i was very pissed when i saw that advert first time, it freaked me out a bit!

120-1 solid start, think we will need a big score, the bowling line up looks weak.

I think Hoggy will have a good game.......

Me too. but it is very good for the new person to cricket. After the Ashes last years cricket has picked up a whole new following & I think it is good to educate them. Yes, maybe it didn't need the cartoony type characters, but they do explain things well to the layman.

weathers atking a turn for the worse over the weekend so ill go for a draw. great start though.

I still think we should win, another 3 days to go and only 14 wickets to take, if the weather does take a turn for the worse, the overcast and gloomy conditions will suit our seamers and if and when we do get play ,the ball should be swinging around, I can see us skittling out the Sri Lankans for scores below 150 in both innings.

I've been in the car for the last 2 days listening to TMS. Am I alone in really hating the football style 'easy, easy' chants from the crowds? It's just not cricket....
