Pieterson nay Haharoof to Piet Piet kay uska Petha bana diia
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
87.6 Maharoof to Pietersen, 1 no ball, Bangs it short and it rears up outside off, Pietersen initially shapes to pull but at the last minute, changes his intent and lets it go.
87.5 Maharoof to Pietersen, no run, Outside off, but no so wide this time, but wide enough for Pietersen to shoulder arms 87.5 Maharoof to Pietersen, 1 wide, Arrgh! Really wide outside off, must have slipped out of his hand and Umpire Dar extends his arms
And the roller coaster continues! :)

Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15

Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
England is in a very strong position.
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord’s May 11-15
And Pakistan is in trouble :no:
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
oh crap there back in form
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
I am certain to believe that if you would start the First Test Match thread between Pakistan and England, things would turn around in no time.
Although things have already been turned around as it is, and I say we stick to your other thread. At least the entire UK will now be able to sleep in peace. :p
:D
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
oi and the the entire usa will sleep in peace to knowing there will be a sticky thread to wake up to with multi coloured oh wait i was banned from doing that ummm a style of writting.
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
Sorry it was not a style but a way of misusing your keyboard:p
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
Man is this Sri Lankan team listless or what, they're playing like a bunch of zombies. All the pacers trundling in at 70 mph and even Murali is missing that characteristic spark. I am certain the batting will be just as ordinary.
In a way this is good for Pakistan, nothing like lulling the poms in a false sense of security and then WHAM. :D
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord’s May 11-15

@ trundling. Seriuosly Sri lankans can not become a seriuos challengers away from home until they stop relying on Murali. He is a legend but thats about it. They have hardly won anything without any contribution from Murali. Even vaas has won them at the most 3-4 matches in his so called illustriuos career.
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
Any guesstimates as to what would be England's choice of total on this pitch?
Should England declare before Murlitharan achieves his quota of 5 wickets? :p
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
England have declared at 551/6 after Murlitharan had a long day at the office -
140.6 Muralitharan to Flintoff, SIX, tossed up on the leg and middle stump line, Flintoff moves across and hoicks imperiously over long leg!
142.6 Muralitharan to Flintoff, SIX, down the track and heaved over midwicket. Super shot for a six and Flintoff has a chat with the umpires. England have declared!
England = 551/6 (143.0 ov)
RR = **3.85
**
At least now there is a chance for Sri Lanka to be bowled out in the next two days leaving two more wickets to go on Murlitharan's record at Lords. A whole day would be enough to achieve that, I'd think. :p
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
Mubarak ho mian, Bhai Mubarak aagaye hain apna account kholnay.
0.1 = Hoggard to Mubarak, no run, starts off with a good length delivery outside the off stump, a gentle loosener, Mubarak leaves it through to the keeper
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
Mubarak gone on 0, Hoggard strikes.
Re: England v Sri Lanka - 1st Test Lord's May 11-15
2.1 = Hoggard to Mubarak, OUT, Hoggard strikes early! good length delivery, pitched outside the off stump and swinging in, too good a delivery for Mubarak, he plays down the wrong line and is trapped plumb in front, Sri Lanka one down
Humsey Mubarak-baad liyey baghair hee wapis chaley gaye? Ab yeh to insaaf nahin hua naa inkay saath.
