A team scoring large amount of runs isn't necessarily exciting considering that they scored in almost 3 days, even with rain interruptions which took of 50 overs, they just don't have any exciting player to watch like Shoaib, Gilchrist or Afridi.
Thats why they are a low class team in one days, they just can't speed things up, they play slow, defending.

Without Gough for the whole series and without Caddick during the second innings of the last test match, England bundled out Sri Lanka cheaply and then required to score 50 runs in 6 overs to win the match, did it in 5 overs without the loss of any wicket. Now who thinks they are boring.
Watch out India.

From the scorecard, Srilanka failed both as bowlers and batsman regardless of getting a good start in the first test.
They don't have inconsistent batting on foreign, they just suck.
I remember last year at this moment where Pakistan embarasingly lost the first test in Lords but Waqar and the Pakistani batsman came back and destroyed England.
