Watched IPL after a long time… Sri Lankan bowler Pathirana … super slinger like Mahalinga. Very strange side on action

I'd say his arm is a bit higher than malinga's. You'd be hoping he misses the stumps for the first few whilst your trying to figure out where it's coming from. ?
It must be very, very strange to face. I'd agree entirely with your comment. Bowl it straight and full first ball and he will get a hat full ?

Isn't that slingy action due to playing with taped tennis balls on a beach? The lower trajectory makes it zip off rather than dig in

So, no red ball cricket now until England play NZ on 2 Jun. NZ do however, have a match against a County Select side - not hard to see who will be better prepared for the opening Test

You might think that this is one of the easier lessons to learn. Turns out we keep getting it wrong!

Fantastic game of cricket between Lanci and the ‘other lot’ from over The Pennines. Lanci dropped 2 easy chances, 1 dubious decision for a no ball which cost 2 runs, well 3 actually. Brook and Canmore had an excellent partnership. Looked all over with 1 needed off last ball and Brook was out LBW.
Great game and fair result in a tie.
Oh and Darren Gough has had a few pies!
The lady commentator would not shut up. seem to recall somebody saying something similar about Gower. Bring back Richie.

Hmmm... On the other hand, by the point of that perfectly correct no ball call, Lancashire had got away with at least three others... ?
In fairness, if games like that don't draw people in to cricket, the game is screwed.

No real surprises and as per normal plenty ignored again
and I see Sky once again are not showing Blast games and instead repeats of IPL
Seems they have dropped 65% showing off the T20 blast games

Not sure if it is linked but you can watch almost every Blast game live on YouTube

Why one earth do we still feel the need to announce our XI the day before the test? Zero gain from doing so
Not seeing much of a reset either tbh, fragile top order, players out of position, heavily reliant on the middle order before a long tail. How many games before the scapegoat for us not scoring enough runs or taking enough wickets is the keeper?
Shame to see the greedy MCC/ECB having lots of unsold £150 a day tickets too!!!

Watch quite a few 20/20 on You Tube. Quite enjoyable but how bias are the local commentators.
Overall much better than it used to be but the live stream for the game I was watching packed in 5 minutes ago!
