Mørk vs. Jones. Battle of the drops

Mørk 4 from 7
Jones 2 from 3


Looks like Gojo has a slight advantage at this early stage of the series.

apart from the last innings collaspe, we were pushing England all the way. Not every Test nation can beat Sri Lanka at home, actually most don't.

RUN OUT?! RUN OUT?! Twice? That's ridiculous!

A shame to let it slip so badly on day five having matched England up to and until the Strauss-Giles partnership on day four. Encouraging signs and little to be ashamed of against one of the best teams in the world. Let's bounce back next time out.

Disappointing loss there. Did well up to that second innings collapse. Surely we should have won or at least gotten a draw. Oh well. Gotta do better next time out.

I hope you are joking. We had one bad innings, the other three were all good. This is against England(!!), it was never going to be a walk in the park! I think we should look to the positives, we had a first innings lead, we showed that we can do it, now it's up to us to go on and win the remaining four.

totally agreed there david.... if he was being serious its a pretty dumb coment... we matched them for 3 out of 4 innings.. just let it slip in the chase.... alot of improvement to come and i beleive we have it.. just settling into it nicely now...

annoyed with my performance in both digs.. i was one of two bats to get to double figures in the 2nd dig but im annoyed i got run out.. trying to stay around with the tail and i run myself out..

lets go webbers fire up for 2nd test.

Yeah, that's not my point, it sounded as though we'd scored an unlikely victory and we could win the series.
