I'd love to see M. Jayawardane making another century. He is positively Bradmanesque in Sri Lanka. As you said Zsayeed bhai, I hope Mathews and P. Jayawardane give him adequate support.

Lady Jaya is having one hell of a series here! Hope he can save this match.

I am trying to gather hope

. Thanks Bhai.

Mahela, Mathews and Prasanna are all right handers. I am hoping they will cope better the Swan off-breaks. Does that sound reasonable? Anderson they just have to fend off. That guy is on fire. Then there is Finn and Bresnan.

Moment of truth tonight for me.

Swann is making the ball spin like a top!! Even on spin conducive pitches, it's rare to see a finger spinner get this much turn and bounce. Would love to see Shakib do the same in SL.

What's incredible is that SL have been batting since the end of the 3rd day. Amazing to see how long this continues.

Haha, the Barmy Army trumpeter just played Kolaveri D xD

Well, my heart was with SL. But the way their top order imploded in this series, in all 4 batting innings, (except MoS Mahela) they should learn a few things to make them stronger.

Better effort next time guys!

Yeah, with their current bowling attack (which, taking all things into consideration, is probably as bad as ours) they need Dilshan, Sangakarra and Jayawardane to fire simultaneously, all the time. To win they need to bat other sides out completely - a lot like the Indian side sans Zaheer Khan and an in-form Bhajji
