"newloyalroyal" your so so funny, joke of the day....

I'm not sure how much knowledgeable your in Cricket ....... comparing Sri Lanka to Bangladesh. England mayb....



Hello Mr explain me,

At least we sri lankans won 1 world cup . England have they .... never .

At least we won this years Asia cup [ Our regional cup ] . You English in your football[ Best premier ship in the world ] haven't even qualified to the Euro cup.



I know why ECB wants this Zimbabwe replacing SL ,



They initially planned Zimbabwe tour as a practice for Ashes[ coz Zim is easy to beet . I still cant believe when they celebrated Ashes victory with an open roof parade in 2005 . what a foolish thing to do . Home Test series won , that's all. Why ??? maybe the frustration that haven't won anything ]

and then they wanted Sri lnaka coz they knew SL's second team would tour due to IPL commitments .

Be careful mate if full SL team tours , it would be an English nightmare. We've got another mystery spinner who can make England players like jokers in a gay cricket club [ Monty + Sidebottom].



newloyalroyal funny when u said all about murali. If he is playing with a bend arm and it would be a shame that you English players can even play a handicap player...hahaha



Come on south Africa thrash England and make let whole world how crap they are in cricketing world....

I agree with Alex Stewert in that you should field your best side for Test cricket. Personally, I would rather England ditch the series an concentrate on the Ashes.

Well done Satheesh. I think people like newloyalroyal don't realise who the master is now.

Newloyalroyal, the days of the empire are long gone dear, me thinks if you fish your hands out from the controls of the playstation and learn to play some good cricket. Perhaps the old empire will still have some hope of giving Srilanka a good came.

on the one hand we are much better outfit than zimbabwe and really deserve a 3 test series. we won the last test series agaisnt england in SL so we are clearly a serious opposition.

on the other hand i think it is good if someone fills in this gap. england have done a good thing in refusing to play zim, so it would be a shame if the ECB and the fans are punished by no countries not replacing Zim

Itfs not a preplan tour anyway. Itfs just to fill the gap created by stubborn ECB by not allowing Zimbabwe to tour. Sri Lanka is like a spare wheel. In this case IPL should be a priority for the players.

Its about time players protect their own Interest.
Playing Test cricket is actually playing in a private club like ICC in the name of country. It has nothing to do with cricket or country.

Britain should stop feeling dissed as they have been doing to others for years. Its about time they are shown their place.

Test cricket is still the classics as T2o0 is the comics

I can see some players choosing money over prode of representing country - but I deplore it - it is not as if they are stricken with poverty

I do not care if Eng is offering the tour as an afterthought etc a tour of England is great experience to any cricketer and if some do npt go that is opportunity for others

England may a good place to play cricket, but it's not all that good to be playing second fiddle to England. I reckon Srilanka have in their disposal probably for the first time in their short cricket history the chance to tell ECB "Hang on a second, we have plans for our players during this time, our schedule is packed, and also some players might need a bit of a rest", either we are not touring or we are getting our youngsters to get some exposure in England.

Test cricket still by far the best form of Cricket, regardless what the opinion is of the Twenty 20 cash rollers. A proper cricketer still knows that Test Cricket still the best form of cricket, but also knows that Twenty 20 can makes them a quick few bucks, but the discussion of this thread is not about Test Vs. Twenty 20, but Srilanka's issue with the raw deal England tour.
