    This is a better start. Positivity. Let's hope that we can retain some wickets and go hard towards the end.

    Too late!

    Every time I think I'll stick TMS/Sky on we lose another wicket. Sticking with the Episode 3 of The Continental instead

    Completely shot as a team, may as well fly them home after this game.

    They need to hang around as cannon fodder for the rest of the tournament. India and the Aussies must be licking their lips! Maybe we can cause an upset though :D

    The win percentage calculator fascinates me in its irrelevance.

    Currently SL have a 70% chance of winning, down from a max of 81%.

    I've watched this in some of the recent games. I'd love to know what the thinking is behind it's seemingly randomness.

    Any one know if you're allowed to concede in cricket?

    You could back SL now and get a 21% return, so anyone who thinks the win predictor is that wrong can make some easy money.

    Don't give up - England are up to a 13% chance of winning.

    Could be worse. At least we haven't got to play Australia or India.

    Oh.
    Hang on.
    We do.
    Oh what joy

    0.24% now. So you're saying there's a chance....

    Even at the margins it's nonsense. That's saying that one time out of 500, SL would not get 5 runs in 25 overs with 8 wickets remaining.

    TBF England have been 500-1 to win a game of cricket and they did. Headingly '81

    Still this was awful. No fight. No Plan. No chance.

    Didn't need to get Australia all out for 6, though, did they?
