewers.

 

[Dagger]

Russell and his bias commentary again.

Russell is an incredibly insipid and bland commentator, but he's the only tolerable one from SL. Somehow a nation that produces such astonishingly good players has produced only horrible commentators.

When Sanga retires and hopefully joins the combox, he'll be one of the best commentators in the world.

Russell has toned down a lot since he started but acts like a little girl as soon as SL start doing well coming up with all sorts of scenarios where SL can win.

Sanga can talk the talk but is a proper cheat

Brett: "If England can get to 300 they'll be favourites - chasing down 300 in the 4th innings does not happen often."


Interesting comment on cricinfo

 

[Robert]

[Justcrazy]

Ballance has played a very Matured innings so far

 

[Justcrazy]

[anakin]

England lead by 289 runs with 4 wickets remaining

Steve: "If Cook wants to win, he will declare with 15 overs left today. Question is does he have courage or belief." I wouldn't declare, I would take the draw here and back my side to win at Headingley where conditions will more favour England, only a two-match series this remember...

 

[Ruri]

Get to 350 or 370 and you are mostly safe.
