Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 2, 2006, 16:00:35 all out for 231, about fucking time!
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Friday, June 2, 2006, 17:12:25 38-2,bollocks!
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Johno on Friday, June 2, 2006, 19:52:09 well...batting pitch my arse really...
its a shame we lost 2 wickets...one would have been okay but two is abit dissapointing. i would have took 231 all out at the beginning of the day...so im hoping we can reach 300 with pietersen, cook, flintoff... Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: DMR on Friday, June 2, 2006, 20:42:44 It's a lovely wicket, Sri Lanka got some rough decisions and contined to bat like spazzers, Strauss playted across the line when he should have been forward and Tresco is a dozy sod.
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: STFC Village on Friday, June 2, 2006, 22:15:47 What a great day, i'm Alistair Cooked 8)

Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Bogus Dave on Saturday, June 3, 2006, 20:35:21 Quote did you not see murali and vaas bat? i wouldn't call it batting, it was more swinging and hoping. we couldn't do much about it, apart from maybe bowl a little straighter. Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: fatbury on Sunday, June 4, 2006, 11:05:45 not going very well .. 1 hour down .. no wickets SL 78-1
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, June 4, 2006, 18:56:45 pathetic the lot of them! they ought to be shot! (with the exception of freddie and monty perhaps)

(with the exception of freddie and monty perhaps) Disagree, Monty should definately be shot...!! Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Monday, June 5, 2006, 06:55:33 Well thats it then,the Sri lankans are going to win.There is no way we are going to be able to chase down over 300 on a wearing pitch against one of the best spin bowlers ever.Can't see it being a draw either,we won't be able to stick around for two days.
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 5, 2006, 10:05:06 rubbish! we'll bowl 'em out well before lunch and then we've got two days in which to bat, easy!
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 5, 2006, 10:42:05 see? job done!
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: STFC Village on Monday, June 5, 2006, 10:43:04 Monty! Monty!
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, June 5, 2006, 10:45:54 325 to win then...see if our openers can hang around a bit longer than the first innings :|
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: McLovin on Monday, June 5, 2006, 10:50:50 I think we'll either do this, or be out for an embarassingly low total...
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Monday, June 5, 2006, 11:26:59 I'm sure a draw is not going to happen now,there is too much time left.Still i can't see us getting the runs,not against Murali.
Good to see Monty getting a fiver :D Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, June 5, 2006, 11:29:05 Quote from: "larwood" I'm sure a draw is not going to happen now,there is too much time left.Still i can't see us getting the runs,not against Murali.

Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Johno on Monday, June 5, 2006, 11:53:52 well...tresco and strauss are just about hanging in there so far with 44 on the baord.

Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: McLovin on Monday, June 5, 2006, 14:41:37 I'm so glad i'm not watching this... sounds like a pathetic display of batting.
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Spud on Monday, June 5, 2006, 14:54:54 It's a mix of pathetic Batting and good bowling by that little fuck Murali.
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Monday, June 5, 2006, 14:58:30 Quote and good bowling by that little fuck Murali Yep,it was always going to happen,batting last was always going to be trouble :( Our inability to stay in has been a problem for the last few series.Bring back Boycott :wink: Both KP and Fred are carrying injuries too. Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: McLovin on Monday, June 5, 2006, 15:01:35 Having not played much cricket, it is it really that hard for modern English players to bat like a Boycott?
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Monday, June 5, 2006, 15:11:15 Quote it is it really that hard for modern English players to bat like a Boycott The thing is the England players would say the game has changed,which of course it has,now a run rate of four an over is what most teams seem to aim for,they want to play quick exciting cricket.Which is brilliant BUT we seem to forget that its a test,not a odi,so time is on your side,the players seem unable to change their style of batting. We weren't ever very likely to win anyway,it would have been one of the biggest run chases ever against a team with a freaky spin genius on a wearing pitch,not very likely even with Sir Geoff in the team. Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, June 5, 2006, 15:18:33 He's gonna take all 10 wickets
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, June 5, 2006, 15:20:41 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Hoggard ran out - the fucker wont get all 10 now!
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 5, 2006, 15:37:37 monty's in, watch him save the day
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Foggy on Monday, June 5, 2006, 15:47:42 I dont think that the batsmen can be totally blamed for this result, It was always on the cards when an average spinner like Monty can take 5 wickets and then the Sri lankans wheel out Muri , the pitch was getting worse and as someone has already said ,batting last and chasing a big total was always going to be difficult. Time to relieve Freddie of the captaincy,get Virgil and Harmy fit , find a wicket keeper that can bat ! and we will be good again .
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 5, 2006, 16:00:28 monty hit a six!!!!!!!
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, June 5, 2006, 19:06:59 fucking pathetic exuse for a cricket team! get rid of the lot of them! that includes Freddie who has done a shoddy job as captain! can't wait for vaughan to return! and who said monty couldn't bat? :D
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: DMR on Monday, June 5, 2006, 19:10:42 I thought missing the run chase because of 4 hours of exam this arvo was a bad thing. Can't wait to see Monty bat on the hilights though 8)
Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: DerbyRed on Monday, June 5, 2006, 19:40:12 Put Monty in at no.1 I say!! :mrgreen:
That 6 was ace!!! Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Scot Munroe on Tuesday, June 6, 2006, 09:21:25 Murali is a bowling genius.
:wink: Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Tuesday, June 6, 2006, 10:32:39 Quote Murali is a bowling genius Well he is,of course he's also a freaky double jointed fucker too,especially when he does well against your team :( Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Scot Munroe on Tuesday, June 6, 2006, 10:58:56 he is a bette bowler than the last time sri lanka toured 4 yrs ago because has a that delivery that goes the other way the doosra.
8) Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: larwood on Tuesday, June 6, 2006, 13:29:09 With a bowler like Murali in their side the Sri lankans always stood a chance,especially in a situation like yesterdays.Whatever your opinon of his action is,he is one of the best bowlers in world cricket.
We should have won at Lords,and we didn't :x Title: England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test Post by: Spud on Tuesday, June 6, 2006, 14:11:48 Quote from: "larwood" With a bowler like Murali in their side the Sri lankans always stood a chance,especially in a situation like yesterdays.Whatever your opinon of his action is,he is one of the best bowlers in world cricket. We should have won at Lords,and we didn't :x The fact of the matter is, we had them in their first innings but let them off the hook. We should have went into bowling at them in the 2nd innings with a good 70 run lead instead we were 2 behind. |
