Sounds like Hales is playing a one day innings at the moment 114 runs off 103 balls

145 off 118 now!!!

For a guy who hasn't hit a county century in god knows how long, good way to change your game plan and make it work!

Buttler out backing up too far. No problem with that from the chucker, he warned him a few times last over.
Takes a strong captain not to withdraw the appeal for that.
Don't think the England team will be too happy or the crowd!

[procricket]

Crap cricket poor at that standard very poor maybe the chucker should learn to bowl instead of chucking.

His was hardly stealing just backing up he naturally went hardly running down.

Within the rules they say shame his arm isn't

[roco]

Was bowler in his delivery stride?

Personally no sympathy non strikers are so used to just going as far down as possible they no longer pay attention to bowler

He warned him enough

[fasteddie]

Let's assemble an angry mob.

Can't believe that's happened in International cricket.

I'm interested in the reaction after the game of Sangakara and Jayawadener (excuse spelling).

Agree with pcB3 that he should learn to bowl first.

What's the betting he gets some short stuff when he comes out to bat?

[Stuey]

He defo wasn't looking to steal a quick single. I didn't see the previous over, if was warned previously I don't see an issue, but if he wasn't it was very poor from Sri Lanka.

[roco]

He was warned a couple of times

But for me he was in delivery stride so should have been not out

[procricket]

All opinions think it is poor if you can't get a batsman out proper and resort to that.

Doesn't help him being a vilan of the show as well.

Sri lanka play cricket this way and have done for a long time. Senior players like Sangakarra and Jayawarnde are no different
Sangakarra appealing all day long, bowlers chucking and bowling no balls so batsmen can't get 100's, yet they moan when a SL bowler gets accused of chucking.

Have to say fair play to buttler for just walking away with little fuss

and Sangakarra recently gave the 'Spirit of cricket' lecture.

[MD2812]

Sangakarra gave a lecture on spirit of the game at Lords last weekend......

[Stuey]

He was warned a couple of times

But for me he was in delivery stride so should have been not out

Have to agree, he tried it again and stopped as he was about to release the ball, that's not on!

[Kulli]

That was the import callander deadline ball.

[Sam]

Was perfectly acceptable for him to do so having warned him a couple of times beforehand in my opinion. Not much you can do from there onwards and Buttler probably should have been a bit more aware.
