I think Kerrigan will be a good player, we just brought him in in completely the wrong circumstances previously.

I agree, I really like the look of Kerrigan, he's a lot like Swann was at that age, clearly some talent but sometimes struggles to put it together and sometimes looks a bit lost.

It's to Kerrigan's advantage that Moores will know his game inside out from his spell as coach as Lancashire.

Interesting interview with fellow Villan Ian Bell ahead of his 100th test:

Interesting that Cook has really bitten back against the criticism he's received.

I'm quite surprised by it really. He must really be feeling the pressure. For all his skill and guile as a bowler, Warne is now just an opinionated Aussie working in the media.

The only way Cook will stop him is to score a ton of runs.He should let his bat do the talking and don't forget the fat Aussie is mates with KP.

[Chris Jameson]

My thoughts exactly, Warne is best mates with Pietersen, him and Morgan are tedious.

[Villan For Life]

We won the toss and have put Sri Lanka in.

[PaulWinch again]

Should be interesting, I expect a lot more from Plunkett today.

[PaulWinch again]

First impressions are the pitch doesn't look particularly fast.

[PaulWinch again]

Had they listened to Broad that would have been out.

[PaulWinch again]

Good start from Jordan.

[PaulWinch again]

Jordan had an excellent spell with no luck.

[PaulWinch again]

Need a wicket.

[PaulWinch again]

That is terrible from Prior.

[PaulWinch again]

Great catch Jordan.
