I'm not sure of the logic of a part time keeper in a tournament where wickets at a premium.

Part time keepers are a pet hate - if you are a good enough batsman play as a batsman.

Assume Tommy has had some issues?

I've dumped Foxtel and not picked up Kayo, so am relying on you guys to keep me updated.

And it's nearly time for bed ...

I blame Alec Stewart for starting the trend…..he was a terrific keeper though

2 drops. One of them he gobbled a chance the very next ball.

Kind of Sri Lanka to agree to play T20 styles, in light of the weather forecast...!

Canerbry

Nothing fucks you more in the Fuckworth-Lewsless than losing wickets.

MajorRage

Worst. Review. Ever.

125 for 8 according to Google.

I'll take that at bed time.

See you on the other side. Fingers crossed.

Sri Lanka's form across this tournament has been ordinary so this is no surprise.

KiwiMurph

Rain still predicted so this batting may not yet be in vain

KiwiMurph

Ravindra gets the final wicket.

Sri Lanka all out for 171.

Bowlers have done the job. It's all up to the batsmen now

ACT Crusader

Good opening partnership to get us going despite Conway not dealing too well with Chameera, who finally got him.

Only 86 more to get and we have out two best bats out there in Kane and Ravindra.

ACT Crusader

Spoke too soon. Poor shot and timing by Ravindra.

We’ve lost two quick ones.

ACT Crusader

Sheesh that was terrible.
Chapman and Mitchell in a bad mix up and Chapman is run out.

It was Chapman’s call and Mitchell sent him back.

Chapman not a happy camper.

KiwiMurph

@ACT-Crusader it went behind square isn't that Mitchell's call?

That’s the non-strikers call, so Chapman.

Now Mitchell goes to a brilliant catch.

Ahh yes you are right. Just watched another replay.

ACT Crusader

We are losing too many wickets for a simple chase and target.
