This guy Dominic is thinking like me or I am thinking like him. Either way I like his comments made the concerns re Sad Sam and Udara regarding age. The comments about Madushanka re discovering pace and movement are encouraging as well as comments on Mishara, Pawan or Pavan. Don't not have any ideas on new Ratnayakes, Tharindu. Let's hope these youngsters can move from A to national, I hope Dunith can do too. It's time to move from the brigade of Dimuth(gone), Mathews and Chandimal., he could play this year, let's see how he goes.

So needs to bring back Akila.

Who is this Estelle? Did she play for our women's team. The acceptance of women in cricket are the norm and it's good to see women commentators on cricket.noverall better for the game and popularity, so many girls and women watching IPL is good. I must say I was somewhat taken back by the Indian woman commentator wearing micro minis while commentating. No, I am not sexist. but, and Indian woman commenting on cricket? My father would have had a heart attack. He would have banished me and my sisters from watching those matches. Haha

SL v BAN. The great rivalry. Blow for blow.

How much did Asalanka pay for this?

Quote:Another heartening sight this season was Charith Asalanka finally rolling up his sleeves in First-Class cricket. In seasons gone by, his appearances were as rare as hen’s teeth. But with SSC in a relegation scrap, Asalanka put his hand up, then captained Colombo right through the NSL campaign, racking up over 300 runs.

Having previously been on the selectors’ blind side for the longer format, Asalanka has now built a solid case for himself. The whispers about him becoming Sri Lanka’s next all-format captain are growing louder — and who knows, that captain’s armband may not be too far away.

Always wait for your top local batsman to lose form. Thereafter you do not have to select him. But India experiments and risks their youngest to identify the 1

IPL is not international cricket.

Lahiru Udara continues his good form with a hundred in the 4 day game against AFG A. Nuwanidu and Pasindu have failed.
