BEST TEST TEAM OF THE SUMMER -:
Sri Lanka
For their outstanding fight back against all odds in the test series and despite losing the second test they were clearly the better team. On the eve of the first test between Eng and SL, the consensus among English cricket pundits was that beating SL would just be a mere formality for England and sterner test awaited the home team against the Pakistanis. Talk about getting it wrong!!!
