England 54/1 after 10 overs

 

Laughable...coming off for bad light...****ing joke!

 

Dear cricket fan, come along,pay your £100+ a ticket, and get pissed on! Yours sincerely,ECB.

 

Umpires taking players off because they're protecting themselves against possible legal action by a player who may suffer an injury.
What have we allowed ourselves to come to?

 

England going well here

120/1

 

Haway Root lad. He's got Sangakara and Cook in his sights

 

Vaughan and Cook spoke well about it on TMS - albeit Cook's idea was to "sign a waiver and just get on with it"

 

Wood out for the rest of the year with an elbow injury

 

Real shame, but not in the least bit surprised.

 

Brainless batting here from England.

 

Just seen the Hull dropped catch

 

Indeed. Won’t judge him on it though. Seen top cricketers do as bad

 

Moeen Ali retires from international cricket.

Play just resuming now

 

FFS, turn it off as its raining, turn it back on, its sunny and raining and they are off again

 

England 5 down.

 

Where is the common sense with umpires? SL keeper injured. Needs treatment. Spends about 15 minutes getting treatment and getting off the field.

Start playing again, 5 minutes later take a drinks break? Utterly ridiculous

 

Jamie Smith looks a cracking cricketer

 

Not watching, just checked the latest scores

WTF

 

Arrogant nonsense from England the last 2 days. Sri Lanka will win and will deserve the win by playing proper test cricket

 

I know these things often get rescued at the last minute but currently there are no broadcasters wanting to show the Pakistan - England test series in October.

6am starts with 1pm finishes so its not like its overnight.

Sky, TNT and Channel 4 have all declined to bid and said they won't due to the costs of putting in the right production.
