A kamala sounds like a variation on the arm ball developed by Jadeja over the last few seasons.

Screen grabs of Buttler saying 'Well done on double 100 much beauty batting you are on fire sir,' to Alex Hales from August 2017, and messages from Morgan and Brendon McCullum to Buttler the following May, the former commenting 'Sir you're my favourite batsman' and McCullum adding 'Sir, you play very good Opening batting,' also came to light.
I don't get it. what's wrong with them?

I guess, at a stretch, it’s mocking Indian phrasing. But this seems to be pearl clutching of the highest order. If it’s offensive at all it seems very, very mildly offensive at worst, the kind of thing where the sanction should be your mum’ll say “It’s a bit rude to parody people’s English when it’s not their first language - you probably shouldn’t do that” rather than getting a fine or suspension from the ECB.

I remember Christopher Lee telling of receiving a letter from a fan in Japan many years ago which read:
Dear Mr. Lee
I am your greatest fan in Japan - you truly are a terrible actor.

Isn't SL the kind of side you should expect fairly easy victory over?

yep, in the past, however present rankings have them quite a ways lower than England, in fact the lowest of all the bigger cricketing nations. That is if the rankings are to be trusted.

looks like a thrilling end to the England India ODI, not on TV here, but watching the ball by ball commentary on the BBC

England comfortably beat Sri Lanka again in the second one-day international at The Oval to clinch the series with a game to spare.

I know lady-cricket is sometimes mocked, but this has to be one of the best catches I’ve ever seen
