England v Sri Lanka ODI/T20i Series

[Aidan11]

Woakes isn't going to hang around.


6 balls for Root to get his ton.

[Aidan11]

Didn't realise Ronald McDonald was a cricket fan.

[Aidan11]

No chance of slapping Willey around when he's bowling like this.

[Aidan11]

105/4.

SL won't win this game either.

[Aidan11]

Make that 106/5.

[Arthur Crabtree]

POTS?

Roy?

[Arthur Crabtree]

England taking wickets through the middle overs, just like they didn't used to.

Good series for Rashid. SR has been about the same, but it's the first time his series econ has been below five.

[Aidan11]

Seven down now.


SL need putting out of their misery.

[Aidan11]

All over.


A tame finish to the series.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Four for Willey. Weirdly low key series. Seemed to stimulate less interest than the Tests, judging by internet comment, rather than size of the crowds.

[Aidan11]

The country still seems to be reeling from waves of bad news.

If these games were based entirely on pay-at-the-gate sales rather than advanced ticket sales I wonder just how well attended the games outside of London would have been.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I think so. Hopefully things will pick up when Pakistan come.

Roy is POTS, as expected.

[The Professor]

I think the only player who will be a tad disappointed would be Eoin Morgan. All the rest were bang on it. Let's not get too hyperbolic though...it is just Sri Lanka.

It would seem Buttler is opening and interestingly seven of the the eleven making up this team come from southern teams. Considering the North and Midlands tend to dominate all forms of cricket at present that's a surprise.

[Aidan11]

Tymal Mills is playing.
