A nice tribute to Graham Thorpe on Sky.

As for this test series hopefully Sri Lanka can be competitive but I expect a similar result to the West Indies test series.

These are the series the Poms tend to romp.

Australia and India are a different story however.

Now the other Sri Lankan opener Madushka is gone, this is looking ominous for Sri Lanka.

Hoping they can put up at least a half decent 1st innings total.

Wood’s handy.

Comes on first change & just lets it rip at 149+

 

[Stig O'Hara]

A beast of a ball from Wood.

4/40

 

[spudmaster]

A nasty ball from Wood, too nasty for Mendis.

song contest votes. hurry up!

edit: good lad

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That’s a grubber.

5/72

Mudheap of a deck.

 

[MJG14]

That was a Carl Hooper to Nasser Hussain level grubber there. Pretty poor for session 1 day 1.

Guarantee that footage will get a run now.

Yep, as predicted the Nasser grubber footage got a run in the lunch break. He always gets stitched up.

 

[sabso]

England are Englanding nicely - 113/7 to 178/8 by tea. Five SL batsmen in a row making double figures.

 

[Donnie Darko]

These are the series the Poms tend to romp.

Australia and India are a different story however.

Australia , no series win in England since 2001
India's record in England is grim . 2 series wins in their entire history.

Got any more amazing insights for this series ?

 

[Plugger35]

Lawrence given out lbw and then overturned on review.

Then Duckett given not out and then overturned and given lbw on review.

Some good bowling from Asitha Fernando but some not so good umpiring.

god the kayo streaming quality is atrocious on chrome browser...

i could barely see that root got out then and there's nothing i enjoy more than seeing root get out

 

[sabso]

What a delight it is to watch Jamie Smith bat.

 

[sabso]

Dude spoilers. (my fault actually - got to unwatch after replying)

I'm mega superstitious every time England bat: if I'm watching or paying attention while the innings is in play I reckon whoever's in is going to get out next ball.

 

[Bedi]

Then watch more cricket. That stupid bunch of utter sh!theads should be getting out. Looks like they have a meth-head in their side now.

Lawrence? Potts? Atkinson?
