Match Thread: England vs Sri Lanka

Hatebreed · #1 April 4, 2007, 07:47 AM

So, this should be a cakewalk for SL, but I'm hoping Eng will put up a fight and turn it into a game worth watching. If they get thrashed badly, I fear they will come down harder on us. I think an overconfident England is better for our prospect of upsetting them.

Go England go!!

Great. In all likelihood, we will have West Indies and England coming down hard on us.

Hatebreed · #4 April 4, 2007, 08:37 AM

The pitch looks weird.

Rubu · #5 April 4, 2007, 08:42 AM

England's fast bowlers look threatening. We need to bowl first against them.

Hatebreed · #6 April 4, 2007, 08:43 AM

Yeah. Anderson is bowling pretty well, although it could be due to the pitch.

Rubu · #7 April 4, 2007, 08:45 AM

Thats why we need to bat 2nd. Anyway, i wanna see a six now. I love how Billy Berdon(sp) signals a six.

Eng looking good so far...we should stop dreaming our top order will say "chaira de ma kede bachi"

Tintin · #9 April 4, 2007, 09:09 AM

Jayasuriya six and out. Played on off Mahmood. Sri Lanka 37/1

England will be crushed and deflated cause they can't hope to move on to the semis anymore. i don't care if they are pumped or not, if they come heavy or as a slouch, this is a WC game. If you can't perform you can't show any excuse. Give the credit to the opponents deserve.

3 game winning streak here we come.

The runrate slowed down a little bit. But still going at a good pace over 4. 56/1 in 14 overs.

allrounder · #14 April 4, 2007, 09:53 AM

England can win if Michael, Kevin, Colly scores 50s and 100s.

Hatebreed · #15 April 4, 2007, 09:56 AM

There goes Sangu!

*reverse_swing* · #16 April 4, 2007, 10:00 AM

It seems to me I am only English fan here.

Kabir · #17 April 4, 2007, 10:02 AM

Keep dreaming. I will treat you with Biriani if our mighty warriors lose this match.

Rubu · #19 April 4, 2007, 10:17 AM

Yes, you are. I'm an SL fan too. If Bangladesh can't get the Cup, I want SL to get it.

Tiger bhai you are also invited. In your case it will be a special treat which includes one way plane ticket but you need to buy the return one

Sri Lanka 92/2 (23.0 ov)

Looks almost same as BD score against NZ.

And we blame JO and the selectors.

You are right. That was exactly what I was thinking. Our players should actually see this game and see how to bat and maybe realize that not always big and fancy shots need to be played to win a game.

That's the DIFFERENCE....b.t SL(worldclass) and We BD(thirdclass)
we will go into collapse and they will build an fighting total.

We are indeed far behind from these top class teams.
