Best English cricketer of all time.

Steady on. Right up there yes especially in terms of stats. But he hasn’t faced the very best Aussies regularly. And frankly the levels of Test Cricket top level has been in decline

Tbf, there’s not a great deal of competition.
Two sessions more tomorrow might see Bangladesh winning the second test against Pakistan. That after being fuck all for 6 in the first innings.

Was watching the highlights from their first test win. The Pakistani player who took the final catch in slip to dismiss Bangladesh for 500 odd runs threw down the ball in a mixture of contempt and disgust, probably a mix of “Finally this accused innings is over” and “how TF are we letting THIS lot do this to us”.
He got a first ball duck in their second innings.
Serves you right you prick. Show some respect to your opponents.

Are Pakistan touring England next or is it the other way round ?
England tour Pakistan, then head to NZ I think later that month, or might be the next month - can’t remember the dates

Was never a massive fan of splitting the coaching roles so this is a pleasant surprise, didn’t think they’d be able to convince him to do it given he seemed happy with his previous schedule.

England in trouble. They’ve been sloppy, which is understandable to a degree, but still disappointing.

Very poor to be honest.
Could be a wake up call and hopefully it isn’t all put on the idea that Stokes isn’t there.

Srilanka could crumble and choke though.
They’ve MASSIVELY cocked up this test. Poorish first inning, bad start to bowling at SriLanka but managed to maintain a decent lead and then a shambolic effort in the second inning.
It’ll be good to have Stokes back at the helm.

I feel a lot of it is down to leadership and maintaining standards. Clearly levels have been dropped now that the series is won. Can’t have that if you have designs of beating the likes of Australia away.

Whilst it does look likely that SL will win this test, conditions might still add a touch of spice to the morning session.
Slightly cool, and overcast conditions, so could be a bit of swing for the bowlers to work with.

With all rue respect, they should be able to beat Sri Lanka at home without Stokes.
