Got the 3 points that you expect. David Nugent nicking an international goal of a yid made it a night to remember...  |

Our suburban side would've held England 0-0 at HT with that performance. Absolutely appalling.
We flicked over to find out the Jocks score at HT and caught the last 5 mins of their 1st half. And it was being played at 5x the pace with passing that made ours look utterly embarrassing. And that was just from the Scots!!
Had to laugh after the 3rd goal though when the fans "We want our money back" chant changed to "We STILL want our money back!"

Why do people watch England they have been crap since 1966 and they are still crap, I would rather of played Andora than Dorcester. In the first half the statue of liberty would have shown more movement utter total bo**ox. The best thing I saw tonight was Malinga taking 4 wks in 4 balls.

Shouldn't that be 4 wickets in 4 no balls  What with his slinging style action. |

Just saw that on SSN. How the hell is that action legal???  It looks a bit ropey from a side view, but my god it looks even worse when seen from behind..... |

Technically the angle of his arm is okay, it's just more side on. Possibly straighter armed than Murali...

Apparently its a side arm action which was popular in the 1800s so has been seen before and is totally legal, but it does look like he is just slinging it bloody hard and fast, I would probably runaway |

There's no probably about it. I would runaway for sure! My first thought was that it's not a legal bowling action... shows what I know.
As for England, who really cares anymore? I was just upset that Andorra didn't nab a goal. Any idea what the posession stats were?

Horrible action to watch, must be awkward to bat against (as if I'd know !) , but totally legal as he has a straight arm. An extreme version of the way Jeff Thomson used to bowl.

The question I ask is, do the Sri Lankans breed bowlers with strange actions. When I first saw Malinga I thought, not another Murali, great bowling though!
I got in just in time to see the third goal go in, so I obviously missed the worst. Thank God for Stevie G!! I then switched over to see the third and forth wicket mentioned above! No really a bad quarter of an hours sport!!
