Savage Henry Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Nobody at the test match again today. And it's been an excellent test so far. As someone said earlier in the thread, Headingley will find themselves off the international circuit, I would hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Tickets are pretty expensive during a World Cup, lots of people won't bother. I imagine they'll make up the money during the India series... even if not many England fans turn up, plenty of India supporters will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I absolutely love Sangakkara, pure and utter class, probably the best batsman in the world now. Another 50 today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I absolutely love Sangakkara, pure and utter class, probably the best batsman in the world now. Another 50 today. 7 half centuries in a row, only the 4th player ever to do so and that equals the record. Andy Flower is one of the other 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Big wicket for Ali and England of Sanga for 55. Would've liked them two to see it out till close, would've been squeaky bum time in the England dressing room. They'll fancy another 1 or 2 now. eta- Got one. Ali again, great ball.

jmothecat Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Couple of good quick wickets for Ali. Really enjoyed that second one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Sri Lanka 106 runs in front with 6 wickets in hand, still very much in the balance IMO. Sri Lanka still have a chance of posting a decent lead as long as Jayawardene is there. England lost their last 8 wickets for just 87 runs, still fairly poor at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Sri Lanka lead by 203 at lunch with 3 wickets left. Mathews has been terrific on 79no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 England getting taken apart by Herath and Mathews here. 339-7, 231 ahead. Matthews 3 away from another century. Jordan and Plunkett are getting bashed up, Broad and Anderson are knackered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 SL 426-8 at tea a lead of 318 as England got Herath just before tea run out as Mathews looked for a single for his 150. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 SL is all out for 457 leaving England needing 350 to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Brilliant stuff from Sri Lanka, and Angelo Mathews in particular. Going to take a hell of a knock for England to win this. Tomorrow should be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 England need a record run chase if they are to win this, cannot see it on a 5 day old Headingly wicket, all out for 220. I normally like to see England do well at the Cricket, but would love it if they lost this one. Especially after Cook's whinging before the match. Whit a knock by Matthews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Another batting failure for Alastair Cook. England now 42-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Cook should resign the captaincy when (if?) no when England lose this. He can't cope with the pressure of the role and as such his batting has suffered terribly. His melt down about Warne last week was a sign of a man who's losing the plot. There's not many candidates to replace him right enough, but someone like Broad or Bell couldn't exactly do any worse.

Rudderless on the field and he's not exactly earning his place with the willow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
