***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

[Silver Silva]

Surely even Sri Lanka should be able to win this test from here, 125 runs with 9 wickets in hand on a 4th day pitch should be a walk in the park for them.

I hope so ! It's never nice losing 3-0 as New Zealand found out at the start of Bazball era

Much needed corrective from Sanga after the English comms spent about half an hour bashing Mathews, who may not be in an all time SL XI but isn’t far off it.

Constructive criticism >> the usual inoffensive fawning.

Mathews and Karunaratne have let the team down bad in this series , no hiding from it ..

2 50's from 12 innings for the most experienced pair is poor returns.

Dugout should be feeling a bit more relaxed now that Nissanka has almost taken the game away from England.

England without Ball change tactics

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...nka-19th-match-group-1-1298153/full-scorecard This one here. Sri lanka had something like 5 bowlers get injured up to this point. During the first ~10 overs thepacers they picked had warner, finch and marsh in all sorts despite b Fernando getting injured one over in.

I’m seeing Oz win in a canter and two of their three wickets lost falling to spinners.
