[Kenneth Viljoen]

To me, this is the group of death ..

Four teams who should be confident of qualifying and then Nepal which could be the next big thing in cricket with their support.

 

[ataraxia]

Stacked.

Sri Lankan selectors tend to give a lot of chances to players in multiple formats if they have done well in one format ,even if they are not suited to other formats..

I think Dhananjaya Silva can only work if he opens the batting in white ball cricket, he's more of a touch player than a power hitter ..

In saying that, if the wickets are a bit on the slow side, his off spin will come in very handy and he's an excellent fielder..

They already have Pathum for that

 

[Silver Silva]

They already have Pathum for that

Exactly which is why DDS shouldn't be in the middle order , if he can't open he shouldn't play T20 cricket

Is he the Sri Lankan counterpart to Roston 'Infinity Gauntlet' Chase?

 

[Silver Silva]

Is he the Sri Lankan counterpart to Roston 'Infinity Gauntlet' Chase?

Hmm I rate DDS in Test cricket , he scores tough runs and now he's even the skipper..
I think him and Roston Chase do a similar job in white ball cricket for sure

 

[Socerer 01]

Is he the Sri Lankan counterpart to Roston 'Infinity Gauntlet' Chase?

i think he’s better than Chase

 

[Silver Silva]

i think he’s better than Chase

A lot better in Tests , but Chase actually averages more in odi cricket (26 ) than DDS (25) and they both have strike rates in the 70's ..

In T20 DDS averages more but it's not saying much cause both have low averages and strike rates , average with the ball is similar..
Really frustrating player cause he scores fairly quickly in Test cricket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

i think he’s better than Chase

No doubt about this…comparatively speaking, as in strength of teams and how skillful the Sri Lankans are…

This is really sad. These events need to have ICC windows and be protected.

County commitments force Ackermann and van der Merwe to miss T20 World Cup

Injuries have forced Brandon Glover and Timm van der Gugten to miss out too
