Shiekh, why have the Indians been awarded a 5 test series? Who are the bowlers? India.... The bullies of workd cricket... I hope England hammer India, and when you get plum lbw's and snicks to the keeper etc.... and the umpire doesn't give it.... no review system???? Should be mandatory for ALL test nations! who the f@@k do India think they are.... bullies.

Couldn't agree more... It's a feckkkn joke that DRS won't be used, especially since England at home....

what a shocking performance from England again..we really have gone downhill
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We haven't lost this yet.
I posted that comment when sri-lanka were 2 down and we were staring down the barrel.If sri-lanka are still 4 down at lunch England will be in a pickle
Big morning session today. Need Sri Lanka all out by lunch.
Cook needs to bat properly!
New ball key here. If England make in roads they will have to chase 170 but if SL whether it then they could be looking close to 300 to chase.
Where the fekk is the headingley crowd? I fear less and less test matches at headingley
Finally a wicket. Can't see England chasing more then 250 so need some more wickets quickly
If Sri Lanka can get 250 it will make it very interesting anything less and i think England will get the Win quite easy.
Make no mistake about it, Yorkshire have turned this game.... Fekkk alll the yorkshire-bashers. Plunkett has cemented his place in the team for the foreseeable future.... Replace Moeen for yorkshire a rafiq and England will be up there again!!
Cook really has got no clue on how to set fields and generally be a good captain.
Sets his bowlers to bowl short.. doesn't work when teams are attacking.. You need to bowl to hit the stumps. If England lose at home to Sri-lanka he needs to stand down.. Not good enough.
Fantastic knock by Matthews
Looks like Prior maybe in the team for a while now.He needs to take over the captaincy.. for a coupla years then maybe root could be captain... cook does not fill me with any confidence.. same with Moores
I really didnt know Matthews was this good. Thought he was just an average player but hes actually very decent with both Ball and Bat.
If only they could have kept Malinga from not retiring from Test Cricket.
Why has cook waiting so long to bowl the spinner, clueless cook is his new name.
he had it easy when he had Swann, Trott and KP nows hes being shown up as a fool
Why is cook not bowling broad or Anderson is more experience bowlers? this is a joke..
This reminds me of the first test last summer against Australia where for some unknown reason cook went back to Finn and it nearly cost England the game. The whole putting back the field to allow Mathews a single is stupid..Mathews was never gonna take a single.. bring the field up and try and get him out.. very one dimensial captaincy.. same with not bringing plunkett into the attack until the 18th over... Cook got into his head.. Plunkett would come on and bowl at the middle order. after the opening bowlers took early wickets.. all eggs in one basket way of thinking.
Sri-lanka get near 300 and England don't bat well early on. Our middle order will get stuffed by Herath.
And you need to question the bowling coach.. England bowl far to short in length compard to Sri-lanka.. These are not lightning quick wickets.Gone are the days Sri-lanka are scared of quick bowlers.
David Saker always get's away with criticism. I think he has been poor as a bowling coach for England. He has more or less ruined Finn's career and his tactics are shocking. Always the opposite to what they should be.
they are not learning are they? brings the field up for the last ball and Mathews goes for a 4. cook gets on my bleeding wick.
Wel look at that, Ali is finally bought on and hes causing problems.
Clueless Cook.
I really hope Cook does the decent thing and stands down.. more short stuff from Broad.. STOP BOWLING SHORT.. COME ON LEARN.
Agree cook has been shocking, but there are two teams out there... Give credit where it's due, Lanka and Mathews have been nothing short of sensational when the pressure was in.... Mathews has really impressed
