oops

No, not yet. I reckon Sana has a year or so left in him, and the less challenging times ahead of him this year should see him returning to a semblance of form.

Also, this thread should have had a poll option.

SL leaves out Jayasuriya for the WI tour .... is it a hint for him?

 

[deira]

yup he is a gonner, unless the openers fail.

 

[ret]

may be, it's time for him to focus on 20T, where his quick 20s would be more useful

jayasuriya will always be missed, he changed the oneday game with his batting. I think this was the inning against England that really changed the way he batted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgpJEf_hULI

He should retire only after Sri Lanka finds a suitable replacement for him. Even if not in form with the bat, he brings a lot of exprience and motivation to the side.

Agreed. Tell that to Fleming.

deira: Why is it ALWAYS England that gets smashed by a dominant performance by a batsman or bowler?

The official/unofficial word is that he got rested along with Murali for the series versus West Indies. Basically they are just hopefully he finds some domestic form and they can send him off in Asia Cup or next home series.

It's not. Everyone gets smashed by dominant players, that's the nature of them.
