    VMMM, how are batsmen going to survive

    I think your going a little overboard, and that’s coming from a Sri Lankan cricket tragic. Vaas is as good as done and shouldn't be talked about as someone who'll be part of the Sri Lankan attack for much longer. The only reason he keeps getting picked is because a) no one wants to disturb the...

    ***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

    are you talking about the same player? ^ what he said. he was consistently hovering between the high 130's and low 140s and getting good movement in the air. why does he need to be able to bat? a bowlers job is to take wickets.

    So now what do you prefer? ODI's vs 2020s

    I voted odi's only because i enjoy the 'arm wrestle' - but when i think about it; it rarely happens because sides tend to just collapse rather than sustain under pressure. at the same time 20/20 is so unsatisfying because its not a contest between bat and ball. i suppose im undecided. both are...

    Ambrose Vs Mcgrath?

    I voted Curtly Ambrose. It came down to two things: a) I would rather watch Curtly, and b) I would rather not face Curtly.

    Sri Lanka's post World Cup ODI form

    I think most people who follow Sri Lanka realized that the performance of the World Cup wasn’t the beginning - it was the end. And we have a fair way yet to fall. Tom Moody tenure was a bandaid on an open sore. The selectors had already mismanaged senior players for over a decade. If you ran...

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in the West Indies

    i thought amerasinghe was not playing due to injury. kulasekera is beyond a joke and therefore the selectors are likely to reward him with a game. i like that line up. i'd maybe drop herath and bring amerasinghe if he is fit. i can't believe that bandara wasn't picked in the squad.

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in the West Indies

    Generally speaking Sinhalese names are comprised of at least 5 names. The first couple tend to be ancestral titles, locations, clans etc. Usually the last three names are the ones used in the western sense. But these names are rarely used because they imply a lot of personal information which...

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in the West Indies

    Samaraweera is 32. 32 is okay to debut for your country. But not so for a player who has been afforded as many opportunities as Samaraweera. The game in SL is in disarray is because we carried has-beens and non-performers till the day they chose otherwise or their selection was no longer...

    Gilchrist Pads Up For Channel Nine

    Chappelle did his homework this summer and spat out some insightful things about India. But gets annoying when he regurgitates what little he knows over and over again - often in the same match. Same applies to Lawry, except I can't remember the last time he said anything interesting. Taylor...
