(5) game ODI's England V SL in England 2014

[TheParraboy]

There is a 20/20 game on tonight between these nations, not bothering with a thread for that. The ODI series starts 10pm AEST on Thursday 22nd May. SL are probably the better nation in the short forms for the game, but being in England could level it out a bit

Sri Lanka won the hit and giggle by 9 runs.

I don't like T20 much, but oddly enough its refreshing to see a contest between two 'real' teams amongst the IPL.

 

[Timbo]

England are an ordinary limited overs side. My money is on SL.

But this is close to the worst possible thing for England - 7 tests against subcontinental teams who cannot play seam or swing bowling. They'll win all seven and beat their chests claiming their back only to run up against us next winter, and our blokes will be a lot better for the experience there last year.

Spot on, this is probably exactly what will happen.

When did England become so cocky? Probably 2005.
Loved watching them beat Australia then, couldn't stand them ever since.

Anyone know why this isn't on pay tv?

They usually do these kind of games.

 

[TheParraboy]

England won the 1st One dayer, reduced to 39 overs per side

Eng 6/247
Ballance, Bell half tons each
Jordon 38 from 13
Malinga 0/78 - 8 overs

SL all out 144
Tredwell, Jordon 3 wickets a piece

Jordon MOM

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Jordon is coming along nicely for the poms.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Poms disgrace themselves again by being bowled out for 99.
They lose the 2 ODI by 157 runs.

 

[TheParraboy]

They won the toss as well and looks like made the most of the conditions restricting SL to 256, LOL

Ben Stokes should be close to fitness and rushed back into the side

Though they do need batsmen. Cooky wasn't playing in this game, plus Trott and Pieterson wont be coming back. Massive holes in their top batting lineup

 

[Buzzard Breath]

They need a broom through the batting lineup, though at the moment there is not much banging on the door to get in the side.

 

[vvvrulz]

And now Sri Lanka get bundled out for 67 all out.
Wtf is going in this series.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Jordan starts again with 5 wickets.
SL out 67.
Eng win by 10 wickets.
This series is nuts, I hope the test series will be better quality.

 

[TheParraboy]

SL won by 7 runs in the 4th ODI

England won toss and sent them in


series is 2-2

 

[Buzzard Breath]

What a knock by Buttler, almost got home.

came in at 5/111 in the 29th over

yet again outlining the poms top order woes

 

[Twizzle]

and just how good their imports are

 

[Victorious Secret]

Sri Lanka win the fifth game to take the series 3-2

England 219 (48.1)
Sri Lanka 222/4 - win by 6 wickets with 10 balls remaining

Controversial moment when Jos Buttler was mankaded

Nothing wrong with it imo though

 

[Twizzle]

Should be more of it, the amount of batsmen that take liberties is just ridiculous.

Its covered in the laws of the game so really should be an issue.

 

[ek999]

Bowler warns him and he does it again straight away. Got what he deserved IMO. Vaughn isn't happy though
