Cant recall a 3 game series being this rain affected.
Morning is very bright in Colombo. But in Kandy you never know. They say that Kndy weather is like women. You can never predict it.
Bit unfair to be honest. Rain ruined this contest; the Pak RSA series was awful played on wickets where you need 10 days for a result.
The carrom ball is that variation Mendis bowls, seems like a few bowlers can do it now."Cricinfo - Herath to Sammy, no run, ooh, the carrom ball spits out and Sammy deals with it like someone who's never heard of the carom game. Shoulders arms and has his heart in the mouth as it whizzes past off stump"
Sounds like Benn is playing a blinder on Cricinfo...
Yeah, I know that, just surprised to read that Herath is bowling it. Saw him (Herath) bowling the doosra in the last test as well.
Apparently Herath has been bowling it before Mendis!
Herath had that way back in 1999 and made some Aussies look foolish by bowling it.
Agreed. I feel a bit robbed tbh because I really fancied seeing how the Sri Lankans were going to try and bowl to Lil Bravo after his first 3 innings. Roach versus Samaraweera, Jayawardene and Sangakarra was also shaping up really well.
although then he followed that up with
like that game in Centurion between England and SA back in the day?
