| Bit of a difference between KP and Nasser in height.As usual you are commenting and slagging people off when you haven't even seen it yourself,no point changing the habits of a lifetime. Remember on radio they criticise every single minute detail of any dismissal,by the way they talk nobody should ever get out and they are the greatest players ever.  |

| Tricky one Greg. Pietersen's dismissal reminded me very much of the way Vaughan got done by Lee and McGrath a couple of times in 2005. Sure, the ball kept low, but he probably should have been forward. There was a look of shock on Pietersen's face which probably wasn't merited and was identical to Vaughan's in 2005. It was a very very difficult ball to play but not, in my opinion, unplayable. |

| Well played Matt Prior - that was a great effort. I'm not a fan but credit where it's due and for the first time he has suggested he can handle tough situations. His keeping has been exemplary in this match as well. Still far from convinced in the long run however. |

| Well batted Prior but i doubt it will be enough now the tail is exposed to Murali. What a bowler Murali is,Bell was stuffed all ends up there,can't have a go at him though as he has been one of the few England players who can hold their heads high in this game. Well done Sri Lanka on a super victory after being 50-5 on day 1. Last edited by greg : 05-12-2007 at 10:54 AM. |

| Unfortunately when, and I think its when rather than "if" we lose this match nobody will comment on how good that innings was. I'm really wishing we'd picked Swann now !

| Malinga at this stage? Does that not risk a light appeal? With Murali back on the ball, I think it is worth any slow bowler at the other end to keep going as long as possible. That way, Murali keeps coming back on more quickly. |

| That is the thing,whoever is England keeper as soon as they make a mistake then Rachael will be in with her digs about Read.No doubt the reason we are set to lose this game will be down to the fact that Read and Ramprakash aren't playing. |
