Anybody else watching it? Strauss was looking awful

low bounce on the wicket..

Not a great track.  220 will be a good score.

murali hasn't bowled yet... controversial!

[rp27]

haha, i don't understand why they can't bowl with a normal correct action, the way things are going, all subcontinent bowlers will be chuckers

[Jeet]

Nothing wrong with Herath's action

Herath's not a chucker, silly thing to say. His action is clean.

Loving Dilshan's beard!

I'm going to experiment with that tonight!  would suit you Brimble!

Haha the whole bent arm thing made me go back to Ian Ponts fast Bowlers Bible....not to do with spin but pace....he reckons you can walk 6 paces, throw the ball with a 15 degree bend in the arm, and achieve speeds of 90mph....haha interesting....anyways back on topic, don't have it on TV just watching live updates on cricinfo.....is the deck dead, are sri lanka bowling awesome, or england just can't hit the thing off the square?

when herath bowls the doosra his action changes, and he chucks it

He doesn't, I'm watching it. It's not a doosra anyway, it's a carrom ball like Mendis, which means that no discernible change in arm position is needed. He genuinely doesn't throw/chuck it.

[Jeet]

He bowls a carrom ball where he flicks his wrist, like Mendis. Clean action. Murali on the other hand...

[rp27]

hmm, fair enough, i'm probably wrong, i just get fed up of these dodgy actions
