None of our greatest cricketers were powerful hitters except for Sana, and although cricket have evolved since, I don't think power matters that much. Stamina is something anyone can work on, and these guys don't. That's my point, look at these guys badas, at 40+ I'm in better shape than half of these guys and I am NOT in good shape. I'm just a touch better than mugas dad bod.
Look at Sana, Vaas, Sanga etc. They all cared to stay fit, and even still are. Same thing with commitment and hard work, we all hear stories about how hard murali Sanga etc worked despite being so gifted. Have we ever heard about extra time Kusal puts in the net?
Again, it's not just this generation's fault or something like that, it's just they are in a position to be able to do bare minimum and get away with it. Which is stemming from our larger cricket structure rotting.
True. Not sure how so many of these guys are fat. Like its really not hard to get somewhat lean. Mendis looks good though
Apart from spin bowlers and fat ass BR, all SL players look pretty fit to me. I think this is the fittest this team has ever been ? Back in the day SL players were either overweight or malnourished.
