[Justcrazy]

Prasad gets a wicket......... its rare.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Still dont think barring is that easy, special day to be in form for Pieterson

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

James Im saying SL will win, wanna go double or nothing?

 

[Saurav]

James Im saying SL will win, wanna go double or nothing?

lol r u serious?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

lol r u serious?

I mean a series win, this game is going to draw or Eng lose.

 

[James]

I mean a series win, this game is going to draw or Eng lose.

You already owe me a pint for the first test...it's three pints if we don't win this match

 

[Justcrazy]

348 / 4

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Saved, was lbw there, punishes the bad decision by a four

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

You already owe me a pint for the first test...it's three pints if we don't win this match

Done and done. The English will be out by today and they will fall like a pack of cards once Pieterson falls

 

[adnan yasin]

Cook 94 was very very slow .. 33% is not acceptable

Pietersen covered it with quick innings ... its an exceptional knock by pietersen

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Btw during Tea, do players actually drink tea till now?

 

[James]

Strauss, Cook and Trott laid a great platform, no problem with the slow scoring in this context.

'One of the best innings I've ever seen' - :rondu

Bob solidifies his legend status

 

[Justcrazy]

It's Tea.

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 77 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

England on top here, closing on a series leveling win.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sl bowling spineless

 

[adnan yasin]

lead of 174 with a wicket or 2 remaining will be satisfactory

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[James]

Variable bounce already

England to win.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

lakmal getting the ball to do things

 

[Justcrazy]

lead has increased to 82 now.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I have a feeling Pieterson will get out on the worst ball

 

[Justcrazy]

SL should have got 400 in the first innings , they wasted a great opportunity.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Lead would not pass 190-195

 

[James]

Ball is daisy cutting now, Anderson and Bresnan only need to bowl straight and the pitch will do the work.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL are themselves to blame.

 

[style_guru]

Today is the last day when the pitch shall play close to normal. From tomorrow onwards, we can see a wicket fall almost any ball.

England need to pile on a lead of 150-200 by 1st session tomorrow.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

That was the little bit of luck SL needed

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[Saurav]

so Bresnan'all win record will stay

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Theyve already put 100

 

[Saurav]

they'll get there today if KP stays

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

The downfall begins

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

England will win this easily. Sl batting is nothing

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 110 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor stuff from SL

[HashimAmlaFan]

What about a triple? Think big. Make it large.
