    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

    Good stuff from Bresnan... here's hoping they have a bit of a collapse. It's probably just the matches I've happened to see but I don't get what's meant to be so amazing about Matthews.

    The England players really do hate Nick Knight. Is it just because he's rubbish, or did he actually say something to upset them?

    5th on the England wicket-taking list now. I really do love that he's going to put some air between himself and Hoggard/Harmison/Flintoff. I don't know why, but I feel a lot more affection for him than for those guys... despite how excellent they could all be at times. Perhaps it's because it...

    This is England... make that 150.

    Sigh, Grieg on. Time to go and get breakfast.

    Oh Jimmy :wub: What an awesome start, yet again.

    Ta. Will be cool to see how Pattinson goes, could get a load of wickets and it'd set him up nicely for the future.

    I'm feeling fairly confident for tomorrow... our batting looked a lot better to me than in the UAE, basically Strauss (who hasn't been great for a while) and KP (could easily just suddenly smash 150) as major worries. Mind you, Broad gone is massive.

    I got a bit lost with what was going on over the winter. What's Australia's first choice attack these days?

    What worth are rankings anymore?

    Australia?! We haven't won away from home since we went to Bangladesh, and yet we were all over them. Prank team IMO.

    I'm still hoping for Bresnan and Finn, and Monty to go out too. Don't think it will happen though.

    What worth are rankings anymore?

    The test number 1 ranking is more clear cut when someone is some distance ahead... at the moment there's three good teams (England, India, South Africa) and Pakistan and Sri Lanka are also pretty dangerous at home. It just means the ranking will get passed around for a while I reckon.

    Urgh, nightmare. Finn to step up? Really annoys me from the batting point of view, I like the look of things so much more with Broad in there.

    Will Graeme Smith claim another victim?

    Think Smith may well claim Strauss as well. Just shows what an incredible captaincy career Smith has had, who'd have though it when he arrived in 2003 and we had nfi who he was. The first test against England will be his 100th, and it'll be his 92nd as captain!

    Patel's a batsman who bowls a bit as far as I understand it. It's not really relevant to Monty's place in the team in the long run. Monty has to hold his place vs. Bresnan/Finn, Patel vs. Bopara/AN Other.

    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

    Yes, but at some point you have to say Monty's fielding isn't good enough. I do feel sorry for him because by all accounts he's worked pretty hard at it, and I did hope he'd not be so bad this time around. Monty's not that good a bowler that things like this can be ignored forever.

    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

    It's a bit much to drop someone after one match... and anyhow, I think he's usually decent against spin. I'm just not a fan of Monty's joke fielding.

    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

    Not a bad effort for a second innings, it was all lost in the first innings... some woeful batting and the fielding didn't help. How about Bresnan in for Monty?

    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2012

    We need to bring in a proper batsman... it's different if it's just a one-off for the next match, but there's no point at all playing four seamers and Swann when we get back home.

    Jimmy to win it for us.
