Talking To Both Captains
Mark Nicholas: "Well England have won the toss here so lets talk to Michael and see what he has decided to do.............Michael you've won the toss what are you going to do?"
Michael Vaughan: "Well looking at this pitch we have decided to have a bat, ermm it should do a bit on here later on and id rather be bowling last on this pitch, we only have one specialist spinner in the team but we have every faith in Gilo and if necessary i can also roll my arm over too (laughs)"
Mark Nicholas: "Yes Michael you've also got the world number 1 bowler in your ranks, but what everyone wants to know is what is your team going to be?"
Michael Vaughan: "Yes, we've got the same team really from the summer with Gilo being the sole spinner and 3 main bowlers in Harmy, Hoggy and Jimmy, we also welcome back Butcher and Thorpey to the team which is a huge boost"
Mark Nicholas: "Well good luck Michael its going to be tough"
Michael Vaughan: "Cheers"
Mark Nicholas: "Now lets talk to the Sri Lankan captain, Marvin, you've lost the toss how is that going to affect you?"
Marvin Atapattu: "Well, obviously I am very dissapointed but the pitch might just do a bit and I have every faith that my bowlers will do a great job on this pitch, we will just have to stick to it"
Mark Nicholas: "How about your team today Marvin, any changes from the previous series you just played?"
Marvin Atapattu: "No not really Mark, we played very well in the last series even though we only drew with Pakistan, we have a lot of batters in top form and obviously Murali could be the difference between the two teams today"
Mark Nicholas: "Well good luck Marvin today"
Marvin Atapattu: "Thanks Mark"
Mark Nicholas: "Well there you have it, England have won the toss here in Colombo and have elected to have a bat"
