Should be a little closer, most of the Indians seem unable to get out of Slogaball T20 mode.

It'll be a bit of a laugh now the main event has ended.

Re: England v India, who is going to win

The test in Galle is shaping up to be a good one.

Lyon got a wicket with his 1st ball in test cricket - well done that man.

He'll be dropped for the next Test then, they have to try all the spinners before the year is out ...

Copeland also trundled in for a debut wicket ... SL 54/3 at Lunch ... The very definition of a 'Result Wicket' I'd wager ...

Definitely will get a result.

There is trying out new blood and there is being on a permanent spinner transfusion machine.

I guess if anywhere is going to give confidence to a young spinner it will be on a deck that has been turning right-angles from Day 1 ...

Oh, Johnson has a wicket LBW ... Oh no he doesn't ... No ball ... What a shame, what a shame, what a shame ...

Can't believe there's no commentary on the ABC.

Wait until they break into the Top 3 Test Nations, you might get an update at the end of play then. Until then, back to the swimmers

Missing the dulcet sounds of Tony Greig? No? Well, here they are accompanied by some low-def video:

Well found, but I'm afraid I have to let that one through to the keeper. Hate TV cricket, give me radio any day.

I'm with you there ... Give me the pictures but radio commentary is the ideal ... In sync preferably.

I'll keep it streaming or I may miss today's 4 byes from Johnson ...

Not really fussed about pictures. They're handy to see the techniques of the players, but after that I'm happy with the radio. Least you can be doing something useful, TV just locks you down to lethargy.
