264-9, Anderson goes.

264 all out, Monty goes first ball.
Sri Lanka win, well done to them.
Strauss, you're a tit.
I think we need to drop KP.
He's not playing his game anymore. He's trying to play test cricket, and it's just not him. He's more dangerous when he's aggressive.
I don't think you can drop cook, for everythinghe's done. And Trott is a decent number three.
Strauss should be dropped, but won't be for obvious reasons. His form with the bat has been pretty woeful bar a few knocks for a couple of years now.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Last 6 wickets for 31 runs
Wonder if Botham still thinks there is no one to challenge England for many years at the top of the game
We just can't seem to play conditions which aren't native to us.
Until we learn to play away from home, we're always going to be an "ok" team.
We ain't number 1 in the world. That's for sure.

The thing is, Sri Lanka aren't even good. They were a much better team a couple of years ago.
Herath with 12 wickets
18 out of the 20 England wickets were taken by spinners.
The thing is, everyone's shit on the road and everyone wins at home.Originally Posted by LDG
I would still say England are the best but there's very little in it. Should be interesting in the summer - after England trounce the Windies and become the greatest ever team again - when SA play England and then England go to India.
Well saidFrom @NishTrivedi85: "Without wishing to sound smug, didn't India get a LOT of abuse for losing 4 in a row as world No. 1 away from home?"
At least India were number 1 for a couple of years before they fell apart.
England have been number 1 for a matter of months.
Worst number 1 ranked team ever? in any sport?
I think that honour goes to Sp*rs around January......

Broad a doubt for the 2nd Test
