Cricket discussions here.

Anyone watching the tri-series in Sri Lanka?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Are India going to screw this one up as well? Humiliating defeat at New Zealand last week, they're already 3 wickets down chasing (what should be) an easy total.

[Alee. 182]

Better then what Pakistan did, i bet.

Did very well against Australia, but then just screwed up against England - Its as if we dont know how to bat.

Starting to get back into the sport which is great, really enjoy watching it, especially the Twenty20 competitions.

[Alee. 182]

I think Twenty20s got alot of people back to watching it, especially in England i guess, with you guys winning the World cup and everything - Removes the image of cricket being a boring 5-day game.

India sure looked like they were going to mess it up again, but eventually won quite comfortable in the end. Sehwag to the rescue!

P.S. Every team has a won 1, lost 1 record now with India and NZL also having a bonus point. Sri Lanka are in trouble.

Pakistan's bowling attack did very well but England's reply through Broad and Prior was exceptional. 233 all out, with England more than capable of getting back at the crease before the end of Day 2.

Does England play anyone before the Ashes? We've got Australia straight after this ODI series.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

There's the Natwest Series against Pakistan prior to a couple of warm-up tests in Australia, then the Ashes!! :D

[Alee. 182]

I think Azhar Ali and Yousaf were superb today, really gave the English a good fightback, taking the lead, and capping it off with an early wicket when we went to bowl. I'd be happy to see us chasing anything under 200. Above that and we will have a game on our hands given our batting line-up.

Im getting tired of Test Cricket, we have a kick-ass ODI and T20 Team, Test Cricket just isn't our thing.

[Madmax 9,219]

I'm one f the few who hate T20s. Gimme Tests all day long.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

India make a sloppy start. Our batting's really bad of late, 71-5 after 22overs. Terrible!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

LOL it just gets worse and worse... 77/7
