I hope he delivers more, but it shows how shallow our talent pool is when our No 3 batsman in an Ashes test has never scored a first class century…until today. Not his fault of course, he’s played less than 30 proper games.Excellent innings from Bethel, orthodox and controlled. He looks an excellent player and is apparently very grounded.
Finally.. 4-1 series win. Should have been closer but poor preparation and tactics from England particularly early in the series. Starc and Head outstanding along with Carey. Root finally showed his class out here which was great for us to see. Bethel is the find of the series.
Yes top innings, SL have made a fast start thoughBrilliant innings from England in Sri Lanka in the deciding ODI. Root and Brook both getting to 100. Currently 333-3 after 48.4 overs. The first time England have got to 300 in Sri Lanka in this format.
