[Desi_Joker]

Makes you think Pakistan didn't do all that badly in their ODI series after having a look at this performance by the Lankans.

Desi Joker off the mark as well now.

 

[Fireworks11]

Senseless batting, ducking under a bouncer. You're losing the game, Randiv.

 

[Fireworks11]

Cracking 4. Bit of music as well. Should fire up the blood.

 

[Fireworks11]

Splendid fielding by KP on the 3rd man boundary.

 

[Sledger]

Broad wicketless.. again?

 

[Fireworks11]

Swann is on. Lovely loop and bounce.

 

[Fireworks11]

Ironic cheer for the 100.

 

[Fireworks11]

Tossed up, inviting the full blooded swish. Avoided.

 

[Fireworks11]

 

[shahidafridi123]

 

[Fireworks11]

Really got hold of that. Cracked over midwicket. Malinga enjoying the night.

 

[Fireworks11]

Smashed over cover. Four more.

 

[Fireworks11]

Malinga has his eye in. Too little. Too late.

 

[Fireworks11]

Broad getting hammered lol.

 

[Fireworks11]

Cut over point. 4 more!!

 

[Fireworks11]

These two should have opened.

 

[Sledger]

Malinga really laying into Broad.

 

[Sledger]

I think they're going for the win.

 

[Fireworks11]

Broad puts his hat on and walks back to fine leg. What happened there, Stuart?

 

[Fireworks11]

Top edge. OUT.

 

[Fireworks11]

Good cameo by Lasith. Nearly time to go back to the hotel.

 

[Fireworks11]

Lakmal in, last man.

 

[Fireworks11]

Lol Randiv blocking as if it's last over before stumps on day 1 of a Lord's Test.

 

[Fireworks11]

 

[Sledger]

Game over, what a thrashing.

 

[Fireworks11]

Randiv stumped. The boys trudge off. Early party tonight.

 

[shahidafridi123]

All over.

 

[Sledger]

England won by 110 runs..

 

[Sledger]

Nice start for Cook.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

England win

 

[Fireworks11]

Terrible showing by SL. England knocked the living daylight out of them. SL need a shake up.

 

[Desi_Joker]

Chalo at least they'll have a new youngsta beauty for the next game! Good riddance Jayasuria!

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

England go 1 up in the series

 

[Fireworks11]

Captain Cook has a fabulous start to his voyage.

 

[Fireworks11]

On to Leeds we go. Jimmy will enjoy the journey.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Sri lankas performance was not as good as they should be they seriosly need to di better next time

 

[Fireworks11]

SL are top heavy with their batting. Massively reliant on the top 4. If they fail, it's all over. Besides Angelo and to some degree Malinga, their lower order batting needs to buck up.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Jimmy had a excellent day today with 4 wickets and so did Bresnan

 

[Fireworks11]

Crushing at the Kia Oval. Russell getting grilled on his lavish prediction at HT. It's all in good nature.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Captains get interviewed

 

[Fireworks11]

Botham's wearing quite a catchy suit, striped navy blue.

 

[Fireworks11]

Chef getting interviewed.

 

[Fireworks11]

Dilshan on Sanath being an MP: "Sanath will certainly get my vote".

 

[Fireworks11]

Jimmy Anderson is the MOTM. Bowled really well tonight, looked refreshed and right on the money from ball one.

 

[Fireworks11]

Let's not forget his marvelous diving catch. Sparkling night tonight.

 

[Fireworks11]

Sky panel discussing the importance of conditions. From the hot and humid Colombo to the cool and breezy Oval.

 

[Fireworks11]

JA looks motivated, he has a point to prove in ODIs. Solid day.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Anderson gets motm

 

[Fireworks11]

That's that. Job done. Good night.

 

[James]

Amjid Javed, you are useless

Completely obvious that we were going to win at the half-way stage, contrary to the views of some people that think they know what they're on about/people who are paid to say things/a combination of the two.

 

[Fawad2010]

Devastating loss for SL, they need to regroup and figure out a way to deal with the English seam attack. I think Swann shouldn't cause them TOO much trouble as SL batsmen are good players of spin.
