The year ended with the Sri Lanka visiting us at home. While we were competitive in the first Test, we were hammered in the second (our only Test so far this year) by 456 runs.

Now the ratio of innings defeats to tests have decreased after the horrendous 2007 season (5 of 6 Tests were innings defeats).

one of those innings defeats to SA was the strangest. after sakib took 3 quick wickets, BD was actually in striking distance, theoretically at least, of taking a first innings lead. from that position we allowed boucher and some other dude to make a 200 run partnership and we lost by an innings. but up to that partnership, we were actually looking to take a lead!!
