Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Well, on a positive note, a couple of Lancashire batsmen have remembers how to bat.
Croft and Prince have both made individual personal best scores for Lancs in first class cricket and have the broken the record partnership for Lancs against Northants - closing in on the all-time record 4th wicket partnership.
Oh - and Lancs have a fourth batting point, which hasn't happened very often this season (once so far? I think...)

Sri-Lanka 214-4, much better but far from decided. Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Oh, and the next time that a Man-o-the-Dales that says what he likes and likes what he bloody well says, interchangeable, bluff Yorkshire c*nt pisses and moans that Eddingly hasn't been awarded a test, remind him of the utterly embarrassing attendances there for this test. The c*nt.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Two wickets in consecutive balls for Plunkett, but he didn't get to bowl his hat-trick ball at the newby because the umpires reckoned that Prasad and Mathews had crossed, the miserable bastards. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to them. 278 for 7. Game on.

No. Like the man said, an intruiging test this that could go either way. My money's on us.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Interesting stat from the commentator:
"Sky tell me that on only three of 26 occasions when a team has been set a target of 200 or above to win a Test at Headingley have they achieved it."
Let's hope this is number four...

Sun out, pitch has gone dead and again our attack looks blunt.
I still don't see how we can not pick one proper spinner. Be interesting to see how Herath goes for them when bowling.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
We've got more or less a reversal of the first innings. Could do with breaking these two up pretty soon.

Though apparently he's a bad lad and Cook doesn't like him.

From what I can gather on 5 Live site updates, Mathews is batting like he's having a net. Brilliant.
I think it's time to look a the England Captaincy again.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
maybe.. but it'd difficult in this side to see who is such a sure bet that they'd be in the team on merit...
maybe broad or anderson?? though - neither has distinguished himself this year...
morgan's name is oft-mentioned - but he's by no-means a nailed on starter on merit..
anyone in mind bruce?

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I'd have thought Broad. And I'd even put Bell's name forward long before that of Morgan. But yes, difficult of course.thebish wrote:maybe.. but it'd difficult in this side to see who is such a sure bet that they'd be in the team on merit...

I also think it wants looking at for the sake of Cook as a batsman. No test centuries in over a year. Coincidence?

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I reckon they could do worse than Prior or Bell having a go. Not long ago Cooke and Trott were setting the world on fire. What happened?

A lead of 275. Can't be long before they chuck us in now. Tea perhaps? When is tea? Anyone know?
