Sri Lanka vs England
Sri Lankans (309-2d , 216-6) beat Middlesex (360-8 & 161) by 4 wickets
Sri Lanka has won the tour opener of their England tour against the Middlesex, captained by English batsmen Andrew strauss.
Sri Lanka beat an under-strength Middlesex side by four wickets on Monday, their determination to play the Sri Lankan way overcoming a chaotic start to a tour beset by absentees and late arrivals.
“We are not here to lose or even to do things the English way,” Stuart Law, Sri Lanka’s Australian coach said afterwards.
“We’re here to play cricket the way Sri Lanka play cricket and if we do we’ll be successful.”
That style of aggressive cricket enabled them to trounce England in Colombo during the quarter-final of the World Cup.
