ICC Champions Trophy, 8th Match, Group A: England v Sri Lanka | Sri Lanka Innings

[Justcrazy]

Anderson is on now.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Cricfan4eva]

??????? His econ rate is less than 4 and he's had an outstanding 18 months. Look it up, thanks

Which is what I meant, he's a wicket-taking bowler but these 2 have played him out easily. No trouble whatsoever.

ICC Champions Trophy, 8th Match, Group A: England v Sri Lanka | Sri Lanka Inn...

Come on sanga ... Make ton today

 

[James]

Which is what I meant, he's a wicket-taking bowler but these 2 have played him out easily. No trouble whatsoever.

Econ rate of under 4 is outstanding in this match...he also took 10 wickets in a Test match this month so I think you're uninformed

 

[MohsanAslam]

Lankans in a strong position now

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 114 runs with 8 wickets and 16.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Sl should win from here.

 

[MohsanAslam]

Dont think Pak would have got close to 200 even on this pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

A SL would spice up remaining matches

 

[sachjinn]

Anderson pulling a cheap move like only he can trying to trip Sanga

 

[Justcrazy]

Dont think Pak would have got close to 200 even on this pitch

Pakistan has probably weakest batting in the world currently , its belowing that is keeping them above the teams like Zim and BD

 

[MohsanAslam]

England is beautiful

 

[MohsanAslam]

Why are England ignoring Owais Shah?

 

[MohsanAslam]

Lankans are vulnerable to a collapse ! If only england can get a in-rod here....

 

[Justcrazy]

2 more runs

sanga 89 not out

 

[WebGuru]

Why are England ignoring Owais Shah?

Because they think he is only T20 material...And in T20 they got so many choices over him like Luke Wright, Hales, Kieswetter etc

 

[MohsanAslam]

Things will spice up in this group if lankans win today

 

[MohsanAslam]

Because they think he is only T20 material...And in T20 they got so many choices over him like Luke Wright, Hales, Kieswetter etc

Still think he deserves a chance.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 107 runs with 8 wickets and 15.0 overs remaining

 

[WebGuru]

Billy really made my day today with his hat...

 

[WebGuru]

Jaya give up...

 

[MohsanAslam]

Wickettt ! Bigg one for England !

 

[James]

Yes!!

 

[Ruri]

Poor shot selection to an average ball.

Still Sanga there though so SL still on for the win.

 

[James]

Quality catch from Bairstow.

 

[Justcrazy]

If these two stay another 5 overs , SL will be on top.

 

[MohsanAslam]

Collapse time?

 

[Ruri]

Still think he deserves a chance.....

He's been given many many many chances.

Proven failure, and has a habit of running out his partners. And gets leg cramps easy. Terrible player that's not worth a place in this side.

71 ODIs, 1 century and an average of 30. Useless.

 

[Justcrazy]

PP gets a wicket

 

[WebGuru]

Kula came to bat...interesting...

 

[MohsanAslam]

More onus on sanga now ! Dont trust this sri lankan middle order too much !

 

[MohsanAslam]

Those figures make for an excellent Pakistani player who will get a category A contract

 

[James]

Even Ravi is probably better value for a place than Shah.

 

[Ruri]

Sometimes it just feels like Jimmy carries the pace bowlers.

Too bad he's useless at the death, so we have no one for it.

 

[Ruri]

Bresnan, what is the point of your bowling?

 

[Ruri]

SL to get this easy really.

On to Cardiff.

 

[James]

SL's to lose. Hopefully they will

 

[ads101]

Just feels like that now. Finn's not playing but he's better. Broad was but for some reason is out of form in LOI atm. Both are better ODI bowlers than Jimmy.

 

[James]

Why the f is Kulasekera out there?

 

[WebGuru]

What a 100 by Sanga i hope it will help his team to win this match...

 

[jattafridi]

Sanga 100 well played

 

[WebGuru]

Drama lol...

 

[WebGuru]

Why the f is Kulasekera out there?

He is a pinch hitter got a highest of 73* in 43 balls against Australia in Australia and a 57* against NZ in South Africa so this guy knows how to play out of the sub continent.

 

[PakPrince]

first match im watching in CT and what a match this seems to be

 

[WebGuru]

Sanga you class!

 

[WebGuru]

Another reason why they say Form is temporary. Class is permanent...

 

[jattafridi]

Last 10 overs 76 runs need
Lanka u can do it

 

[WebGuru]

Kula going for another winning knock...

 

[Executioner]

Really good to see Lankans playing good cricket.

I like the Lankan batting order, they have batsman till no. 9. Today they promoted kulasakera up the order for some pinch hitting. If Pakistani think tank is going through PP , i would suggest them to make this sort of a team where you have a longer batting order and occassionally push a pinch hitter high up in the order.

 

[James]

It would seem that we can't bowl.

 

[Tridibans_16]

SL win here will open up group A big time. Infact, will be a massive upset if somehow Eng miss out of the semis and SL/NZ/AUS make it to the next round.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Why the f is Kulasekera out there?

Inspired move ..

Where's Finn ?, Mathews to come too ..

 

[cricguru]

Brave move Pakistan should learn
sometimes it is better to preserve batsmen for last 5 overs, very good move and it paid off

 

[Tridibans_16]

I still feel Eng will win this only coz their bowlers will come back at some stage you feel..... Also, if Sanga gets out, it will be really difficult for SL.

 

[WebGuru]

Gotta feel for poor Bairstow...Guy seems so active in the field even though he is not playing and is just a substitute fielder of Trott...

 

[WebGuru]

It would seem that we can't bowl.

Look i told you what Kula can do Gotta feel for swanny now...

 

[Tridibans_16]

KULA on AAAAGG...........Lovely hits, SLare firm favourites now

 

[jattafridi]

Klu 6 6 )

 

[WebGuru]

I still feel Eng will win this only coz their bowlers will come back at some stage you feel..... Also, if Sanga gets out, it will be really difficult for SL.

Not anymore...Even Kula is on fire...

 

[WebGuru]

How often you see swann going for 16 in his over?

 

[WebGuru]

Kula killing the Eng bowlers...Revenge of what Bopara did to Eranga..Seems like a replay

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Kula scoring .. BOOM! :6

 

[jattafridi]

Brave batsman we need some of those

 

[ads101]

And the pinch hitter worked well yet again.

 

[Love Pakistan]

Sir Nuwan Richards playing better than any Pakistani batsman!! Lol

 

[WebGuru]

Man here comes 50...

 

[WebGuru]

Kula can you please be our batting coach?

 

[leatherface58]

Indeed Kula is going berserk at the perfect time. After ownage of Lord Swann, he owns Lady Broad equally well.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Cook roasting .. game over. Wadda playa

 

[jattafridi]

What an innings I am supporting Sri Lanka for CT 13

 

[WebGuru]

Broad seems frustrated...

 

[MohsanAslam]

Our so called batsmen could learn a thing or two from kula

 

[MohsanAslam]

Will this spark something special in SriLanka for CT13?

 

[MohsanAslam]

Totally nailing england here !

 

[SpiritOf1903]

[James]

Brilliant tactics and batting from Sri Lanka. Congratulations to them. A win that will spice up this group.

 

[Ruri]

Well played Sri Lanka! Well batted.


England have lots of thinking to do.

 

[MohsanAslam]

Yorkers being muscled by kula

 

[MohsanAslam]

Group A getting tense
