289/8 - Team score! Mahela Jayawardene contribution : 168 runs! Close to 49 overs he faced against the ENG bowling attack and he was able to make runs on the board! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
This is what I call it as common sense in batting! which most of the best batsmen forget to do when the team badly needed! When your team members struggle against and when you believe in you, you tend to face lot of balls and use the time efficiently!
There are numerous good batsmen in Test arena. But very few stands tall in such scenarios! Such should be called as historical/epic.
Can Jayawardanae stands tall every day ??? Ippdi velanda thaan common sense irukka appo avaruku South Africa tour la common sense illaya :huh:

enthirikkaatha matches-a pathi naan pesala! antha viyaathi ellorukkum irukku! enthiricha match-la eppadi aaduRaangka, athuvum opposite strike-la fellow team members struggle to find their rhythm.. I am talking about that. I had seen Lara batted few occasions in the past like this. Such caliber of common sense should be applauded. MJ would have played very defensive when SL lost 2 wickets in its first 3 overs and ended with just completing hundred. But he made fruitful of 168 runs while the second top runner from 9 players scored only 27. Such was the dominance of MJ I am praising here. From team perspective, this total will sure help!
Vinod, that's a stand-alone post applauding MJ's 168 today. I don't see any other names being dragged by Venkki for comparison. Just IMO.
Correct Satya. Venki intha maari ellorum common sense oda veladunumnu sonnarae athaan konjam idichathu. I dont mind him praising Jayawardanae. Nalla velanda appreciate pannurathula enna thappu.
SA need 4 more wkts in 16 overs to win 2-0. Morkel has taken all 6 wkts.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zeal...ch/520605.html
The irony is NZ still stands to gain 2points and SA lose 1 point even after winning the series 1-0. This is tougher than the Tennis rankings. Ok, P_R stop jumping. :lol:
Cook goes for a duck
180 when no one else crossed 30 - babyface :clap:

Herath to Strauss, OUT, Sri Lanka are reviewing this. This is very close. Strauss is sweeping this really full delivery, and misses it. This has hit him on the half-volley, so no scope for much turn. It all depends on where the ball has hit him with respect to the line of off stump. Strauss has moved well across here, but Asad Rauf has given this not out. After a discussion, Jayawardene makes the T sign. And rightly so. This is full, pitched around off, turning in towards middle, Strauss is beaten on the sweep, and off he goes. Strauss doesn't seem happy. One of the reasons could be the time taken by Jayawardene before reviewing this. It did seem longish, but it is the umpire's discretion to allow or disallow a review

If it were india batting, a recovery by the oppn from 15/3 to 300 and then 3 quick wickets batting will mean the test is lost already but this is England. Just see maapla talends winning from here

72/5 :lol2:
C Welegedara to Pietersen, OUT! Pietersen drags it onto his stumps! Good length delivery outside off from round the wicket, nips back in after landing. Pietersen goes for a drive but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Welegedara strikes immediately after lunch! England in some trouble now!
Herath to Prior, OUT! LBW! Good length delivery on middle, turns away after landing. Prior gets squared up in his defense and is hit on the back leg. The players appeal and the umpire lifts his finger after a long wait. England ask for a review but the replays show that it would have hit middle and off. The onfield decision stays and Prior has to depart. England reeling at 72/5.
Prior-um out...England 5 wickets down :redjump:
Plum- Pliss continue :clap:
This is where Gujarat Singam Sami Patel justifies his selection. And Broad, Swann, Andermagan - whatta tail!! Monty's no rabbit either. If Engalnd hold on to catches, they can easily skittle SL in the 2nd inns. I wanted an innings victory but think a normal victory is also fine. Andies :thumbsup:
time to give the ball to randiv and throttle further
Plum = maNamagaLE vA SS Chandran
I may have to support Englandnu avar sonna vaai muhurtham...
No yA dharmam vellum. Look what happened to India - they did win the world cup but boy what a walloping. Destiny's on England side - see if SA had won, England's ranking would have been in doubt but see - that didn't happen? St George is lobbying hard up there claiming compenstion for the previous decade of despair. Cool, steve. Cool. Mark Wagh is scoring some beautiful runs out there with Papa's Son Broad cashing in as well. 200+ first inns total assured. After that skittle lanka and chase the score :thumbsup:
P_R.. indha pitch sariyillanu nenakkaren.. neenga enna nenakkaringa? :p
but as you feared england is not getting skinned alive :(
Herath- Fifer :clap:
No Follow-on for England :-(
<in Thambi Maddy mode> naan yenna Seyyaa </>...only series I want Eng to win and they are getting mauled :banghead: come on Tiger..come on Tiger
England tail collectively are the new Adam Gilchrist - winning matches for England from dire positions. Swann/Broad/Maandy/Andy :thumbsup: (Prior is a top order batsman else he'll be another Gilly by himself). Whatta team England is! I am falling in love - yeah even with Barbie Broad
