I think it's time to draw a line under Dernbach and Bresnan.

[Colhint]

yup

[PaulWinch again]

I know people defend Dernbach by saying when he bowls. However for a man who is apparently all about variations, he's had plenty of time to perfect his art and he hasn't. He isn't good enough and that wide followed by 6 sums him up.

[PaulWinch again]

Great penultimate over from Jordan.

[Dr Butler]

it's allright...Bresnan is on to bowl the last over....just when we need a very tight over..

[Dr Butler]

16 off the last over....190 to win so got to bat extremely well...the Slinger will murder them

[PaulWinch again]

Absolutely diabolical from Bresnan. He is fucking uselss, as is Dernbach and neither should play for England again. Bresnan's bowling has clearly gone since his elbow problems. Short of a miracle we have no chance.

[olaftab]

England can do 190 however conditions and batting second under lights means not likely.

[PaulWinch again]

Well Sri Lanka have never lost scoring 160 +. England have massive problems, the fielding was a disgrace. For 'front line' bowlers Bresnan and Dernbach regularly turn in woeful displays. England's best ODI bowler recently has probably been Bopara and he doesn't bowl an over.

indeed strange that Ravi did not get a bowl, Collingwood is the England fielding coach, which after seeing their fielding display certainly surprised me.

[olaftab]

I am sorry but Broad is out of his depth. His bowling selections were poor and ending with Bresnan WTF.

Batting 2nd in these conditions is probably beneficial as the dew increases and the ball comes onto the bat a bit nicer.

The reason we won't do it is because we are shit.

[PaulWinch again]

As I say it's time to end Bresnan's England career. They ended Pietersen's and frankly Bresnan's performances over the last couple of years have been fucking awful on the whole.

[Dr Butler]

Lumb gone 0/1.....

[PaulWinch again]

What a start, 0-1 off 5 deliveries. English cricket is getting back to 90s standards at the moment.
