When I wrote my last post I honestly thought the 3rd test match would yield a result. The following two days made that presumption look very silly indeed, as the pitch looked as dull and lifeless as the previous two pitches in Sri Lanka as the home side batted away without much trouble.

Never one to let things roll along boringly, England decided to spice the game up on the 3rd day by batting like a bunch of absolute muppets. It was horrifying to wake up and see us at 40 odd for 4, and 81 all out was just disgraceful. Do the guys want to get home early for Christmas or something, as that what it bloody looks like!

Watching and supporting England never fails to shock and surprise…
