Sri Lanka in Zimbabwe 2020

THE FINAL FRONTIER



This will be the beginning of Kusal Mendis' ascend to greatness. This reason alone should be good enough to be glued to your TV sets.

Hope they drop Dilruwan. Zimbos might make him look like Murali. I think giving opportunities to Sandakan isn't a bad idea. He has bowled a few decent spells in Tests and his record isn't awful. It's the format he can be good at.

Yes definitely. Watch out all the haters. He will be thrashing zimbabwe bowlers to all corners, and wisden will be talking about this innings for many years to come. All hail Mendis ascend to the top

New selection policy

Quote:De Mel, however, doesn’t see a point in leaving Dickwella out of the side for the next assignment to just to teach him a lesson. "Keeping him out of the side is not going to help anyone. Probably we will keep him on the tour but not play him. That will teach him a harsh lesson. If you just leave him out and don’t look after, that is of no use. Just throwing out players is not the best thing because you have identified his skill. One thing is that his wicket keeping is top class. But it is frustrating to see him throw away his wicket."

So how will the wickets work for back to back test? I presume they will use 2 separate strips and somehow protect the second test pitch through the first test. Wonder if this has happened before where back to back test are played at the same venue as such a short time span.

Pretty sure Pakistan played back to back Tests in Harare before. ZIM won one in that series.

Pitch is irrelevant anyway because Mendis will combat that and bring glory to SL
