Hi Guys!!
England team is here in sri lanka for the Bradford & Bingly series.  We got 5 ODI coming in.  Today (1st October, they played the 1st ODI.  Last time these two teams met for a series is in England in early 2006.  Sri lanka won 5 – nil. 
Today match was played at Dambulla cricket stadium.  It’s a bit slow pitch.
Mahela won the toss & elected to bat.  Murali is not playing for us & flintoff is not playing for England
Sri lanka made 270/7 (50overs)
Jayasuriya 44
Tharanga 48
Mahela 64
England was balled out in 34 overs & made just 150 runs!!!!!.  So, English men are having trouble here in Sri lanka.  England says “ muje marajaunga!!! Next ODI is on Thursday.
Man of the match  is Maharoof for his balling.  10 overs 30 runs & 4 wickets.
By the way some new rules are introduced to the ODI;s.  Now there is a free hit for front leg NO – BALLS.  And after 35 overs, there is a compulsory ball change.
More news coming up!

Eng are a pathetic ODI outfit and I'm glad Lankans put them where they belong. I think SL did very well to score 270 here, was more like a 220-240 pitch.

I think Lankans missed a trick, prolly misread the pitch by not including even one frontline spinner? But then it would have been prolly Mahroof who would've missed out

I think both teams did. England don't have a single spinner either.

Extending  Sidhu's claim that we became #1 by beating the #2 team in the world (SAF), we became #8 by losing to the #7 team in the world
