1) Sri Lanka in England 2011 ODIs

Lost series 3-2
Sri Lanka in England 2014 ODIs

2) Sri Lanka in England for LOIs
2006 = Won ODIs 5-0 (football World Cup year)
2009 = Reached the ICC World Twenty20 final
2011 = Lost ODIs 3-2 + won sole T20
2013 = Reached ICC Champions Trophy semis
2014 = Won ODIs 3-2 + won sole T20 (football World Cup year)
3) Apart from Angelo Matthew's series losing tactics in the Sharjah Test, Sri Lanka are having a year to remember in 2014
Drew 1-1 vs Pakistan in Tests in the UAE
Beat Bangladesh in all 3 formats in Bangladesh
Won the Asia Cup undefeated
Won the ICC World Twenty20 with 5/6 wins
Won the T20 international in England
Won the ODIs in England
4) Sri Lanka are always touring in the first half of the English summer when they come over, however they would have benefited greatly from the Tests being pushed to June this year and the limited over games being used to commence the international summer. A complete change.
5) Sri Lanka's last two test series in England
2006 = Drew 1-1 in 3
2011 = Lost 1-0 in 3
Not bad going at all from the Islanders
