England need a fielder up on that roof

By the way, the innings played by Kusal Perera is now the best test innings EVER according to the rankings. Absolutely stunning knock

would be if theyd not dropped 3 or 4 catches but should be ok from here, theyve very little bowling and the 2 main dangers are pretty much bowled out
Just catching up with this thread and saw this.
Ridiculous statement borne out of 1990s sentiment.

Windies have been poor in the field tonight.

poors being polite, got 3 wickets but dropped 5 or 6 catches. dont have the bowling to afford to be spilling chances like they have (especially with the injuries to bowlers they now have). Nurse looks a complete liability thats for sure

Decent way to round off the evening, switched over with England needing 20 runs.

Very good run chase that. Assisted by Windies bowling and fielding performance.

Had to be honest, when I saw the target and how Gayle had batted I thought we'd come second. Excellent and well judged chase although helped by a real lack of potency by the bowlers (you can say that of both sides) and some Sunday second XI standard fielding. Not sure England will have learned too much from that (apart from not sticking it on a plate to Gayle) but a win is a win. I think against any half decent bowling attack we wouldn't have got near the target

Saw Roy's innings, was very impressive. Remember when he debuted in ODi cricket the selectors got a lot of flak with a lot of people claiming he'd never be good enough. 3 hundreds at an average of 42 with a strike rate over 100 in the last 12 months, he's been excellent.

OMG. 15-2 in Port Elizabeth. Sri Lanka bowling very well in some favourable conditions.
Shows what a win can do for you

And then we gift them a wicket with a run out? 15/3? This is shocking

Not doing much better now.
Another team with a poor batting line up.
Best player well past his best days, captain no spring chicken and the rest average at best and that's being kind.

The Hundred!
Why? Just why?
What does it bring to the game that's not already available from T20?
Certainly won't do anything for our struggling Test side.
