Sri Lanka snatch historic victory
England despair as they lose the home Test series with just one ball remaining.

Well, law of averages catches up eventually. How many draws have they clung on to being 9 down in the fourth innnings in recent times?
And to think, an Aussie scoring a ton in the first innings wasn't enough.

Very pleased to see the Englishman getting runs in just his 2nd game.
Annoying that they hung on in the 1st test but we couldn't in the 2nd.

Rookie must be another one who 'rediscovered' Test cricket after 4-5 years of going missing. Amazing what a difference winning makes on Australian patriotism.

Yes, serious trouble to get a first innings lead. How much of the game did you watch?

You need 10 wickets to bowl out a team. I bet you didn't care when agar got all those runs.

Re: Sri Lanka snatch historic victory
You seriously are one top class individual.
Who mentioned anything about the Aussies and was I having a shot at the poms?
I was merely stating what actually happened and for a tenth wicket partnership it came as a surprise me. Hence
So how about you get your hand off it for a change you tosspot.

Re: Sri Lanka snatch historic victory
Typical one eyed Australian response.
The same way that you use an argument and yet that same argument can't be used against you - case in point - Aussies whinge about 'foreigners' in the English cricket team but happily accept them in their rugby team....they'll even change immigration laws to suit getting people their citizenship early but we can't mention that.

Re: Sri Lanka snatch historic victory
I've been saying this for years about Aussies. Condemn England playing S.A.born players in our cricket team whilst hypocritically playing people born in other countries in their rugby league and rugby union teams.

That only makes them just as bad as your mob. It doesn't justify your lot.

I've never justified playing non Englishman in our side. I just like highlighting the convict hypocrisy.
