Fuckin hell a St George flag Great Sutton (don’t know where it is) with a Liverpool crest AND a Utd crest on the same flag! WTF

Excellent performance from all the bowlers. Sri Lanka very ordinary batting g team. Below par score just no need to panic and it’s won.

And good bowling from England

Sri Lanka forgot that to exceed a par score after a good start you have to keep the foot on the accelerator. Another ten runs in that middle section and England would have been a lot more nervous. Could easily have been looking at 160+ and it’s a different game.

But we bowled really well so we aren’t

Exactly. It’s like saying if Fulham score 4 in the first half it could be a difficult match!

Just preserve wickets and we will piss this run rate

25% of the overs gone from their premier bowler, 12 scored, brilliant

Yes we did, but a better approach from Sri Lanka in overs 9-14 would have made a difference. I’m just saying they were too casual at that point because they had no pressure on them to win the game. I’m not going to discuss the nuances of the game if you think it’s just about one side doing one thing.

Lovely batting

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

72 to win at less than a run a ball. Just milk their spinners with minimum risk and we do this easily.
