Samit Patel terribly lazy with the bat, atrocious with the ball and grossly out of shape. He should never player for England again.

Luke Wright hasn't bowled a ball, therefore that means they've picked him as a batsmen in front of Bell. Oh dear.

Broad is doing well at not answering the Bell question there.

Very well

Nasser Hussein was saying he wished it was a 3 match series? Why?!

At least Cook & Trott (especially) will come in to the ODI side. Apart from KP & Morgan, that was pretty poor.

Ah well, on to Tuesday...

[Dave Cooper please]

So we lost at baseball, not bothered.

That's the result of his fitness regime!

I hardly see the point of playing just one of them. Either play 3/5 or none at all.

So because India don't want hawkeye it is removed from DRS? ridiculous. All the technology available should be used.

And in football?

[cdbearsfan]

Yes please. How come they never have to bother hosting Bangladesh either?

[The Left Side]

Well done England

[Dave Cooper please]

Excellent performance that, the rain break could have fucked it all up but we scored the runs and then immediately put Sri Lanka under pressure.
Anderson was brilliant.
