Chance of a clean sweep of victories in all six test this summer was thwarted by a batting display in the second innings with a lead, that would not do justice to a team batting in a old JPL game on a Sunday afternoon. Swing from the hip from the word go, resulted into Sri Lanka back into the game, and apart from an innings from Smith, everyone else can hang their heads in shame.
Bazball gone made, it has a place once you gain control of the game and push on to take it away from the opposition.
Let?s hope a lesson learnt, that Pope has Captain does not need to be aggressive all the time .
