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. |
Pretty pathetic and even more humiliating than defeat when you require rain to save you.
I could pick 11 another posters from this forum and captain the team to a rain saved draw in "Galle"
My squad might have even made more than "81" in the first innings with lots of improvised stroke play top and bottom edging the ball to places in the feild that seldom usualy see much action or feilders.
And the surprise and shock of our bowling attack getting the ball on target after multiple wides and full tosses will surely get us a few wickets.
