Like in rugby. The weird thing is that even though there is an England, an Ireland and a Scotland team there is no Welsh team. Wales actually have a fairly strong county scene. But I suppose they fall under England and Wales Cricket Board jurisdiction and so their best players end up in the England team. |

Bloke down the pub told me that Dublin has a very strong cricket scene and I take everything I hear down the pub as Gospel.
I also heard that the Moon is an alien lifeform watching us always and that's why it has a face and always shows it to us. Can't be wrong that, when you think about it. |

| Sri Lanka all out for 235 on the final ball! England have a good chance. Can't believe that they could bowl out Sri Lanka but weren't able to do that for Ireland, Canada and Kenya. |

I gave up after Pietersen went ... and before my Murphy's consumption reached danger level ...
.. both were suggesting an imminent collapse ...
... two more wickets were down before I'd finished brushing my teeth ... ... but the scorecard made for a pleasant surprise this morning ...
In Japan you must have been up all night ? |

So you run an empire teach every one how to play the game and then get beaten by one of the smallest and weakeast members of the empire by two runs.
Well done the Poms a new level of sporting history....

I got excited after the Sri Lankan's surprisingly low total. I thought England would have to work hard to get lower than that.
After Pietersen was out I gave up only to be surprised by Bopara's innings in the closing stages. |
