Well that was a bit of a shambles today wasn't it? And after we bowled quite well in the last quarter of the Sri Lanka innings. I expected England might struggle a bit batting second under the lights but I didn't think it would be that one sided. I hope we win the toss and bat first next time.

| Mustard looked pretty decent with both gloves and bat. Middle order wilted under the pressure. Bowlers performed well with the exception of Anderson who I don't think is up to international standards (although all of the pundits/commentators seem to like him so I might be in the minority)!!!! |

You disappoint me - surely being nicknamed 'Statto', that sort of thing is your deprtment? 
I heard the other day England have won only 1 of the 9 (I think) completed ODIs they've played in Sri Lanka, and that was the first one they played there, in 1981!
That's certainly 7 in a row they've lost against them (Monday, World Cup game, five matches in England in 2006); the previous meeting before then was in the Champions Trophy in 2004 when England won under the Duckworth Lewis (sorry, shouldn't swear  ) rule at the Rose Bowl, which I was at (on both days!) and which England would have won anyway from the position of the match when it was abandoned (SL 70ish for 4 or 5 chasing 250ish) I can't remeber any further back than that.
Oh well, we live in hope for a victory tomorrow. (At least, winning the toss would be an improvement, wining the game as well would be better) |

Another good win for England today, and batting second under the lights as well!
It also just proved again that you don't have to have totals of 300-plus to have a good game.
2-1 up with 2 to play then, but there's some dodgy weather aropund in Colombo. Get those sliderules ready....
(Keith, I've just noticed, you've reached your half century - 50 posts. The bad news is, it ain't going on the averages!) |

| Mr Statto, why the silence? Are you that concerned about having to eat various bits of clothing/prosthetic limbs that you have banned yourself from commenting? |

Mike, I'll save you the touble of re-posting most of what you said about the first match of the series, being as most of it applied today as well.
Still, a 3-2 series win, the first series win for England on the sub-continent for 20 years, the Test series will be tought though, seeing as Murali will prbably be fit again and England will be without Flintoff (again).
Interstingly, I read on Cricinfo today that 20 years ago today, England needed 34 in 4 overs to beat Pakistan in the World Cup match in Rawalpindi - 26 balls and three run outs later, they'd lost by 14 runs. |

Remember your text message from Saturday -
"How did we do in the cricket?"
was, I believe the phrase you used. 
As I said in reply at the time, I wasn't aware South Africa were playing on Saturday. England on the other hand, lost by 104 runs!
I'm saying nothing more....
