Cricket Thread

Looks England want to get out there and bowl. Some poor shots this morning but think we have enough for this wicket ball doing a lot!
 
You have to laugh at the way cricket is run, lunch at 1:15 pm so Sri Lanka will come out to face just one over.

Can’t they just have lunch and start the next session earlier?
Ludicrous. IIRC, one of the days in the last test, the day's play finished on 88 overs. 2 overs left to get in the required 90 overs, and they come off. In glorious sunshine. The powers that be haven’t got a clue, or give a flying fuck about the paying punters.

Im more on board with the one over to be bowled than losing overs in the day.

Part of the reason I was advocating declaring was making the SL batters start twice.
 
Cricket is barmy, why not start lunch a few mins early and not waste 10 mins between innings? People pay a fortune to watch cricket and sometimes the rules or umpires are fucking stupid and take the paying public for granted, especially given the lost overs yesterday. I can only assume England insisted on bowling one over before lunch so SL have to start twice?
