England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

atm sl are the favorites but england i think can pull this one if they could build some p'ships

Maybe last summer's team but not this shell-shocked one. One will bring plenty.
Would be nice to see us reach 250 but we definitely won't win.

 

[swacker]

Oh well, the spinners are on, was good while it lasted!

 

[Rohit Doshi]

One down 9 more to come

whatever the series outcome may be(if England lose) we will have a new Number 1 test team and it will be South Africa

You're aware that's an oxymoron right?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Yes

I actually meant to say If England lose today we will see a new number one ranked team that is South Africa

 

[Haarithan]

As long as Strauss retires from Test cricket, I'm game for an England loss now.

Strauss
yet another England batsman getting themselves out.

to come down the wicket but still be so far away from the pitch of the ball is shocking.

If England get 200 here I will be astonished.

They would need to lose the series for that to happen. If it is tied 1-1 they stay number 1.

 

[Paki007]

struass goes! They are in big trouble.SL now are really taking this away from Eng

He'll be fine come a home series and pace bowlers...

Nope, even if England have a tied series 1-1 they and Africa have same points but S Africa edge ahead on the basis of match points

 

[swacker]

Strauss gone now to a shocker of a shot. His captaincy is keeping him in the side at the moment, how long can that continue?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

also Dilshan is really looking the man of the hour tbh Although Herath has picked up wickets Dilshan has supported very well and built on the pressure

What's your source for that? My information is different.
