Anderson Inspires England
The first Day International in the summer between England and Sri Lanka, played at the Oval, was predictably ( in this summer so far, anyway ) a rain affected game. Heavy downpours in London meant that the 50 over game was reduced to 32 overs involving the two sides. England had been humbled by Sri Lanka in the ICC World Cup earlier this year, so they very much had a score to settle. The brand new captain in the 1 day side for England was Alistair Cook, replacing Andrew Strauss, while Dilshan took over the helm for the Sri Lankans.
