mgb, not into jinxing..I really want Eng to win :oops:
:clap:Quote:
6.2 Oh we have been expecting you, Mr Swann. Once again he strikes in the first over of a new spell. And a classical dismissal too. Tossed up generously, pitches middle and leg, Thirimanne is looking leg side, closing the face, but the ball dips, and then turns away to beat the bat and take the off stump 8/2
8.1 Swann strikes again. And it's the big man MJ. Excellent bowling. Goes straght on after pitching on a length outside off. Jayawardene is expecting an offbreak that he can defend towards the vacant silly point region. This one doesn't turn, though, and takes the edge to first slip. England are right back into this one. I am loving this Test 14/3
18.6 got him! Swann strikes again and removes another left-hander. And it's an absolute beauty, producing an edge to gully. Classic off break bowling, drift in, forcing Sangakkara forward but he wasn't completely to the pitch, played a not great prod and edged to Bell who bagged a sharp chance to put England right back in the match 41/4
30.1 stumped! And England do strike before the close, as Samaraweera walks past one outside off stump and falls just before the close. It was a slider from Swann past the outside edge, Samaraweera was in a dreadful position, was done on the outside edge and stumped by a distance by a gleeful Matt Prior 72/5
Public: Kamaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Private: ippo SL declare paNNA kooda, Rangannan suzhatti suzhatti adichchi jeyichchu kuduththuruvaapla.
a lead of 209 runs.. another 50-60 runs tommorrow, they would have batted england out of the game
England can win this match.
mkkm... suLuvA solteengaLE.
50 adikkavE vazhiyai kaaNOm. They have been dismissed under 10 for 3-4 times in the last few matches.
ennaththa line-uppu? Except the Cook-Trott stand in Abidhabi, their top order has been pretty abysmal.
KP is proving to be veritable veththuvEttu. India was a blip, and not a comeback.
It was good to see Bell score today. Tomorrow will be a bigger challenge.
It may be down to Bell and Prior.
btw too many matches with 15+ wickets in a single day of late.No?
KP was unlucky. Inside edge. Welegedara was bowling filth for most of the day.
Kanagana Ranaut :clap:.
P_R, Galle is notorious for slowing down after day 2 and the batting should get easy...Herath unlike Rehman is slower through the air and the batsmen should have enough time to read him off the pitch and Randiv is not even a patch on Ajmal...Lakmal seems slippery but other than these Eng won't be facing major challenge other their usual brain fart of reverting to sweep when in doubt.

When every one says KP, only one thing comes in my mind. Their a Nuts manufacturing company (peanuts , cashews..) in UK called KP.
KP Nuts :lol:

Jimmy Anderson completed another five wicket haul and Mahela Jayawardene succumbed for 180
idhepdi irukku...
England win first test. You read it here first.
SL can declare now! 209 run lead is more than enough to stamp ENG! Murali will be very happy to see this!
Go Herath Go!
This is why England are worthy #1 - look how they fought from adversity to beat Lanka in Lanka. Even India have done that only occasionally - and never a come back win like this. Idhai ellaam venkkiram post panna dhaan poraar namma innikko nALaikkO pArkka dhaan pOROm. Swann's timely return to form is an indication of England's destiny and St George's increasing influence with the Lord up there.
Lanka let england back into the game screams The Mt Rd M Vishnu - and how right they are! I think Feeyar is chattergising here. Chatterjee is not about intentions - it is about predictions. How the mighty have fallen :lol:. Come on place faith on the best sporting team ever to walk this world - England Cricket, champions forever.
Lead 232 + 5 wkts.

340 to chase for England and prove that they are World No-1 :pink:
HAPW Jayawardene - :clap: :cheer:

Opening - 82 runs, 2nd wicket - 111, pietersen and co - 100+. 290 odd for 4. 50 runs from there easy doozy for Prior Swann Patel and Broad, if any of them is needed in the first place. If Welegedara can hang on for an hour, Alastair can hang on for a day, which might not even be required. England ARE NOT hapless India to lose 8 overseas matches in succession. Strauss is a smarter captain than all-time-greatest-captain-in-cricket-history-across-all-formats Dhoni.
England struggling to tackle spin. :)
Ranganathan got both the Inglees Openers out, now he needs to get the SA batsmen out! This Looks like a World XI team rather than a Yorkshire team, waat eh shame !
Softie
Irunga Ivangalum Out aana piragu, Lanka has to bowl at the Irish Team :lol2:
How close England are to victory now? (Not following scores). Chalo England ab Dilli door nahin! Kamaan!
17 wkts yesterday and only 7 today..
111/2 chasing 340. Batting team is obvious favourite :huh:. Watch maapla talends tomorrow - facepalm at baby face. Inspirational skipper eh? Lanka lose to #1 team at home after taking comfy first inns lead. Tell me something new. Heck, they did that even to Hussain's absymal team. This England team are all time greats. Broad alone cqan score 300. We have Trott, KP, Bell, Patel, Prior, Swann, Andersen. Monty can stay as long as he wants. Ippadai thORkin eppadai vellum. Even Dhoni has captained India to victory in Lanka. Straussala mudiyaadhaa? Jejeebee
