Where im sitting at work now i can see the stands getting full at old trafford!

 

[Fawad2010]

The Final of the series!

I think SL will take this one

 

[Fawad2010]

Broad left out for Samit Patel!

so, ENG finally make a change, will an extra spin option work in their favor? SL are pretty good players of spin..

 

[mastermind_quad]

Yes SL will win this ...come Sri Lanka ....!!!!!! come on

 

[Robert]

Slow, slow wicket. Don't expect many runs.

I think Cook and Trott will do well on this.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Old Trafford looks like such a depressing place. Poor atmosphere, dodgy weather, rubbish outfield.
