**Official** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2016

[Burgey]

Sri Lanka bringing their usual away game on tour again. Always makes for a less than compelling summer when they're around.

They beat us last time they were here. In one of the more exciting ends to a series in recent years.

Given us more of a game as a tourist than most Aussie sides of recent years. Maybe not this week but last tour for example.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Test Cricket in May in England, particularly at Headingley, is just a bad idea. The whole match was thoroughly predictable. (Except for Alex Hales passing 80.)

Time you get some new material Burgey, you can't even beat RTB in BOTM now.

Anderson turns 34 in a couple of months. Insane to think about what he's doing.

ffs Burgey I agree with you and have been bagging Lanka on here too for their **** performances but even though you're old surely even you can remember they won here on their last tour!

fool!

That Pradeep dismissal though, I don't even think Phantom missed one by that much in his career.

 

[artvandalay]

Clouderson being in his element under clouds, what's new?

 

[StephenZA]

I am so very disappointed in SL right now... the only cricket I can watch today is IPL...urhgg...

At least the French Open starts today.

Care factor may be a tad low

In others news, Freddie is retiring from Test Cricket, what a season Fernando Torres had for Liverpool, and will Gordon Brown do all he can in the next year to keep power in next year's election?

I like the look of League One champions Leicester. Could go far.

Haha was about to post a 'my time machine worked' gag.

Yeah but that Nigel Pearson bloke is a bit intense.

Yea but Sanga was playing then to make up for two other failures. SL batting is straight garbage now.

That doesn't make Burgey's post any less wrong.

Kusal Perera called up to Sri Lanka Test squad as Dhammika Prasad replacement | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Nah I stand by that comment. How many people look forward to a SL tour of their country to provide a thrilling cricketing contest? It's like expecting Australia to do well in India. It doesn't happen.

I think for Asian teams going to England at this time of the year it's imperative to play enough warm up games to acclimatize properly to the conditions. It's hard enough as it is with an inexperienced batting line up.
