Good competitive match so far, I hope SL wins and spoils England's hope of winning all six Tests for this summer.

A cutarse applied in "Text book style",mek dem swallow a bitter taste of defeat in dem backyard by the 6th placed test team.I couldn't help but notice their giant size 4 prong pacers strut about with their inflated machismo,giving the Lankan batsmen a fair share of intimidation with short pitchers,the Lankans fought it and punctured their inflated egos with a brilliant victory.They lost the series but I'll bet the happier team is Sri Lanka

Congrats to Lankans. Wish we could show that determination when we have a sniff at victory. We had it against England and Oz and both times the batting just came crashing down.

I think we must always have at least one solid batsman in the middle,we have De Silva who could occupy a higher position,maybe 2 such type of batsmen would help.Our cricket culture must chsnge and we'll get there.
