[Cricket] England v Sri Lanka - First Test - Lords

[crodonilson]

Brave effort from England, cruel way to end. Still on that performance future looks bright, just need to unearth a couple more foreign rejects especially a spinner.

If Cook had some balls he would have declared last night with 8 overs to bowl at them.
Sorry Garry Ballance, well batted, but we want to win the game.
Eight overs last night, would of meant we would have had the 2nd new ball 8 overs earlier this evening.

Leaving them to chase less than 300 in 100 overs on a pitch offering very little to the bowlers?

We set them 390 to win. I dont think Ballance and Broad/Plunkett put on 90 in 8 overs
