Just when one thought it couldn't get worse

[chickenfeet]

Well one might have thought that England would wait until Trueman was buried before having him turning in his grave. England cap four woeful bowling performances against Sri Lanka with one that plumbs new depths of ineptitude. The batsmen gave them a very defensible total to bowl at and they made a complete shambles of it. Only Dalrymple bowled like he had at least a faint whiff of an idea of a clue. Harmison's numbers sum it up really; 10 overs 0/97 with 5 wides and 3 no balls. If he was Japanese I would think he'd be obliged to commit seppuku at Fred's funeral. Bresnan and Ali were even worse. This may well have been the worst bowling performance by an England team ever.

If they take this shower to Australia there is an excellent chance that every test and ODI record in the book will be broken.
