Today's cricket

Two games today.
The England game was washed out, luckily for England. I'm usually far more optimistic about our chances than most people, but I have a horrible feeling we'll lose this ODI series heavily. At least now it can only be 4-0.

India and Sri Lanka played out the inevitable drawn on a road in Ahmedabad. I personally think these dead, flat pitches are fatal to cricket. I am biased as a bowler, but it makes for a really boring spectical if there are 21 wickets and 7 centuries in five days. Pitches need to be far more in favour of the bolwer to allow a balanced game that might actually reach a conclusion. If that means sometimes going too far and having the odd game where ball dominates bat then i think that's a price worth paying for some decent cricket.
