Over-by-over report: How will England fare in their second and final Test series of the summer? Join our writers
Miller’s got the radar of doom out againIt’s bleak, but there’s hope. Much like the global political outlook. Delayed start at Old Trafford but looking more promising for the rest of the dayan old blog of mine on the first Test between England and Sri Lanka in this country back in 1984
Thanks Steve. It’s a great story, this, especially Duleep Mendis emasculating Lord Beefy. We covered it in an old Joy of Six as well.It’s still November in Manchester. Can’t see there being any play before midday, and probably not before lunch.For the current England team, he wasn’t just a storied name from the past to emulate but someone who was perched in their dressing room until a couple of years ago, passing on advice as a coach.
I thought LBW and caught short leg were in the game. It helps when you’re trying to set up a batter if some ball spin and some go straight. You’ve got to spin the ball to get the drift; when I was younger I didn’t put as much on the ball. I like watching different spinners round the world. I love cricket; sometimes people call me a badger. I watch Nathan Lyon quite a bit. I love the way he gets over the ball and how he’s so consistent.
