England's Summer of Cricket against Sri Lanka and India

[captainfog]

If you can't beat them might as well accuse one of their bowlers of being a chucker.

Well the umpires reported him in the last game....

And he's acted like a right cunt in this game.

Got to say Butler was ****ing stupid today, got a warning about leaving his crease and then does it again.

Not great to see from a spectators point of view but he was daft doing it again after the warning

He wasn't trying to steal a run though, was he! No different to what any other batsman does every single ball.

[RichC]

Calm down treacle! As I said not great to see but he was given the warning and did it again, stupid IMO and hopefully he'll learn in the future.

Learn what? Not to do what every other batsman does for every single delivery?

[RichC]

If you're warned once about it then pay attention, it's not difficult is it.

[Buzzo]

Sri Lanka can probably think about taking their time a bit with 37 overs to get 155 runs.

3 down though.

[RichC]

They should cruise to this total, yet another poor showing from England.

[Shaggy]

Cook out

[RichC]

Be interesting who's fault it will be next

[captainfog]

I don't mind Cook and Bell being in the one day side, but they can't both open, especially if Root is going to bat 3. Get Hales in ffs!

[Shaggy]

Yep. Hales made a better-than-a-run-a-ball hundred for Notts today FFS.

[Buzzo]

Sri Lanka are making hard work of this.

[Buzzo]

Easy win in the end.
Sri Lanka arsed about for about 20 overs and then nailed it in the last few overs with plenty to spare.

[Buzzo]

Cook ****ed it a bit as well. Bopara bowled the 48th over.
