ICCCT- England v/s SL

A highly anticipated clash by Engish crowd because for once they beleive that their team is on a rise and I second that. Regardless of their performance tomrorow, I beleive english team is one of the stronger outfits in world cricket specially with Flintoff on the scene. I would love to see SL behinds kicked out of Rose bowl tomorrow.

Although Lankans are one of my favorite cricket teams, I am rooting for the English as there are 5 of them in my fantasy team.

Go England Go. Kick some butt.

England better beat WI with a century each by Trescothik & Flintoff. This is crucial for my fantasy points.
a 5 wicket haul by Hamirson will also help.

You should be barred from any cricket discussion.How could anyone like their ugly cricket.

You see this fantasy is so important to keep our interest in non-pakistani matches. Good job, f&b.

Ugly cricket?. Dude, these guys should get all the credit for making one-day cricket so exciting. Up until 1996, teams would start their onslaught only in the last few overs. The hitting in the first 15 overs is thanks to these guys... kaluwithrana and Jayasuria.

Nope...It was started in 1992 and with that Fat dude from NZL.I think someone started even before that. Giving SL credit for that is giving AL Gore credit for Internet.

They play ugly cricket ,they dont have single class batsman for whome you will spent $$ to watch, and they cant win anything outside subcontinent.

I don't care as much for this match, as long as Flintoff blasts a century along with Jayawardene :o and Harmison takes 5-10 wickets Haul :o , I should be fine :D

England 79-3 in 22 overs.

And Flintoff is just dropped. Could prove costly for SL.

I will explain it later. I also believe that they play ugly cricket and it has nothing to do with their physical appearance.
