That doesn't apply to Dimuth? No respect points for him?

We would have a better chance of reaching 3rd or 4th without Dimuth imo.

Can’t take a Somalian’s opinions on cricket too seriously

I am trying to figure out whether Regista is actually serious or just trolling

The International Cricket Council on Sunday lavished praise on former Sri Lankan captain and prolific opener Dimuth Karunaratne, who brought the curtains down on his glittering international career along with his 100th Test against Australia in Galle.

Karunaratne scored 36 and 14 in his farewell Test as Australia won the match by nine wickets to make a clean sweep of the two-game series. “Dimuth has had a very fine career during which he excelled as a batter in the most traditional format of the game, becoming only the seventh from his country to feature in 100 Tests,” said ICC chairman Jay Shah in a release.

“His commitment has been second to none and he has been a great ambassador of the game. I am sure fans of Test cricket the world over will miss him,”

“On behalf of the ICC, I would like to congratulate him for an outstanding career and wish him all the best for the future. I hope he continues to contribute to the game in the years to come, using his experience of playing in different countries.” The left-hander made his international debut against England in an ODI at Manchester in 2011
