Glenn Turner returned to form in style scoring a peerless 107 in the first innings and an unbeaten 67 second time around. ROW's bowlers had no clue whatsoever to dislodge him in any way except a run-out.

Rest of the World only just managed to get away with a draw mainly due to Murray Goodwin's long and gritty knocks in both innings.

On a pitch where only four others could cross 50, George Headley churned out 182 magnificent runs and took England's frontline bowlers apart during his blistering knock.

England however, managed to draw the match due to the valiant efforts of their 9th wicket pair that hung on for 23.3 overs against one of the deadliest bowling attacks.

 
Oh! that draw is as good as a loss for us. After dominating the game throughout the test, we failed to hit the knockout punch ending our hopes of a win. Well played Sydney Barnes and Hedley Verity.
 
2 draws in a row:D A win is around the corner
 
First victory, did not know that we were going to win after Sri Lanka's first innings.

Zaheer Khan is a waste, will definitely replace him next match.

I reckon you shouldn't judge a bowler's credentials based on just one match, especially when that one match was on a batsman's paradise. His economy rates in both innings show that he bowled well but without any luck.
