Red Army 75

Windy Miller . Ha ha up the Crewe

Straight from the 6 yard box

Not rovers related . But Newport keeper just scored from a goal kick

Up the Crewe . Nice to see Rovers going backwards again. Looks like agent Tisdale gave them false hope. Good lad

Ye agree with that. Sri Lanka batted woefully in the first innings and gave some wickets away. Leach had to early his 5 in the second. Good to see to English spinners though with 5 a piece going into the really difficult India tour

Excellent victory for England. Expect Sri Lanka to start the second test a lot better. Some of the aerial shots of the ground and surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful looking in the sunshine this morning. Really hope I can attend a test match there in the future.

Now the finger blasting locations have been discussed. Can we get it back on to the real ***** in this thread

Fantastic double hundred by Rooooooot.

All this spin bowling is great preparation for the India tests to follow

He really should be concentrating on the Preston game tomorrow.

Lovely 50 on debut for Lawrence. Chance to go big

Didn’t realise the great Jacques Kallis was on the English set up . What a player to learn from

Well played England. Excellent first day . Roots 50th 50 let’s hope he can convert into 3 figures.

Well bowled Bess . Absolutely piss poor from Sri Lanka

Thought that was out

Really poor from Sri Lanka after winning the toss . Oh well

Tis beautiful seem to remember a lot of England fans sat on the wall of that old fort on the side from past tests. 107-6

Now Leach with a wicket . 81-5

Broad again. Cracking catch from Roooooot

Got to be catching that . Shocker from Lawrence not what you need on debut

What a shocking shot . England on top

World class Stuart Broad . Wicket machine

Good cricket from England for that wicket

3 overs in first 25 minutes :laugh: . What a beautiful old ground. Of work for next couple of months a lot of cricket to watch. Love it

Hope they go bust
