31 May 11 - 06:45 AM (#3163017) Subject: RE: BS: Test Matches England v Sri Lanka From: MikeL2 hi Arthur With the weather as it was you would not be able to light up either...lol Like many I had stopped being interested in the game figuring that it would fizzle out into a squelching draw. I saw some highlights on TV and I couldn't believe the ineptness of the Sri-Lankan batting against what has to said was mediocre bowling - but great catching!! Wales in May could be thought to be very ambitious as a venue for cricket due to the prevailing weather. However they got a feak result !!! And the weather would probably have been worse had it been in Manchester. Cheers MikeL2 |

03 Jun 11 - 12:11 PM (#3164750) Subject: RE: BS: Test Matches England v Sri Lanka From: Arthur_itus Why don't we just slog another 200 runs and then get into them. I feel sorry for all the people who have paid good money for such a slow match and wasted time. |
