/cric/ ODI England vs Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka 127/1(18.1/42) vs England

K. Mendis 75*
D. Gunathilaka 48*

1st for Daniel

Are England good at any sport?

they're more than decent in cricket desu

Is this /bundes/?

1st for I tried to make this thread 3 hours ago but Sup Forums was being gay. also first for sri lanka scoring at more than a run a ball in the series

yes this is /bundes/

It's all good lad.Also the run rate is slowing down a bit

shitty fielding by England!

cricket is gay

93 mph from Plunkett!

so is scheizer porn but it's all good

so is anime

Honestly feel like this isn't gonna be a big enough score, they need 300 or england should chase it down. I think they said earlier in the game england's last 2 innings here have a combined score of 760 which is crazy, and the wicket is flat and fast, with boundries small and outfield fast

it isn't

Agreed. Honestly I think even 300 isn't enough( I doubt they would get there) due to the pitch being this flat.

trips confirms it, weeaboo!

What a crap ball.

5 overs left, 50 runs is enough to reach 300.
This should be doable I guess.

Boom.

...

444

Mathews smashing it.

still backing england to chase this down, wicket looks a belter, SL's bowling is shit and england bat down to 12

Why do umps look like they are ready for a yugioh battle now?

Even if Sri Lanka do get close, they will fuck it up for sure. Remember the 1st game? they fucking started celebrating before the last ball and thus giving away that extra run. Sri Lanka should have won that match. Utter stupidity!
>inb4 ban vs ind wt20 last over

kek!

>matthews practising throw-ins
he could have played for iceland in the euros desu

Sri Lanka had a decent football team a few years ago.

>my dick is this big

Why does Mathews sounds like someone getting ass fucked with a stump while appealing?

the root is loose

the way roy stands and holds the bat etc reminds me of the kid that would bat 9-10 in junior cricket. not terrible, but not good. would always practise but could never nail the technique properly. except he hits the ball so nicely and has scored international hundreds, obviously

>18 of 18

we'll see

why did ali open? i missed most of the 1st innings due to painting, is hales injured?

>is hales injured?
*back wiggle*

Is Roy a public kid or a state kid?

he's south african

>Having moved to England along with his family from South Africa when he was 10 years old, Roy was educated at Whitgift School and represented Surrey in age group cricket from U-11 through to Under-19 and Surrey Academy level.

Don't know about nationality but his cricketing upbringing was as English as it can get the way I'm seeing it.

Sri Lankan attack looks absolutely toothless!

>Sri Lankan attack looks absolutely toothless!

be as it may, 1 or 2 wickets can create that gate way to run rate pressure. It's still a good score.

SO how long till sri lanka start time wasting for the rain?

England needs to play 20 overs for it to be considered for the d/l method to come into play(I think). If Sri Lanka wanted to waste time, they should have done it from ball one.

It's already started fampai

yeah, but I gather he probably would have played for south africa if not for the quota system. A friend of a friend knows him, he has an old orange lambo he takes photos with all the time topkek.
they should have started straight away, if england reach 129/1 off 20 overs they win on D/L so it's ogre if it gets to 20 overs for sri lanka now basically

>yeah, but I gather he probably would have played for south africa if not for the quota system.

This. Why isn't this considered as racism?

>bringing on the physio

Any sri lankans gonna comment??
need to get that flag

good luck mate

Moeen Ali shouldn't have been brought back into the team.

There's no Sri Lankan posters on /cric/ but you could look in Sup Forums.

because they play it off as 'being representative of a multicultural nation' when they don't apply the policy to football, in which blacks dominate. they need to sort out infrastructure and get more blacks playing the game at younger ages so they produce better players, not shoehorning players who aren't good enough into the team.

leave Lakmal alone!

so another Zimbabwe 2.0 on the cards then?

potentially, if I remember correctly the white section of the south african government actually has a plan incase the blacks rise up to evacuate as much of the white population as possible before they get killed

Even if they were they wouldn't be posting right now.

Though to be honest Sri Lankan fans are the chillest fans in all of sub continent. No argument!

pretty much
once abdv, du Plessis and a small handful of others retire (in the next 3 years) we will be absolutely fucked

Is it really that bad? Zimbabwe has other issues which South Africa is not plagued with(Mugabe). It has a decent economy and is somewhat relevant in International politics. That should ensure a bit of stability, right?

England on cruise mode at the moment

>root

there goes Rooooooooootttt!!!!!!!!

fuck off

Roy on century watch!

You should probably ask the south african tripfag in the thread not me, i'm just going off half remembered internet articles and hearsay

where is bumble desu

my dad saw him at the races couple of weeks ago so i'm assuming he's just banging whores instead of working right now

good hundred from Roy that
England just need morgan to score some runs

Don't know desu. Listening to Bangla commentary

Did Morgan even go past double figures this series?

99 runs from 14 overs
should be pretty comfy lads

only batted once and scored 43
he was excellent last summer but had a pretty average/poor winter, although the team had success

looking pretty good now

he's so frustrating because he's doing well enough as a batter to just about keep his spot, and he's led the team so well and such a good fielder it would feel unfair to drop him
BUT
imagine an england team with buttler at 4 instead of morgan and a middle order of bairstow-stokes-ali-woakes that they could have without him, all that bowling and batting.

morgan would get in ahead of ali in all circumstances
thats as good a catch as youll ever see!

holy shit what a catch!

WHA DA FUUUUUUUUUCK

ali is actually ranked 10th in the world for ODI bowlers, his career bowling economy is below 5 which is mad considering he's played in so many high scoring games. problem is I want buttler higher up and morgan isn't going to move himself below buttler full time

chances everywhere

great catch

What the hell England!

77 to get from 60. This should be done and dusted

bairstow is absolutely murdering them with these 2s

problem is, his batting average is 26 and bowling average is 40, having an economy of 5 isnt really very useful when you aren't scoring runs or taking wickets

roys on 140, and theres still 6 batsmen to come, should be a cake walk

absolutely no intensity from the Lankan fielders in stopping those 2's.

They fucking need to stop those and start attacking to even go close towards a chance of avoiding humiliation

Roy on 148!

150 ROY

150!

England running on GOATwatch

Jason Roy on elite muscular GOATest of GOAT watches, thank you based south africa you don't even need good players anymore

the running has been absolute mustard from these two

beautiful running!

>thank you based south africa you don't even need good players anymore

kek!

*standing ovation*

5 points away, fuck sake

wut?

>Sri Lankan fielding

Roy was 5 runs away from being the highest scorer in a single ODI match for England. He's 2nd now.

>maharoof
what a dickhead

>not liking him just because of his stupid name
Fareeze mah roof

mankading is the ultimate cunt move
