Off next month for the Tests in Galle and Kandy.

I can't wait.

Galle is a great place , that will be brilliant.

I am off to Barbados in jan for the windies test. Bucket list ticker.

Talksport2 reception on DaB is pathetic and then you have Gough who can’t string a coherent sentence together, Mark Nicholas was pretty much laughing at him the other day when the daft Manyoo/Spurs/Barnsley/Mk Dons fan pronounced that due to the rain all cricket playing country’s should build at least one ground with a roof with no thought of costs, feasibility just lets get them built.

Sri Lanka 74-5 Stone looked very handy

Seems he can dish out the verbals, but he can't take it. What a twat.

Would it surprise any of you if the bans were lifted early?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

England are 103/4 against Sri Lanka in the first test.

Burns and Foakes make their debuts.

 

[jimharri]

321-8 at stumps. A good recovery from 103-5. Foakes unbeaten on 87 on his debut.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Great morning for England.

Foakes made a century on his debut, and Sri Lanka are four down at lunch.

Great performance by England today, I thought Root rotated the bowling brilliantly.

I didn't come across any City, but plenty from Bury, who I thanked for nurturing Colin the King.

Super knock from Curran, absolutely dragging us upto a workable total 271-9 Fromm 225-9, the Burnley Lara doing his bit as well

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Second test well under way.

England 272-9. Curran going well here at the end.
