And now gone...Crawley dropped.
If we'd have been chasing 50 we will be struggling.Glad the chase is less than 100 as I think we would have lost chasing 120+
Our openers seem to struggle on all wickets.We'll piss this. However, the concern will be that Sibley and Crawley will struggle on these wickets.

Lost count how many times we have been two wickets down for not very many.
They clearly were not.I am surprised that they didn’t look a bit closer at if the stumps were broken before the ball hit the stumps in Roots runout. I don’t think they did but it was very close in real time.
Looks like a lovely ground at Galle.
Wasn't it completely destroyed by the Tsunami?
Here's an archived news item from 2007 with the pic.No it just missed. Theres an amazing photo which I can never find where you see the whole of Galle destroyed and the pitch totally untouched as it didn't go there.
Having been there you can still see the damage to some of the houses. It's brutal.
Yeah. We stayed at The Lighthouse Hotel which is very near the ground for a couple of days when on a tour of the country. It was about 18 months after the Tsunami. The hotel is on a raised headland so escaped the Tsunami although all around was still devastated as was the ground itself. There was a huge refugee camp right next door at that time. The actual area, old fort and ground itself is beautiful.Looks like a lovely ground at Galle.

We should be thinking about who will play in the second test.
Anderson for Broad.
Apparently Wood can't play in consecutive tests so who comes in for him, Stone?
England management have already said Moeen can't play so soon after coming out of quarantine.Anderson and Ali for Wood and Broad.
Not selected, which is why I think he'll play the next one.Why is Anderson missing this test?
I hadn't heard that, I thought it was down to assessment. I gather he wasn't that unwell.England management have already said Moeen can't play so soon after coming out of quarantine.
They said because he hasnt been able to train or practice for 14? days he wouldnt be considered for the 2nd testI hadn't heard that, I thought it was down to assessment. I gather he wasn't that unwell.
I told you we would piss this.Never in doubt!![]()
2nd Test starts on Friday....
