Can you do one for bowlers too, with SR and Avg

Lakmal
Pradeep
Embul
Dilruwan
Sandakan
Vishwa

Anyone else??

That tall right arm guy I forget his name..played in AU a few years ago.

Yeah I'll get to it soon.

In the bat report I included Sanga Mahela and Dilshan as well, but deselected them from the deault view becuase it's embarrassing to them to put in a same graph as these clowns

You mean Kasun Rajitha?? And you forgot to include Lahiru kumara in that list.

“Test batting is very much about your defence. You’ve got to trust it first and foremost and your attacking shots come from your defence. When we play at a frantic pace like we played (on Monday), the only thing it tells me is that we don’t seem to trust our defence enough on a wicket like that.”

“I was asked earlier why we didn’t play with intent. I think we didn’t trust our defence enough on a wicket like that so we thought we had to attack to survive. I want to sit with them and ask why their defence is not good enough; it’s just a little bit about belief. Those are some things I am going to delve into and start talking about with the players and formulating game plans around it.”

“Angelo (Mathews) in the first innings of this Test and the second innings of the first Test, along with (Lahiru) Thirimanne and Kusal Janith for a period of time, really trusted their defence; that was one of our key mentors. I’ve watched the guys train and they are certainly good enough,” said Arthur.

Although Arthur has been with the national team for a year, he has overseen only three Test series.

“I’ve been working in Sri Lanka for a year now, but this is only my third Test series. I am still getting to find out about the guys. The plusses for us were certainly that first innings (against South Africa) at the Centurion we were outstanding, our batting was excellent; so disappointed we got all the injuries. We had a hundred at the Wanderers with Dimuth (Karunaratne), Angelo Mathews in this series has been outstanding, so has been Lasith Embuldeniya.

“We’ve worked really hard with our pace attack and we got a very good one with six very good pace bowlers, very good spinners, some finger spinners, wrist spinners and it’s just going to be for me getting our batters in the right frame to score enough runs. I do think we got the bowling attack and the batting is about us just going back and assessing the game plans,” Arthur said.

“We need to start playing from the front, need to be able to win the moments that present themselves to really put the opposition under pressure and every time we get into that position the opposition can’t win the next session. That’s something that we are going to work on. There have been a number of positives individually but now it’s time for us to collectively have some positives because we need to win cricket games.”

Asela had a finger injury which took a long time to heal and then had a few other injuries as well which left him out of the game for a significant period. He took part in the 2020 FC competition and the LPL but didn't perform consistently to warrant a place. He has put on some weight as well and at 35 years of age, I guess not much cricket left in him which is unfortunate.

TBF, this is hardly anything new for a new SL bat on the scene. For some even if you are not new *hint hint*

I think it's clear he has some issues with the bouncing ball etc but I think he deserves a chance to work on those and get a decent run.

Agree. I think Roshen should play regularly at least at home. Horses for courses

He plays sensibly unlike most SL batsmen. Can't see anything wrong in sticking with him regardless of struggles overseas since they have given so many matches in a single run to weak players like Thirimanne, Mendis and Dickwella.

So... JB was particularly interested in this comparison.

16 innings was the last time The Great Mendis averaged higher than Sanga. But of course we all know that he's better so he's gonna catch up soon.

Mendis's average is gonna have to pop like the Bitcoin Bull run of 2020 soon to "pootentially" become the next sanga

Let's get Kalu to elaborate on this.

Yeah thanks, but I have to scrap data from CI. Don't want to ping them constantly so I still have to manually refresh this to update. Wish they offered a public API, even a limited one.
