England in Sri Lanka (White Ball)

[Mainze]

Nice bowling from Rashid.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Good from England this

some fielder Bairstow mind 146-7

good performance in the field that

 

[Old Timer]

Good first over should set this up nicely

Jinxed that 2 down

 

[Silly Point]

Bit of bonus cricket after work thanks to the Sri Lancashire (but a bit warmer) rain.

 

[The Rat]

Morgan is a class act

love this team, unreal

 

[smoker]

Talksport commentary....terrible.

Good win though!

 

[Silly Point]

Another dominant performance from this team but Sri Lanka are almost Windies level of depressingly bad at the moment (almost but not quite because at least they still win most Tests at home). Ground looked half empty again. The weather and late finish won't have helped but the game needs a strong Sri Lanka especially as a strong West Indies is a pipe dream

Said online that it was after 11.30pm local time when it finished! That's nuts.

Sri Lanka are very strong at home in Tests

Let’s not over play it

Who do they have on comms?

Said that mate

Nevertheless Sri Lanka are synonymous with white ball cricket for me. Reached the latter stages of pretty much every white ball tournament I can remember with their unique blend of classical strokeplayers and innovative unorthodox bowlers

Malinga is a chunky fucker these days. Just seen him side on and he's got a bigger gut than me.........

Gough and Butcher isn't it? Haven't listened to any of it but can imagine it's garbage

Don't ever recall him being slim tbf.

I love watching Morgan bat

These DLS victories feel a bit hollow.

Not that long back that Sri Lanka toyed with England in Odis

3-0 hopefully 4-0 upcoming

Would love to see this England one day team against those Lankan teams of the past mind. What a series that would have been.

Just hope they turn it round soon and they don't go full Windies on us

Not long ago Moores was in charge and every country was taking the piss.

Winning by DLS is still a disappointing way to win, and that's not denigrating the England team in any way.

 

[ProfessionalMackem]

They just don't look the same in Asia it's really strange. Must be a mental thing. Thinking We're supposed to clean up here are we up to it?

Dawson is shite wherever in the world he's playing mind.

I dunno if we're watching the same games here mate. Both Rash and Mo have bowled really well this tour so far. Not sure you're expecting off them tbh

 

[The Rat]

These DLS victories feel a bit hollow.

Agreed

Shame like. Would have been a good test this too

Not that long back that Sri Lanka toyed with England in Odis

3-0 hopefully 4-0 upcoming

9 series victories in a row

Such a good team
