Good stuff England, nice to see them win once in a while Sri Lanka is no pushover.

Ahhh so the 6-1 defeat was just a dastardly ploy to make everyone think that we're bad eh? Nice work.

Indeed young matthew.

We only won because it was a green pitch.

 

[viney]

A good win for England. Should give them some confidence for the rest of the tournament.

Best team in the world.

Hmm. Can't say I agree with Colly as MOTM. Think Morgan played a more important knock. Was between Jimmy and Morgan for me.

There's been some weird MOTM lately but I'm fine with Colly winning it. He gave the edge that put England under a comfy RRR from a bad start, and from where Morgan took it on with the slow Shah as the partner.

SL are so inconsistent, they really need the pitch and the toss to help them get a win. At least we now have an interesting group.

In short they need to play at home.

Its other way round. See the batting conditions.

well Mathews and Kandamby showed that it wasn't impossible to bat on. Batsman like Sangakkara and Jayawardene should have no problem adjusting to these conditions.

 

[Howsie]

Yay, New Zealand are now the worst team in this group. Tbh I'm surprised England chased that target down, good to see Collingwood in some form though.

 

[Dutch]

Well done England! I knew you would do it! Pressure on the Kiwi's now (So nothing new there then!)
