Surely Kumara must be up thre too

Considering deliveries above 125 could give a more accurate result when they calculate the average bowling speeds of guys who have hit 145. Malinga was mostly operating at early 130s in the last few years. His slow balls were usually around 115-120.

Thank god Asitha is playing tonight.

He needs to play on a consistent basis.

Only if he performs. Not like Kusal Mendis

On a different note good to see the fast bowlers improve their batting a bit too . For example
Charmera was hopeless with the bat before but now can even hit a 6! Binura F doesn’t look too bad either .

Kumara is getting close to 100 which has been a difficult milestone to achieve for SL fast bowlers

[Bada]

Vaas was close to 26 when he got there. Malinga and Lakmal just under 27 and 31 respectively. Dilhara almost 33.

Kumara should be able to get to the milestone this year with 7 more tests to be played, if he can stay fit.

Pradeep has fallen off the radar hasn't he? Decent bowling still in LPL. Still generating 140. Any chances for come back

At 37 years of age and last played for SL in early 2022, I guess it's the end of Pradeep's international career.
