I don't know whether I am more annoyed I missed it or more annoyed that I didn't put a bet on. If I lived in Cardiff I certainly would have been annoyed if I hadn't wandered down to the Swalec Stadium this afternoon. But 99 times out of 100 it would not have been worth it. Cricket is a funny game sometimes. Who would have thought that the Sri Lankans would have collapsed so limply. What a fantastic finish though - it's just such a shame that hardly anyone was there to see it.
Cardiff has of course already served up a highly entertaining finish in its brief life as a Test ground. Who can forget Monty Panesar and Jimmy Anderson blocking England to a famous draw at the start of the 2009 Ashes, thankfully that time in front a full house.
Anyway well done England. It will be hard for Sri Lanka to come back into the series now. However, I am sure they will not bat that badly at Lord's and I am sure they will be praying for better weather!
