Sri Lanka All-Time ODI XI

[JamisBanda]

What's Kule's stats against top teams ? I was thinking to pick third seamer since Sana and Ara both in team but second proper spinner has come in handy most times in past.

Kula against the same teams - 157 wickets (148 innings) at 37.3, econ 5.06

[The One]

I mean, definitely on paper Ajantha is a walk in. And he's actually done better than I expected. But also in your heart you kinda know that he's mostly about the mystery and when it vanished so did he. And he's got like zero cricket brains.

Kule isn't much better either. I'm kinda really unsure here. Honestly 20 overs between those guys are probably better, that way we can fit in another batter.

[Bada]

This is significant. Mendis is definitely a better pick than Kula if you're looking for a strike bowler. Keep this table. Might come in handy when you scrape the barrel to pick the 3rd XI...

[JamisBanda]

OK then

Aravinda
Mendis

[Bada]

The difference between Aravinda and Dilshan there makes sense. He put all of that extra body fat into his action and turned the ball. Better off break bowler compared to Theekshana. Didn't need paddy field pitches to generate turn.

[Regista]

Aravinda

And for bowler I’d go with Rangana Herath the traitor.

Spin is our strength let’s stick with it.

Mahela
Herath

[JamisBanda]

Actually I forgot Dilshan in team as well , I'm inclined to go without a fourth bowler or pick Mathews as fourth bowler if we need to pick a player.

so

Aravinda
Mathews
