Yeah whoever used the term great I think was more on future potential, we know what he meant. An overseas series win these days is pretty rare, we are good at home like most countries, not so good away. A superb India side came here in the summer and we still won comfortably in the end...
So if we do win tommorow it's a fantastic achievement for a newish side but SL are not as strong as they were..we are still,however,battling conditions, the pitches and the heat....so yes excellent from us
Spinners wise I don't see it like some on here, leach and Ali have been good, Moeen leaks runs but generally get wickets, Leach is a bit like Panesar...right on the money pretty consistent to give Root control.
Rashid is good but Root seems to use him just to clean out the tail...I'm not sure that's enough but they are bowling as a unit.
More generally regarding the comments, most on here know their cricket, different opinions of course but that's the nature of the ameteur game and the forum reflects that
