Is this on Fox? Tipping Sri Lanka to struggle big time - English wickets in May can be unkind the those unaccustomed. Will be interesting to see how Vince goes.

Yeah has had a very impressive start to the year.

A bit disappointed that they couldn't find room for Robson, but Compton deserves a bit longer after only coming in against South Africa and Vince was a more like for like choice in the middle order. Still not fully convinced on Hales but we will see.

The last 2 test series they played over here was a ripper. If Sri Lanka can bring that level of fight, it will be something to see.

Those tests summed up the Moores era. England finding a way to lose from a position of massive domination...
Judging by the weather forecast I would say the first test might get washed out .

Big blow for Sri Lanka that Prasad is out injured; he's done a good job of leading their attack over the last couple of years. Looking forward to seeing Chameera bowl again.

Why are the Lankans touring England again after just 2 years? Thought it's been a while since England played the Saffas in England. I reckon that could be a brilliant series.
