Sri Lanka 1st test

[glyn]

Hmm, Sri Lanka got more than might be expected in a first innings of a May test in spring-like conditions.

Cook off to another good start in reply though.

I haven't actually seen any of it, seems like Broad was undercooked and should have probably stayed at Notts for a while longer. Not like we don't have options.

Easy runs for Cook and Trott today

Rain delay again.

Strangely disapointing crowds in Cardif for this test. I guess there are plenty of reasons for that, long winter tour, disapointing World Cup by England, footie season only just finished.

Good to see us batting well yesterday.

Think Bell might be stuck at 98* looking at the rain outside my window!

 

[Billyjof]

Got his ton and then they declare.

43-6. Almost there.

Gutted, been in the loft for an hour and just got downstairs to check the score 'just in case' and look what's happened! Would have headed down there soon after the third or fourth wicket!

 

[Jeff]

All out, England win.

 

[glyn]

The kind of win the Australians would have pulled off over the last 20 years. Great stuff.

 

[Billyjof]

Still rubbing my eyes in disbelief.

Absolutely brilliant,
What odds would you have got on an England win at 2.30pm yesterday?

[Jeff]

it was 25/1

I read that someone on Betfair was offering 999/1. Sounds like bollocks though.
