England need to win in style against Sri Lanka to rekindle the Ashes spirit

England cricket supporters are looking for a top-class performance from the Test team against Sri Lanka in Cardiff this week.

Leadership changes shouldn’t hurt Sri Lanka

In his regular CricInfo ‘Bowl at Boycs’ feature, Geoff Boycott discusses the best-led teams in the World Cup, Yorkshire’s chances in the County Championship, Australia’s selection debate and how to improve one’s game on the off side.
