Very aggressive bat with lots of unorthodox, behind the wicket shots.
I like him but de Dickwalla can't maintain consistency in performance. Gives it away too easily.

.

You see the Lankans plan to play Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerthi Bandara Herath in two tests and then replace him with Mahamarakkala Kurukulasooriya Patabendige Akila Dananjaya

This way they are managing the workload of the 40 year old sixer

 
goofballs 2018-06-06 22:18:03 

In reply to Narper
Herath is a sixer, like Kumara.
I was messing about the collusion bit.

From what I read last night, seems like the better spinner. Mahela or somebody spotted him bowling to the guys at net practice and he could bowl anything, off break, doosra, leg break, googly, etc.
I think the stat showed that he played together with no doosra Dilruba in a test.
I had him in my final 9 with Kumara but with him not starting and time running out I just wrote in a name that came to mind that I was familiar with, Chandimal, as my second substitute. Crazy entry.
Then I would have started Chandimal.
I look forward to watching Akila bowl. 8 wickets in his only test.

Fantasy makes you learn cricket and strange players quickly. Like in a few hours last night.

I got Mendis, and Chase who is like a centurion.

I hope somebody get dropped (Dilruba?) so I can still have Mendis in my starting line up when Dhananjaya de Silva returns after his father's dead work.

Sri Lanka have lost Angelo Mathews midway through their West Indies tour, after he left for home due to personal reasons. The news gets worse for the team: fast bowler Lahiru Gamage has been ruled out of the tour as well, thanks to a fractured finger sustained on the final day of the first Test.
damn....


I have Angelo in my FL 5.
However, relative to my reserves.....I have:

Lots of changes happening from you guys reports.
Matthews should have never come. Fighting injury and unable to bowl, barely being declared fit to play as a batsman.
Team might do better without his dead weight. (I like him a lot as a complete player, when fit).
I hope they drop Dilruba. Low class bowler. I mean sub test level, yet he has 100 wickets, maybe all in Asia. Unlike Bishoo and Chase.
The guy whose father died should start tomorrow.
Kusul P's spot in jeopardy but then again they might want to drop first class bully Roshen.
WI would probably go unchanged in as much as Devon must go.

Careful, it is a sprint.
Newbie looks like he/she was sent out to blast a scorching pace.
Kay and Narps look like they like being up there with the pace, based on just couple races observed.
Problem is last race Narps stayed up front throughout with nobody able to ketchup. Just like Justify.

This is not my type of race. All the Lankans unknown so it is like running in a maiden special. Unpredictable.Anything can happen.

I say Lanka might win this test.

I like the moves by Lanka. Old man Herath and low class spinner Dilruba gone. Like Akila but didn't pick him.


didn't i tell you this will happen big grin

Narper 6/6/18 7:44:22 PM
In reply to goofballs

Your fiver did not get selected. I sense collusion to mislead
.

You see the Lankans plan to play Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerthi Bandara Herath in two tests and then replace him with Mahamarakkala Kurukulasooriya Patabendige Akila Dananjaya

This way they are managing the workload of the 40 year old sixer


I catered for thatbig grin

1.Dinesh Chandimal
2.Roston Chase
3.Jason Holder
4.Rangana Herath
5.Kemar Roach

1. Akila Dananjaya
2. Shimron Hetmyer


Now watch Akila take a fiver in each innings

I don't believe Matthew is comfortable playing under Chandimal.

This Lankan team is not a cohesive unit.
According to the Commentator, it was the birth of his 2nd child he went back to Lanka for.

Well, easy to check who doesn't have him as everybody else has.
Will affect the Leader board as the following don't have him:

Heavy duty word there! Does it trouble you?
I promise I won't ever ever again mention your horsey dashing to the lead but fegging out. It's not you, ok. just your team/hoss. razz

just a fantasy game

I guess you haven't played fantasy games before where the intent and purpose is to compete (without material rewards)by doing homework, research, observation, analysis of the field, etc. then hope for some luck as we don't control what the players or WICB do on and off the field.
Baseball games.... you end up changing your team everyday (among your draft picks).
Every Sunday one has to decide which QB or RB is playing against who is weaker against the pass/run, analyze the opposition and come to some supremely intellectual decisions...................and lose!
My five year old used to play and whip his league of adults.
It is an exercise for the sports enthusiasts.
cool

 
goofballs 2018-06-17 12:15:24 

Forget fantasy. When you play chess, don't you look at the whole board, see possible moves you and your opponent could make and then act accordingly?
Forget chess, it is complicated.
How about trump chaal? Don't you look at which trump or Aika already passed and then guess what your opponent could have and play accordingly.
Those are the things that make games worthwhile. Mental challenges as well as flow of adrenaline.

We are in a very passive competition here without making any changes. Still, for some of us, we have that enthusiasm to make it a sport by seeing which team is doing what.
JUST FOR FUN.
Lighten up, Man. Let us have some fun. Intensity is good.
Keeps us off the streets, or race tracks!
Maybe it is better for some to just buy a random pick lotto ticket, then swipe it in the machine to see if they win. No other sporting endeavor involving research, observation, superior intellectual decisions and a healthy sense of friendly competition.
Then there are some pseudo experts yahso who would not compete because they are afraid that their lack of knowledge of the game would be found out if their team loses, forgetting it is just a game. smile

Narper 2018-06-22 20:06:17 

In reply to goofballs

Judicial Commissioner, The Hon Michael Beloff QC, has dismissed Dinesh Chandimal’s appeal after the Sri Lanka captain was found guilty of changing the condition of the ball in breach of clause 41.3 of the ICC’s Standard Test Match Playing Conditions during the second day’s play in the second cricket Test against the Windies in St Lucia on Saturday. Mr Beloff’s written reasoned decision will be provided on Wednesday 27 June.



Chandimal will therefore miss the day/night Barbados Test, which commences on Saturday. Furthermore, and because two suspension points correspond to four demerit points, these will remain on Chandimal’s disciplinary record.

However, Sri Lanka Cricket revealed on Friday (June 22) that Herath split the webbing between his ring and small fingers of his non bowling hand during training on Thursday and was a doubtful starter for the day-night Test.

Walco has displayed some pretty wretched form recently.

Good to see him showing some class even if it was a top edge running away to the boundary. lol
