England v Sri Lanka | 4th ODI | Nottingham | July 6, 2011

[Ashraful_Rox]

Srilanka 10/2

Need to rebuild. Best of luck to both teams

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Let's see if Chandimal can repeat his heroics. Good bowling by Bresnan and Anderson, Broad needs to deliver today, no better chance than today.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This has been a pretty bad odi series for Dilshan, scores of 0, 3, 9 and 1. Hope he bounces back in the next match.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

4.1
Anderson to Chandimal, OUT, Chandimal over this time! Don't play England when the ball nips around! He was only half-forward when an inswinger clipped his front pad around the knee roll on off stump. Century followed by a duck for the 21-year-old
LD Chandimal lbw b Anderson 0 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Chandimal gone Anderson strikes

Srilanka 11/3

Anglo-SL 4th ODI thread

Apols to the mods if there is a thread already - I couldn't find one.

England win the toss and bowl, and SL are three down for 11!

 

[shahidafridi123]

I just came and saw that england are on fire! Which batsman are out?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dilshan, Jayawardena and Chandimal - all gone

 

[shahidafridi123]

Maiden from Anderson

 

[shahidafridi123]

Dilshan, Jayawardena and Chandimal - all gone

Thanks,
OMG, now they need Sanga.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Finally a run lol

 

[shahidafridi123]

Good bouncer

 

[shahidafridi123]

Kandamby off the mark, 2 runs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

A lot depends on Sanga, I want Kandamby to get out so that Mathews can finally score an odi century.

 

[Fireworks11]

SL are in a heap. England on song.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Almost chopped on!

 

[shahidafridi123]

Good fielding from Bell, saved a boundary

 

[shahidafridi123]

What a beauty to end the over!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Great delivery to finish the over by Jimmy, excellent over.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Good bowling from Bresnan

 

[shahidafridi123]

down the leg-side!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is perfect conditions for bowling, I think 220 will be a decent total.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Great delivery from Bresnan

 

[shahidafridi123]

And another beauty!

 

[shahidafridi123]

Good follow through stop from Bresnan, saved a single.

 

[shahidafridi123]

End of the over,1 off it.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Tim Bresnan 4 over 6 for 1. McGrath like figures

 

[Sledger]

Four down. SL getting thrashed.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Anderson strikes again

4 down, Mathews will score big, you heard it from me first

 

[Inswinger]

Sangakara's speech has motivated the English!!!

 

[shahidafridi123]

England on fire now!

 

[Sledger]

Randiv promoted lol.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sangakara's speech has motivated the English!!!

hahahah post of the week

 

[shahidafridi123]

Randiv in

 

[Sledger]

He'll struggle here, odd tactics by SL.

 

[Robert]

Oops.

A couple of SLers have given their wicket away, though.

Never fear, Draco will come in a minute with a steady supply of meaty pies.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Great bowling

 

[Sledger]

Shot of the day.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Another block

 

[shahidafridi123]

lol Broad still to get his first wicket in this series

 

[shahidafridi123]

Bouncer this time, 4 dots in a row.

 

[Sledger]

Another four to Sanga.

 

[shahidafridi123]

this time to Sanga!

 

[IAJ]

If the newballwatchman can support Sanga here SL could still make 200+ and that score will be handy under lights. But still loooong way to go.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Great shot by Sanga, class

 

[shahidafridi123]

Dot to end the over, 4 off it. Will Broad replace Bresnan?

Good ball from Anderson

 

[in_cutter]

Lol @ Holding's sneaky comments earlier:

"Ranjiv has two good scores...but that was against India, not seam bowlers"

What is he implying?

Nah don't think so, no overs reduced, if it is then England will win
