Sri Lanka v England, 1st Test (Galle) 19-23 March 2020

I think it's fair to say, for all their batting inconsistency of late, England look unbeatable this time round.
Whether they can pluck out 20 Sri Lankan wickets is another matter altogether. That part looks seriously open to doubt.

The only thing that will save Bails from drying up completely is that we fail the "gatherings of 500 or more" test.
No Tests for at least 3 months could see us diving under 500 posts per month.

The 1st test against the windies is due to start on 4th June. Can't see that happening.
Potential implications for the test championship.

Nothing like some trivia to pass the time while we are all at home in isolation.
I reckon you've got a couple of weeks to build up a good file of questions.

I'll see what I can do.
Usually I go with topical stuff, but with no Tests on that's not going to happen.

Two reasons.
1) Habitual and sometimes acerbic scepticism (even at 19)
- still appropriate
2) 68 kg, 188 cm, under-nourished.
- not so much

‘East Pakistan’ already had its new name, but you’re on the right track.

Just as long as it wasn't pronounced as Urdu speakers seem to: "ARSE-uff", or something of that sort.
