Jon Norman is joined by the former bowlers Darren Gough and Gareth Batty to dissect England's 4th ODI loss in a row - this time to Sri Lanka in Colombo. They discuss England's fragile middle order, a potential lack of identity and react to post-match interviews from both Captains. They then preview Saturday's ODI - a match that England must win to avoid losing the series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
