Lula, thx for the Singhe jokes. Hope to see more of same.
Bonggo; If only SL had batted the same in the 1st innings. Great innings by Captain MJ but one has to give credit to Mahroof as well. Played a great knock. The six he hooked to reach his 50 was a treat. Hopefully SL will get a lead of 150 & who knows an inspred Mahroof will take 5-6 quick wickets & Sri Lanka will win by 21 runs. I know its wishful thinking but, stranger things have happened in Cricket .. & for a change it would be nice if it did happen to Sri Lanka. |

| One of the few memorable occasions it happened was in 1981 when England, following on beat Australia and guess who was the hero! |

| Bongo.... I think it was Bob Willis with a magical figure of 8 for 43....right?. Well, if Dilshan gets to a centure and others chips in, we should have an interesting finish. All credits to Sanga, Mahela and Mahroof. |

Mimsie: yes Bob Willis was the destroyer but Man of the Match was none other than Ian Botham. It was his 145 in the second innings that saved England from an innings defeat.
We are depending on Dilshan for a century but at best it will be a draw for us. |

Bongo: The SL first innings was -removed-ed by Kertsen and the second innings by Alim Daar on Mahela's caught behind. It might be part of the game but the decisive factor of any match is now purely in the hands umpires than the players who toil in the field. The talents and the sport itself becomes a joke, isn't it. And we as spectators merely loose interest too. The saying 'its not who won, but how one played the game' should now be read as 'its not who won, but how one won the game'.

Mimsie: Its not about who won the game but how the 'umpiring' was done.

And about Umpires....
Mrs Jones : I'd like my son to be excused playing cricket. I don't think he should mix with that sort of person.
Teacher: How d'you mean?
Mrs Jones: Well; I distinctly heard him say that the man in the white coat was a vampire!
And another:
'I can't understand it,' said the captain. 'It was such an important game that I bribed the umpire and yet we still lost.'
'Terrible, isn't it,' a bowler agreed. 'It's getting so you can't trust anyone.'

And we hope this happens to Englands 2nd. Innings...
distraught woman rushed into a Police Station claiming she had been raped.
The Desk Sergeant calmed her down and asked her to provide details. She told him that it was a man of average height dressed in white and that he was wearing protective pads on his legs and forearms, additionally he had on a helmet and gloves.
'That sounds as if the man was a cricketer' observed the policeman.
'Oh yes he was' replied the woman, 'and what's more he was an Englishman'.
'I suppose you guessed that because of his accent ' said the Sergeant.
'No' the woman said, 'it was because he didn't stay in very long.'

And another for playing cricket at Lords....
An expectant father rang the hospital to see how his wife was getting on.
By mistake he dialled the number for Lord's.
'How's it going?' he asked.
'Fine,' came the answer, 'We've got two out already and hope to have the rest out before lunch. The last one was a duck. |
