I care to say that you may well be banned within the next 3 hours

Who are you? Paul the psychic octupus's cousin?
On a more serious note, I think all the whingeing the england team have been doing recently about so called spirit-soul-god-saitan-whatever-of-cricket is going to have impact on the performance in the test series. Whichever team scores more runs and take more wickets in each test is like to emerge victorious.

*....going to have little impact.....

Geez, you joined today just to post this?

If a series means more than 1 test match, Lankans played only 3 such series in England and yet to win a series.

Don't count England out based on ODI performance.

I do think the biggest challenge for England is how they will tackle Herath.

Cricinfo describes Sangakkara as a right arm off-break bowler.

I hope SL bowling department doesn't reach that low.

On the other hand, interesting to see how much run Cook scores in the series.
Just until a year ago, Cook was ahead of Tendulkar in age-run comparison, but his lean form over the last year has caused him to fall significantly in the comparison.
Before reaching 30th year, Tendulkar had about 8800 runs, Cook has about 8000 now and need another 800 run in another 7 matches to match Tendulkar in that regard. If you ask me, the only man with realistically any chance of surpassing tendulkars runs in Test.

Anybody want to rethink their predictions

Can't see Sri Lanka getting less than 700 themselves - with plenty of time to put pressure on England the last three sessions.

Like batting on concrete now.

Should still end in a draw, mind
