That could have been very ugly if Sri Lanka had gotten about 50 more.

Cool man. I have a ticket for this Saturday, fingers crossed England are batting, I get to see KPP batting and Murali bowling.Pothas said:

Just as well a lot of yesterday was rained off really, England's best bowler over the past 3 SL innings (Plunkett) could come back today after his slight injury and polish them off before they had a proper lead.The Baconator said:
Three Durham players next Test presumably.

Intermittent Yorkshi*e threat versus consistent Durham threat... obvious choice really.steds said:

I take it Murali's doosra has been cleared like the rest of his repertoire?

What's that got to do with who has been the best bowler over the last 3 SL Test innings?marc71178 said:
Well played England on a well deserved win. The difference between this one and last one was that England held onto the catches that mattered in SL second innings this time around as compared to the many they dropped at Lords, for had they held onto those it would be 2-0 by now for sure.
The difference between the Teams is huge , but when England drop catches SL seem to be able to compete on Par with England.
Murali is the other factor that keeps this Team competing at the same level as some of the better Test playing Teams even occasionally and briefly ATM.

Who would bring in Bandara for Kulasekara at Trent Bridge?
Maharoof should not be playing Test Cricket IMHO . He is if anything an ODI cricketer at best. His scratchy batting does not make him a batsman and his bowling outside the subcontinent is absolute Trash .
But despite this Moody's perseverance of this guy is absolutely inexplicable. Kapugedera is atleast a batsman for the future and giving him opportunity at this level will be definitely worthwhile in the long term for the benefit of SL cricket. But Moody and the tour selectors feel they need to promote the mediocre Maharoof over others worthy of his position !! Very very Odd !!
The likes of Maharoof will not be even considered in Allrounder category in most Test Playing countries !!
Similarly Kulasekera's period in the Test Team must be coming to an end after this series.
Ruchira Perera (who missed this tour ) would have to be a likely returnee to the Test ranks .
