Forgot that was tomorrow! I'd say England 1-0, but hard to know what Sri Lanka will be like. Don't think Mendis makes the squads these days. Found out as a circus freak. Main question will still be how England play Herath, given the epic fail against Rehman in the UAE. Doubt it'll be as bad. Tests in Sri Lanka can be dull as shit. Hope there are decent wickets prepared. Samit Patel might debut. You worry about him in the heat...
Hang on...so the Twenty20 WC starts when SL and England are in the middle of a Test series :blink:
How does that work?
Yup. And they're only playing a couple. SL get ranking points for draws so if they were as Gervinho as me, they'd drive a tank over the wicket and bat for 3 days.Quote:

Its one of only 2 competitions Cricket have tbh, the other being the 50 over one
Well worth winning.
And India have won both in my life time.
And recently as well
India :bow:
I just checked. Neither ground is the one that hosted the epic 700 plays 700 Test when India toured last. So hopefully it'll be watchable. A draw would be pretty good going for the Lankans.Quote:

Yup top 2 go through in to the quarter finals and so on from there
You'd expect the big 2 from every group to go through
Well it'll depend on one off short games. Gangstadesh are capable even though they're a bit shit. Dunno. Hope for some bowl outs or super overs or whatever.
Sri Lanka are 129-5 currently. Mahela on 62.
Anderson with two wickets, Broad and Patel with one each. One run out. Patel's wicket was his first in tests. :bow:
