and theres the punishment for wasting the reviews (hideous from the clown Bowden mind!)
Isn't funny how all day while England bowled short, that the pitch was described as "doing nothing" then as so as SriLanka bowl, full and straight there's 3 quick wickets???
make that 4!!

hardly rocket science either, 2 ways to get wickets on this were to bowl full or for the spinner to get some turn, so we chose to try neither for 2 sessions!
definitely time for Cook to call it a day as captain, no doubt we'll have to wait for it to go pear shaped against India first hough
make that 5

not going to disagree with you on that, but two very exp bowlers leading the attack and one that this is his home ground...
by the look of the guys thats been getting the last 4 wickets, we needed a 5ft tall dobber that bowls 70 MPH, so why doesn't Bell bowl anymore?

An appalling, ineffective, incompetent and wasteful day's cricket from England. :angry:
We were shocking today from start to finish. Poor bowling, poor fielding and shoddy batting. Time for Cook to go me thinks

Can you extend that to a day and a half ? Poor from England since tea yesterday or even before after Bell got out

Seen more positivity o the bottom of a battery than Alistair Cook has ever shown as captain.
Cook looks out of touch with the bat and short of ideas to create pressure and get wickets. I think he needs to relinquish the captaincy, maybe go back to the county for a few games and come back fresh and without the pressures

He looks done in , over cooked , no runs , no ides , maybe he was the problem or one of the problems in the last tour , Joe Root is FEC for sure ...............................EYC
only trouble is non of the current mob stand out, i think JR is too young and a doubt had any exp as far as i know.

Wasn't Graeme Smith made South African Captain at 22? He did alright, ended a few England captains careers

he wasn't the best captain in the world IMO, copied Vaughns idea's most of the time.

great innings from Moeen Ali all in vain in the end, Jimmy really should have had his hands down at the end but a bit harsh to blame him
ultimately SL were the better side and deserved the victory for me, shame theres not a 3rd test. be interesting to see the aftermath....

Great finish to the test there. Top ball by Eranga but Jimmy should have worn it for the team really.
