Tour of Sri Lanka

I can see why Watling doesnβt get picked for shorter forms. Bloody frustrating watching him unable to lift the run rate. Great innings but we need runs to save this series and blocking when they were going to stop for light at any time...Didnβt really farm the strike to CDG either.

Karunaratne and Dickwella are both struggling with injuries and they've been two of Sri Lanka's best. If we can get a full day's play in we're half a chance.
Been a funny series, where we've probably been the better team most days but Sri Lanka have had two really good innings that made the difference.

Now its 4 down. We will hit the wall soon and they will dig in
Maybe.
I'm not sure modern cricketers are good at batting patiently for time any more. Slow scoring seems to put them into an uncomfortable mental situation.

I agree. Our bowlers suck, the pitch is dead, and it'll be a soulless draw marked by dropped catches and umpires refusing to give anyone out.

In general I agree with you. But Karunaratne (just come to the crease) is coming off a beautiful patient knock in these conditions. Maybe his injury will hold him back.
