Sri Lanka v England (2nd test) 22nd/26th Jan

[Salem Street South]

After years of supporting Sunderland , it’s hard to relax no matter how close you are to the winning post .

You’re not kidding

Congrats lad

Sibley the best

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Gritty innings that

 

[SAFC11]

Well batted Sibley. Stuck in when needed and on the back of struggling each innings prior

I think the only way to make it "fair" is to refer every appeal to DRS and hitting means out. However, it removes a great deal of the charm of the game by making an umpire no more than a hat stand. I wouldn't be in favour of that at all

The solitary England fan in SL - am assuming he must live there

You’d only be getting 70 overs in a days play if that were the case. It would become ridiculous.

 

[Bears Beets]

Never in doubt this, all plain sailing

 

[dixonsafc]

Superb finish lads. Easy work.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

That’s a brilliant win

Amazing stuff from England, the ball did naff all off the pitch for the first two days. The toss was a huge advantage and England managed to overcome it. I reckon you're looking at an innings victory if England bat first.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Good way to start the year!

 

[EchoMan]

When we were 5 for 2 in the first innings a win looked very unlikely

 

[SAFC11]

Good win, Sri Lanka need to learn not to waste their wickets though
