England singlehandedly keeping Test cricket exciting then
This post greatly disappoints me
I still don't believe this:
Sri Lanka 400 all out (118.4 overs).
England 496 for 5 (155.0 overs) declared:
Cook 133
Trott 203
Bell 103
Sri Lanka 82 (24.4 overs):
Paranavitana c Strauss b Tremlett 0
Dilshan c and b Tremlett 10
Sangakkara c Strauss b Swann 14
M Jayawardene c Strauss b Tremlett 15
Samaraweera b Swann 0
P Jayawardene c Prior b Tremlett 3
Maharoof c Prior b Swann 0
Perera c Bell b Broad 20
Herath lbw b Swann 3
Mendis not out 12
Lakmal c Cook b Broad 0
Extras 5b 5
Tremlett 4-40 (10.0)
Swann 4-16 (7.0)
At this rate England will soon be the best.

How on earth did that just happen?! I went to a meeting a couple of hours ago thinking a stale draw and come back to this Saw a picture on Cricinfo of what looked like a 6-man slip - I don't think I've seen that since the Windies thrashing a few years back when Harmison had several people in the slips!

more duck than a chinese buffet. Is it a two match series? England can go second if they finish sl of next game. Its going to be a cracker agaisnt india.
Not as much as your average 10,000 run subcontinent bore draw disappoints me
Massive credit to Flower & Strauss, however rubbish the 1-day team is, this Test team has a huge amount of confidence and a bit of a killer instinct.

The last SL tour ended up as a draw:

This is despite SL being soundly beaten in the second match and a University Team drawing with them. Their one day side beat us by 10 wickets in the World Cup.
Instead of making predictions I am just going to follow the matches and hope for the best.
