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

International Captain
Very hard to dispute that. Lawrence you can sympathise with as he's a fish out of water. The other two have been just daft. They say that you should get at least 3 wickets if you put the oppo in. Minimum job done from Sri Lanka.
SL bowled first because this top 3 is so flakey and they've been vindicated.

Lawrence - I reckon they've asked him to him open because an actual opener coming in and scoring a boat-load would give them a selection headache.

International Regular
Not a great session for England but at least they have a few of their most sensible batsmen left in Root, Smith and Woakes.

I wouldn't call Brook sensible at this stage of his test career but he could be quite damaging if he can get going after lunch.
