Re: Cricket
Somewhat remiss of me not to post the situation at stumps yesterday
First Test, Lord's
England won the toss and elected to bat
England 318/3 (Trescothick 106, Cook 89, Pietersen 54no; Muralitharan 2/69)
Stumps, day one

First Test, Lord's
England 551/9 dec. (Pietersen 158, Collingwood 57)
Sri Lanka 91/6 (Jayawardene 40 no; Mahmood 3/9, Hoggard 2/14)
Stumps, day two
Sajid Mahmood helped destroy Sri Lanka's top order. Sajid who? Exactly. England have more than the 12 who won the Ashes last summer to call upon nowadays.
However, Michael Vaughan's comeback from his chronic knee injury has been delayed again.

Re: Cricket
He's a seamer. He bowled pretty well - quick and got some reverse swing, though it's fair to say the Sri Lankan's aren't much good.

Re: Cricket
England failed to snare the last 4 Sri Lankan wickets on the final day.
Poor fielding & bad light combined to allow Sri Lankans escape with a creditable draw.

Re: Cricket
Funny how all the press about Mahmood being an absolute gun disappeared overnight.
Flintoff's captaincy has been brought under question. They wont want to play the Ashes with him as captain IMO. Great player no doubt but a way to go to be a good captain.

Re: Cricket
English captain Michael Vaughan has been officially ruled out of the upcoming Ashes series due to his troublesome knee injury continuing to plague him.
Big blow for the Poms and great news for Australia.

Re: Cricket
With all that and losing the one dayers against Sri Lanka 5-0 they are in disarray.
And Jones is of course also as good as out. Flintoff has continuing worries and Giles is yet to play this summer (not that we worry about him too much...).Tigers of Old said:
