Didn't Cook go for like 100 off 5 or something?Imagine being the two Bangladesh players who could claim they scored 91 off 30 balls and 66 of 16 balls against the touring England side.

What's funny is that if you take that into account, Cook's FC bowling figures are pretty impressive. Not including that, his average is about 16 and his economy is around 2.5.
I'm assuming that tour game got FC status though.
Looks like the SL team will be declaring soon, got a healthy lead.

Bopara unlikely to bowl in the test series because of side strain. guess it strengthens bresnan and patels chances although bopara still favourite and if he remains not out in this game it will be hard to drop him.
Bresnan did open the bowling in the second innings so there must be a chance they;re considering playing him instead of Bopara.
Prior motoring along is good news for the team.
and just as i type Bopara falls for 66 to leave the spot open.

Just 31* of 12 balls for Swann and England knock off 360 at 6 rpo. Bell still with no runs

There's no way Bopara should play if he's not going to bowl, IMO.

12 a side game, so no FC status.

Play Patel can bowl and isn't Bopara

This, always thought Patel was the better pick anyway. Impressive from England to chase down 360 in less tan a day but man what a absolute road. Poor Belly can't seem to get a break atm.

Could have just left it there really.

Still Bopara for me, neither of them offer huge amounts with the ball and Bopara is the better batsman imo. Patel's figures in this game 24-2-127-1 are not enough to convince me that his bowling is so much better than Bopara's that it's worth going for the weaker batsman. Of course the weaker batsman is all about opinions and if people do think Patel's a more accomplished man with the bat then fair enough.

Yes, calf injury. His future as a bowler is in doubt.

Unless I'm blind and cant see it, i don't think he's in. Oh I've just read he's replaced Matthews.

Ahh, sad stuff for Mathoos. He always gets injured.
