Former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara said he would give the advantage to England in terms of winning the test match series against Sri Lanka.

He expressed this during a video interview with British cricket commentator and former cricketer Nasser Hussain.

He said this in response to a question raised by Hussain about the prediction for the series.

"I want Sri Lanka to win the test series quite easily probably in four days but I think England come to this series with the advantage,” Sangakkara said.

“Last time around, the test matches hinged on small moments that England won much better than Sri Lanka did. I think this series as well, it will be about that,” he emphasized.

“Little moments that need to be converted or grabbed in order to turn the tide of the match. Right now, in those moments, England will be much more confident because Sri Lanka just come from a very bad tour of South Africa where they had a lot of injuries. I hope their confidence is high, he underlined.

“So, I actually give the advantage to England in terms of winning the series’ he added.

Sanga is becoming the darling of England, they would love a dark skinned guy praising the English team at the expense of his own countrie’s team. But gullible Sri Lankans would still call him a Legend.

If this guy had a university education I don’t think he would have sold his soul and said things to undermine Sri Lankan team

Sanga is correct - looking at the current side playing in south africa I thought that was a pathetic show of test cricket of shame from our players
