Cricket

YES Alaistair Cook!


England destroy Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to draw the series level at 2-2. That's more like it. That's the England I know we can be, even in ODI cricket. Not only did we win by 10 wickets, we had nearly half our overs left in order to reach the target of 171 runs (reduced from 174 and to 48 overs after a brief rain delay). Cook batted like a man out to prove what a great opening batsmen he can be not only for Test cricket but for the shorter versions of the game as well, scoring 12 in the first over alone. He reached a magnificent 95 and Kieswetter a sublime 72 as England strolled to victory. The scorecard makes for happy reading as all of the bowlers but Swann got 2 or more wickets and their economies were very respectable.


Bring on Old Trafford. My little brother was worried about this series when we went 2-1 down - how do you feel now, Row?
