England in Sri Lanka

[sonic]

unless we collapse in bangladeshi style it should be a close matc...hopefully the wicket won't turn too much otherwise murali will have a field day tomorrow...i jsut hope i have'nt now put the mockers on it...but fingers crossed anyway!

You said it sonic...Murali had a field day. 7 wickets for 40 odd runs if my memory serves me right.
Currently SL 2 inns are 78/4, leading by 173. England making a mini fightback, but won't want to chase much more than 200...

Batting shocker - Great middle order performance sees Enlgand to within 100 of Sri Lanka

Consequently, I am packing my bags, donning my whites and hope to be playing in the 2nd test next week, so relax England fans.

Well, I would be doing this on Cricket 2004 if it ever gets released

Makes England the favourites if they can bat well. Hopefully they will win!

 

[sonic]

[Auwais]

Hopes can come true like there.
Probably a fair result seeing both teams were under pressure.

 

[Thurya]

f***ing bad light.
But we have 2 matches more...

 

[jonah]

Great effort by England to bat out the final day, on a turning wicket, against the likes of Murali. Butch, Colly, Giles all stuck it out well. Also pleased that we held out for Batty, who must've felt like shit after his abhorration; must've been the pressure...
