Sometime you just have to suck it and let these guys play, make mistakes and have them learn from it. The typical 20 or odd so players that we know will always be in the contention. Liyanage looks good, very good, most importantly, he seems very calm and doesn't show emotions. He is 26, i'd given him an A tour chance and he sees how he performs. Wouldn't rush him in just yet.
I have very high hopes of Kamindu Mendis, he can score all around the park, bowl decent finger spin with both arms for a batting allrounder. He hits big sixes with ease. Unfortunately he has been disappointing. The occasion might have gotten to him. Should be a regular A team player and should be a decent middle order player for the national team. He can be back up to Chamika. But he needs to be consistent.
Out of the few matches that I watched, the talent is decent and the 3-4 matches all were interesting. I like this season better than the last one. I know there weren't big stars, but it was still fun to watch.
the spin bowling talent is insane in SL. THe batting is okay with Asalanka, Mendis, Janith, Danuska and a couple others doing well and the fast bowling seems pretty awful barring Nuwan Thushara and Binura.
While I agree with the rest of the comment, I'm not sure if we can judge the spinners from these pitches. I mean kinda like Bangladesh spinners beating every team in their home country, but looked like jokers in the t20 world cup. It will be interesting to see if he have any spinners, who can do well in pitches in SENA countries. I didn't follow all the matches but in one LPL match I saw Samit Patel bowling unplayable deliveries, unless he became an overnight spin sensation, I feel the pitches play a big role in assisting spinners here.
