2nd Sri Lanka Test ...

[lovedeanblue]

Starts at Headingley today. Well done Ian Bell on becoming the 12th man to play 100 Test Matches for England. He has made 20 centuries and 40 half centuries so far

We won the toss and put them in, at the minute its looking like a bad decision.

You sure?? SL 182-5 @ tea for a 5 day test suggests this time @ least Cook got it right.

If it's anything like a usual seamy Headingley wicket, the winning tossers should bowl first. 17,500 'orrible Tykes breathing ale and pie fumes at them will only add to the hostile ambience.

Talking of pies I've been wondering if the Ray Winstone Bet 365 "Who et all da poys, oi, oi, who et all da poys, oi, oi" ad is a Bulc tribute.
