Sri Lanka v England - [Super 8s/Match 9] - Updates

[HAFRIDI]

I tHhought Vass would have been given the last over.. but he wasnt!

Thats what i though as well, but Fernando did an great job with the ball. He really bowled well today i thought.

Comiserations to England, credit to them for taking Sri Lanka right down to the wire though, one minute it was all joy in that swimming pool, the next it was dropped faces. Ravi and Nixon did a great job to put England back into it.

Props to Ravi, looks a good player in the making.

Hope England beat Aus though

oh man my blood pressure went high i wanted srilanka to win and in the end they almost blew it.sometimes theres a fine line between being a loser and a winner.thats was a length ball by fernando which could easily have disapeared for a 4 if bhopara had'nt backed away.pheww.

Bopara - Man of the Match.

Who decided that?

Bad move - and embarrasing.

Bopara MOM- he talks like a rudeboy!

Tough luck for England, full credit to SL. Way to go SL !!... I hope England beats the Aussies on Sunday.

You can't have a person from the losing side as man of the match. Had he hit the last ball for 3 or 4 then he would have deserved it.

it was a good match before a 3 day break

Not enough beard.

Still. At least we've had two really close games in the Super 8s now.

Yes, they needed to send in Monty to hit a couple of sixes.

I only heard the cricinfo commentary and on here but it was so exciting even without seeing it. Well done SL from someone who hopes England might still be in it once he gets to Barbados

i thought nixon should have picked it up for because he was the one took murali for qutie a few runs which turned the match around.reverse sweep for 6 was an amazing shot

YOu could if he scored a ton - but not for a 52.

 

[Mo.]

why not? he brought England back from the dead and almost made them win. Without him England would have lost by loads

Respect to England for putting up a fight.
