The ongoing test series between the Sri Lankans and the Englishmen has seen a lot of batting failures from both teams. Though the English are the ones who are facing the biggest problems in batting , the Sri Lankans are also having problems with their top order failing in both test matches so far. The latest was today when we lost 3 wickets for around 21 runs.  The most concerning one of all is the failure of Sanga who went for a 1st bowl duck for the second time in this series.

It took me a while to accept this but now, I totally believe it. Mahela Jayawardene is the best ever test batsman Sri Lanka has produced to date. That fact was confirmed today by Mahela himself with his epic innings against the Englishmen at Galle. An innings played when the chips were down and Sri Lanka perilously close to getting humiliated at their own den. In the end his solo effort took Sri Lanka 's score to respectability and can now eye a score of 300 for the first innings when at one time , even 250 was looking impossible.

The Sri Lankan test squad for the upcoming test series with England was announced today and the notable absentee was Angelo Mathews. The guy has been absent from the Sri Lankan team since the finals of the CB series and as reported by cricinfo , it is said that the calf problem that has been troubling him is still not good and he won't be able to bowl for Sri Lanka for quite sometime. Clearly it is bad news for Angelo and Sri Lanka.
