If Eng are all out for 100 again...No problem mate.<br /><br />If Eng are all out for 100 against this attack I'll eat my hat!<br /><br />Thats unlucky on the 500+, Morgs let you down a bit there blocking those 5 balls when he had no reason to. Probably worried about his place and didnt want to get out but he should have been swinging you'd think at that stage - if they were thinking of declaring once Bell got a 100.Stephen Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270118313544476198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807732054704148496.post-76723176481643724512011-05-30T20:52:06.892+01:002011-05-30T20:52:06.892+01:00I'm posting a link to this post in my blog, ho...I'm posting a link to this post in my blog, hope you don't mind, you sum it up better than I could.<br /><br />I should have stayed focused on the cricket to be honest, missed out on a good opportunity to trade. Although the footy wasn't half bad as well. Could have been worse I suppose, I could have been a draw backer. I did have England 500+ runs though, therefore the declaration wasn't in my favour. Although the profit back on the England win made up for it.<br /><br />I agree England look good at present, should really wrap this series up no problem. Sri Lanka's strength is in their batting and today they didn't shine themselves in glory. Their bowling attack doesn't seem to have much to threaten England's batsmen like you say. Although maybe it's best to expect the unexpected, Sri Lanka to knock over England for less than a 100 in the first innings at Lord's then?denmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718793194620030816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807732054704148496.post-51873363222928690962011-05-30T20:41:21.462+01:002011-05-30T20:41:21.462+01:00*won anyway.

I actually laid the draw quite hevaily at various points in the game but only had small green on it by the end and had given up on their being any meaningful last day play to be honest. Turned over after the play-off final and it was 52-8, nearly feel off my chair. Wish I hadn't got rid of my massive green now, although I probably wouldn't have even taken the 999/1 on England at 3pm today. Suprised they declared when they did thought they'd have kept Sri Lanka in the field and tired out their bowlers ahead of the second test.denmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718793194620030816noreply@blogger.com
