Well done Sri Lanka. Great bowling performance. India win every game with ease and than duck it up in the final .....hahaha

[olaftab]

Peter Moores should have the England job. Harshly treated when he was in the job.

[PaulWinch again]

See I said Sri Lanka were a good shout before the start of the tournament. They had a great balance.

[PaulWinch again]

Morgan and Sam Robson had a bad day if they want to push for the Test side.

[PaulWinch again]

Promising that Prior has scored a century and especially good to hear that Finn is bowling well, maybe a break has sorted him out.

[PaulWinch again]

Finn seems to have found his mojo again.

[Chris Jameson]

Looks like it's Moores. Wish I'd put money on it now. Having said that I haven't a clue how to place a bet.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how he handles it.

[Villan For Life]

I find Moore's appointment to be a little bit meh.

I hope that he succeeds and that he's managed to overcome the problems that he caused when he was coach last time. The Pietersen problem was the tip of the iceberg. At one time or another he fell out with most of the senior pros. He was poor tactically and lost the dressing room. He did some good things but the problems were never far away.

[PaulWinch again]

It is a little bit meh, it's up to him now to show he's developed.

[OzVilla]

At least it's not Gilo. That would have sent the worst of messages.

[aj2k77]

A lot of the test squad or those on the edge making some statements at the start of this season

Cook
Bell
Prior
Anderson
Jordan
Onions
Robson
Chopra
Morgan
Balance
Carberry
Finn

All in the runs or taking wickets.

[PaulWinch again]

It's quite a coup to get Sri Lanka's head coach as our assistant coach. He's very highly rated and hopefully he'll develop our game.

[Villan For Life]

Gooch has stood down as a batting coach.

Whilst this was always likely to happen under a new coaching regime I think he should have gone regardless of the results over the winter as our batting has been awful for quite a while now.

I wonder if Thorpe will step up from his position as limited overs batting coach?

[PaulWinch again]

Gooch has been given his marching orders, about time.
