Dickwella, the king of getting a start, ironically the only player not to reach double figures.

Don't forget he had to face our ATG spinner

One wonders how a team so fragile is even in the hunt for a WTC spot. Perhaps more proof that the WTC is somewhat Micky Mouse.

Brilliant unbeaten ton from Tickner, don't think he offered a single chance.

Lol such a weird scorecard.

I think it's also partly a reflection of the fact that England's mid-cycle resurrection came too late to boost them up to top of the table, but also totally crushed SA and Pakistan's chances of being in the mix.

SL in WTC:
2-0 vs Windies (home - 2 tests)
0-2 vs India (away - 2 tests)
1-0 vs Bangladesh (away - 2 tests)
1-1 vs Australia (home - 2 tests)
1-1 vs Pakistan (home - 2 tests)
They've been decent enough, but this series is their first outside Asia.

Yeah, when I saw the draw pre WTC I was picking Pakistan to possibly make the final.

Yeah Pak and SL both looked to have the most favourable draws. I thought SL would be too crap to make use of it - expected them to lose their home series against Aus and Pak but they drew both - so good on them. Nowhere close to being one of the best two teams in the world though.

Should bowlers be allowed to kiss the ball if you can't use saliva to shine it anymore?

Pakistan of course took the option of trying to draw all their series before they had even started.

We accept in white ball tournaments the two best teams can get knocked out early so I'm fine with it in WTC. It's a fair enough opinion now to pick Aus or India as the best even if they miss out on the final. WTC finalist is a good indicator of who has played well for 2 years.

Yeah it's obviously fine that the best team doesn't always win every tournament, as long as we recognise that they aren't necessarily the best after they win as well.

Still too much trash in between the good ones, but this is the most threatening Rajitha bowling I've seen, in that he's moved a few off the straight and beaten the bat. That's off a low base though, as he was dreadful last time he played NZ (just checked and was 2 tests without taking a wicket).
Meanwhile Asitha's best chance looks to be a strangle down the legside.
