loses to sri lanka in cricket

I can't speak for the other sports, but this was pretty bad. Sri Lanka is known for only ever winning anything of note in their own backyard, then they go and beat England in England. At least England made it a very close contest. I mean it's hard to make it closer than that in Test cricket.

Sri Lanka >>> England in cricket.

Their football team should do what their cricket team is doing and export players from other countries.

In terms of sporting such as soccer....

USA>>England

Sri Lanka >>> England in cricket.

Is that why England is ranked higher than Sri Lanka despite having a terrible few months?

Yes Sri Lanka played their hearts out in this series with some incredible performances, but let's not pretend they weren't the underdogs. Heck, they're almost always the underdogs when playing outside the subcontinent.

For perspective, Sri Lanka has been playing Test cricket since 1981 and this is only their 4th time winning a series outside of the Indian subcontinent.

ragaz getting shit on

[outbreak]

sri lanka are great in the sub continent and mediocre everywhere else. What's worse is that they lost that series and they don't really have any way to improve from what their current line up is. They don't even have another potential captain in the wings so they can't even get rid of Cook (who is far too passive).
