**Official** Sri Lanka in England / Scotland - 2011

YAHOOOOOOOOO

Incredible, and even more incredible, Knight still criticizing the declaration

Can't remember such a more unlikely win in a Test match ever. People just assumed this would peter out to a draw. Maybe that's the mentality that Sri Lanka had too and just switched off mentally?

Great bowling by Tremlett and Swann though.

I can take losing to a better England side, but losing this way sucks

Negative captaincy in England's 1st innings and gutless showing today.

 

[Jono]

Congrats England fans. So thoroughly deserved.

 

[TopCat]

That was a fantastic aggressive bowling performance by all three bowlers. Outstanding England, just outstanding!

YAHOOOOOOOOO

Incredible, and even more incredible, Knight still criticizing the declaration

THe result doesn't change the poor decision

We can now also remove The Day That Must Not Be Named as the worst batting performance by a top side vs. this English attack.

But that was a seriously professional display. An object lesson in why some rate them world-best, tbh.

Astonishing. But strangely always on the cards. This is test cricket.

 

[Fusion]

What an AMAZING victory for Eng! Mega kudos to them and congratulations to their supporters.

 

[GIMH]

Believe the truth people. We're ****ing awesome.

 

[Isura]

In 50 years people will see this scorecard and assume it was a sticky wicket

Bowled out in under 25 overs by a 3 man bowling attack missing it's main strike bowler though. Oh dear! Pitch was still pretty decent too.

If your three bowlers bowl that well, you don't need a fourth. Incredible to think this was done without their best bowler.

Game. Played England, did I ever tell you how much I loved you? :3 haha! Test > Nick Knight. Swanlett and Trem played amazing. Was not expecting that. Everyone now must agree that test>odi.

 

[Spark]

How daft do those folk on cricinfo saying "nah, just keep batting!" look now...

 

[kingkallis]

This SL team under 'DILSHAN' is capable of doing SPECIAL things

 

[Blaze 18]

What on earth...?!

Congrats to our English posters. Gutted I missed it.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

If you had told me at the beginning of the day's play, once it finally started at 3:00pm local time, that England were going to bowl out Sri Lanka and win by an innings, I'd have laughed in your face.

Wow, just wow.

 

[Jono]

Someone tell me a more unexpected day 5 result. I cannot think of one.

 

[keeper]

Bloody hell. Popped out for an hour and been seeing carnage unfold on my phone. Excellent stuff by England but truly woeful by SL. Was tea the longest period without a wicket falling?
