Can't understand why they've just walked off, especially after what happened at Cardiff, the length of their tail and with Dilshan not being able to bat.

Disgraceful decision if you ask me. Another wicket and who knows what might have happened. As the commentators said you can come off at any time so surely it was worth a couple more overs, but it was obvious from the last few overs that they were in a hurry to get off. Yet again the paying spectator is short-changed.
 
Anyone hear Aggers' Johnners moment earlier. It was quality. He didn't have a clue until Vaughan started laughing.

Suggesting they missed a trick by not picking a swing bowler instead of Finn in the first place?

correct, which i was saying right from the off.

thought this england set up had a bit of a ruthless streak but instead they took the easy option and picked finn, and it proved costly as the attack was too one dimensional.

we also batted for around 50 runs too many imo.

we played some decent cricket but the decision making was poor for this test.
