Wholesale Redskins Jerseys . Break out the
Brexit gags and wallow in whatever the Icelandic is for schadenfreude. England
really, really, really doesnt want to be involved with Europe in any way, shape
or form.What a time to be alive. Happily, for those of an escapist bent, the
nations cricketers have rarely had much need to engage with the continent - save
for their biennial ICC-tournament humiliations at the hands of the Netherlands
and Ireland, of course. But, when it comes to being upstaged by plucky islanders
who thrive on their underdog status, well, they more or less wrote the book.From
Sri Lankas maiden Test victory over England, way back in 1992-93, via Muralis
magic at The Oval in 1998, and a brace of infamous World Cup drubbings in 1996
and 2011, Englands cricketers have been taught the hard way never to make
assumptions about their pre-eminence.Sure enough, the trend continues in 2016.
Despite a record-shattering victory in the second ODI at Edgbaston, a
combination of an off-the-boil first outing at Trent Bridge and the onset of bad
weather in Bristol mean that England are just 1-0 up with two to play as they
prepare for the fourth match of the series at The Oval. Realistically, it is
hard to see any way back for a Sri Lanka side that has lacked impetus with the
bat and penetration with the ball, and yet we were making similar claims ahead
of their fightback at Lords in the third Test earlier this month - and that
didnt quite follow the presumed script.That said, it will take quite a collapse
in resolve from England to squander their hard-earned lead. Despite the early
loss of Alex Hales in their run-chase at Bristol, that target of 249 ought still
to have been hunted down with ease, following a middling batting display that
relied too heavily on two senior batsmen nursing injury concerns - Angelo
Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal - and seemed almost a throwback to Englands own
one-day batting tactics of the early- to mid-2000s, as they nudged ineffectual
singles and preserved wickets for a late onslaught that never entirely
materialised.There are still several untested elements to Englands line-up -
rain, coupled with that ten-wicket win in the second match, means that only
Hales and Jason Roy have had any meaningful time in the middle since the
lacklustre display at Trent Bridge that left them scrambling a last-ball six for
the tie. But with the ball, the addition of Chris Jordans death-bowling prowess
added an extra layer of impenetrability to a varied and incisive attack, in
which Adil Rashids legspin has been particularly hard to collar.If the rain
stays away, and theres no absolute guarantee of that, then England can expect to
wrap up the series under the Oval floodlights tomorrow evening, and raise the
spirits of the nation, once and for all. But there have been a lot of
assumptions flying around the country in recent days, and not very many of them
have come to fruition.Form guideEngland WTLLL (last five completed matches, most
recent first) Sri Lanka LTWWLIn the spotlightJoe Root, who swept the board in
Englands player of the year awards last month, barely put a bat out of place in
a stellar 12 months, up to and including the World T20 in India. But since the
English summer got underway, he has not enjoyed the most fruitful of
homecomings. Theres not been much evidence that he is out of form as such - a
well-crafted 80 in the second Test suggested otherwise - but he hasnt spent
quite enough time at the crease to be sure. Four single-figure scores and a
rain-aborted 11 not out at Bristol complete his seasons efforts. Hell want to
reassure himself, if no-one else, that he has not mislaid his touch.If Kusal
Mendis, at the age of 21, stores away the memories of this maiden tour of
England and cultivates them for future payback, then Sri Lanka are bound to be
well served by a rising star whom Kumar Sangakkara, no less, has earmarked for
great things. Hes managed three fifties on the tour so far, one in the
Headingley Test, another against Ireland, and the third - 53 at Bristol on
Sunday - which helped restore Sri Lankas impetus after the early loss of both
openers. There is plenty on which he can improve - in particular he was troubled
by Liam Plunketts lift and bounce and eventually caught on the hook - but his
willingness to front up has not gone unnoticed in adversity.Teams newsMoeen Ali
was rested in Bristol to make way for Jordans return, an understandable rejig
given his slight drop-off in form, allied to the fact that Rashid has added
impressive control to his ever-improving command of variation. The resulting
five-man attack offers pleasing variety to cover for the ongoing absence of Ben
Stokes and deserves another outing, although the unsettled weather may influence
the final selection. Theres little point in fiddling with the batting, seeing as
the middle order has had a solitary airing all series.England (probable) 1 Alex
Hales, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Jos
Buttler (wk), 7 Chris Woakes, 8 David Willey, 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Liam Plunkett,
11 Adil RashidSri Lankas patched-up batsmen were a qualified success at Bristol
- they managed to put runs on the board, even if their mobility limited their
reliability between the wickets, and both Mathews and Chandimal have been passed
fit. Dasun Shanaka replaced Suraj Randiv for their last outing and, despite
being the most culpable of Sri Lankas mis-callers, he is set for another outing.
Farveez Maharoof continues to be available despite a damaged finger.Sri Lanka
(possible) 1 Kusal Perera, 2 Danushka Gunathilaka, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh
Chandimal (wk), 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Upul Tharanga, 7 Seekkuge Prasanna, 8
Dasun Shanaka, 9 Farveez Maharoof, 10 Nuwan Pradeep, 11 Suranga LakmalPitch and
conditionsTheres rain on the radar for Wednesday afternoon, which doesnt bode
well given how torrential it has been lately when the heavens have opened.
Despite being a floodlit game, play has to get underway at 1pm due to local
restrictions on late-night revelry, which means - seeing as we are only a week
past the longest day of the year - the match is likely to finish in manageable
twilight anyway. The pitch itself has got a bit more grass on than expected,
according to Eoin Morgan.Stats and triviaEngland have some happy memories of
their last ODI against Sri Lanka at The Oval, two years ago this week. They won
a rain-dented contest by 81 runs on Duckworth-Lewis, with Root, Jordan and Jos
Buttler all making important cameos.However, it is a measure of the subsequent
upheaval in both squads that just seven players out of the 22 on parade survive
to this day. Morgan, who made 3, is the other England player to endure the
post-World Cup fall-out, while Mathews, Chandimal and Suranga Lakmal remain for
Sri Lanka.The Bristol wash-out means that England now lead by 14 points to 4 in
the inaugural Super Series, which they wrapped up with victory at
Edgbaston.QuotesThe first game was a kick up the backside, more than anything,
so bouncing back from that at Edgbaston I thought was brilliant, then backing
that up with our bowling performance at Bristol was also very good.Eoin Morgan
is pleased with how his team has responded after a sluggish start at Trent
BridgeThere are still two ODI games left, we still want to win those games. Its
1-0 so if we can do that, well win the series. Everyone is looking forward and
trying 200% at practice but we need to improve.It appears that Upul Tharangas
maths has a sunnier outlook than the British economy.
