How quickly things change. With that stand of 36 between Colly and WiBo we were absolutely MUNTERING the Lankans.

Just rolled over like dogs . . . all English supporters (except Trev and Ian) have my sympathy!

I think this is result of bad karma for leaving out Shah for so long.

by tac Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:39

England should declare at 9 down.

by THICKEDGE Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:43

Shah can count himself unlucky. This tour was his last chance and he is now finished.

by Merlin Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:48

81 all out.
Lowest score against SL .... ever!
What a fcuking shambles.

Now England have to do what they're best at ... saving a test match, yet again.
FFS - how much lower can these overpaid sh!tes slide to?

Still, taking 5/1 on an SL win 2 days ago makes up for it!! Very Happy

Being a natural pro at occult, I can say it's simply poor occult-sense to leave a player sulking/depressed/angry in the team XII for so long. The bad karma is going to catch up sometime.

by THICKEDGE Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:49

81 oh dear.

by Invader Zim Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:49

I thought it was the bowling that was the problem Suspect

Not when Strauss gets the captaincy after Vaughan "falls on his sword".

The England innings fittingly concludes with a comical run-out between Harmy and Monty.

So Vaughan opening the innings twice in one day. Must be a postive that.

by tac Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:52

Praying for a Vaughan duck . . .

by JGK Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:53

Just saw today's scores - WTF happened to England?

by Invader Zim Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:54

The cheats opening the bowling...

by NottsFan Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:55

Pathetic.

Should go without payment this series.

Light offered and taken...

by tac Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:58

No, I think he has to go . . .

by THICKEDGE Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:58

Vaughan came up with the 'idea' of performance related bonuses for England players...

150s and 7 fors. Hmmm

Your wish might just end up being granted.

Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field.

Can't even select the best eleven players.

Can't be arsed to play for their country.

Useless to$$ers.

by Brass Monkey Thu 20 Dec 2007, 12:11

Weak. This is about 50 times as bad as the Ashes simply due to the fact SL are a bunch of sh!te.

What was the Prior send off like? I didn't get to see it.

Vaas just looked him in the eye and pointed in the general direction of the rooms...was beautifully understated considering what a loud-mouth buffoon Prior is.
