Cricinfo says that Chandimal will not be playing the semis. So Malinga will be the puppet again controlled by Jaya in the SL show.

good decision by him/ the selectors in terms of what is best for the team. Personally i really dont care who captains the team as long as we win..Hopefully we will not drop Thisara for Prasana as i dont think the latter is consistent with the bat so i cant see any advantage of making the change. yes i know he is a spinner and this wicket is apparently better for spin but we need some variety in our bowling and with Herath and Satchi, we dont need another spinner imho..

Captain who doesn't make the best Xi in a world cup semi is not ideal, but credit to whoever made the decision and chose the best team.

tbh Thisara pretty much makes the side as a lower-order hitter IMO, he can be so effective with it on his day, and with Dilshan in the side that gives us another spin option anyway.

I think Chandimal is captain of the t20 side to groom him for future leadership more than anything, with Mahela still around to call the shots like a boss I don't see the whole thing as much of an issue

can someone in the dug out please feed dilly's guide dog as he obviously ****** needs one trying to take a run off that ball that claimed mahela...he is also making me very angry strike hogging whilst batting at the moment...

Thirimanne has certainly improved his ability to rotate the strike and has a wider range of shots this year, good to see.
