I am not sure what time it happened. Just trying to find an excuse for the Sri Lankans woeful performance.

As for England. Their batting in the 1st innings Vs RSA was terrible. However the South Africans didn't performed much better with the bat being 70/3 at the close of play on the first day.

The upcomming Ashes series will be interesting, England playing at home have to have some sort of advantage. They are not like the England teams of old. These guys have got used to winning and are mentaly fit to take on the Aussies on their home grounds. I think the Ashes series will be closer than most are predicting. Having said that we are definately still the team to beat.

Paki's limped to be all out for 341 this morning Vs Australia. A lacklustre performance compared to what they showed us yesterday. A slight weather interuption this morning and the Aussies will come out firing with the bat, I hope. Clarke is a freak in the field, two runouts in a test match innings is not very common. Warnie cleaned up a couple this morning too. A rank full toss to get an lbw was pretty ordinary, but the ball he bowled to Akthar to be out stumped was a beauty, but it was only Akthar. Lets hope the rain doesn't last too long.
