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

[Monument View]

Sibley gets 50 and England are cruising this now.
But to me watching Sibley makes watching paint dry an attractive proposition
Why the Sri Lanka’s didn’t crowd the onside and work out Sibleys limited technical nous I don’t know?
England win

 

[Jack Torrance]

Winning both games after losing the toss. Impressive performance, 5 wins in a row now in Sri Lanka

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

Didn't expect it to be all over today when I got up. Great performance.

 

[scotch]

Went to bed after our innings expecting to wake to sri lanka batting to find we were 22 runs from victory.
What a win, well done sibbers with getting runs and class from buttler

5 wins in a row in SL is a good run

He’s batted perfectly in this situation and been instrumental in winning us the test match.

I reckon knock these off 4 down. Hopefully do it without relying on Root

Not really blowing my own trumpet! Roll on India.

 

[TopCat]

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

Totally agree. Just offering an objective point of view

 

[scaly_piscine]

Unusual that all wickets were taken by seam first innings, and spin the second innings, with 3 different bowlers both times.

Near to unique I'd imagine.

He survived mate and stuck around when needed but he could easily have been given out three times and. the Lankans can feel hard done by that he wasn’t given out

 

[jaxaxe]

Embuldeniya really unfortunate to be on the losing side.

A magnificent performance from him.

 

[Salem Street South]

Great interview with Sibley that. Really pleased for him finally getting some runs and being there at the end.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

That's a very good win for England

 

[WCC]

Good win for England, that will do Sibley the world of good heading into India.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Hard to knock that, losing the toss in both games and winning fairly comfortably.

 

[mackembhoy]

love Buttler, great keeper and becoming a very good test Batsman

Yet he's offering Foakes his place for 3 test matches in the biggest series since the Ashes.

A place where he did well last time round as he's good player of spin.

Said like someone who doesn't understand the idiosyncrasies of test cricket. I do agree their field placings were abysmal like.

Given how hes played this series and his form, its crazy that hes going home.....imagine if foakes scores 3 100's....

What do the players do with the MOTM etc money they receive? Keep it? Donate?
