Feels good the annoying english press are not covering this game.
the constant moaning about warm up games are so annoying.

The BBC are covering it as are most other places I get my cricket news from, so don't really know what makes you think that.

Think he's talking about all the usual journalists who comment on Twitter.

The warm ups in SA didn't get much coverage. The BBC didn't even have a scorecard. They're covering this though.

Runs for Shanaka. I'd guess he wasn't in plans to play in the Leeds Test.

Meant no one covering the game, IE no one really writing any match reports on it.
No sun, Telegraph, Daily mail.
The likes of Newman, Etheridge etc are not at the game either.

TBH it is good they not covering it was always annoying when they would complain getting paid to watch a cricket game and it seemed really selfish that teams should do what they want to see and not what would help them prepare for the test/odi/t20 series.

A better batting performance from Sri Lanka, though they will be worried that most of their runs came from lower-order batsmen Shanaka and Herath....
