| Rain looks like it will save England from defeat,not that it really matters as the series was lost a long time ago.I don't know what this will do to the test rankings but all i do know is that England have been well outclassed by Sri Lanka in this series.
Congratulations to Sri Lanka who thoroughly deserve their series win and they are rebuilding their side quite well as Vandort looks a solid longterm replacement for Attapattu as an opener and Welegedera looked more than useful on his debut and is set to be a like for like replacement for Vaas longterm.Murali will continue for a while yet and they have 2 class act bats in Jayawardene and Sangakkara and one of the best keepers around in Jayawardene.All in all they have the makings of a decent side for a few years to come.
As for England it isn't quite back to the drawing board but they have some serious issues to sort out,mainly the bowling and fielding. |
