Kamindu Mendis is one mighty talented youngster

I see Wood bowling about 4 bumpers per over and he is not being called, what's going on, was the rules changed?

The Lankans are fighters that new boy Kamindu looks good.

Good fight back fi true

In reply to dayne Had me flummoxed as well.

In reply to Chrissy

That's the type of fight we wish the Windies have in them!

sl got rid of the dead weight in their team the wi need to the same the brathwaithe and dasilva's who have been around long enough not to be better than they are just cruising in this team because no one has stepped up to challenge them in their positions.

check how many SL batsmen average 40+ and compare to windies

In reply to doosra

Surprise Nissanka not in the SL playing XI.. the dude got a FC average of 60.

In reply to anthonyp

he's fallen away at the long format a bit even though his white ball game has taken another step up at the same time

Sri Lanka have a real chance of winning this

Kamindu is one very very special talent

he has every chance of being as good as Sanga if he continues to develop

Getting interesting. Get one or both quickly

In reply to Chrissy

And if the ball change by the umpire did not give England an unfair advantage, they would have been ahead.

The stubborn Root is there & you can't jook Brook that easy!

75/3

Sadly I was correct. Dis done fi true

In reply to Emir
This is the latest form of cheating in global cricket

Pommies by five wickets

In reply to doosra

What you post on the Lanks is correct, but it appears to me that they have a good college program which allow the youth after u19 to develop and eventually play fc. It seems to be that they use the college as a developmental league.

Well it looks like SL is heading down the same road they were on in the first Test, their pacer A Fernando looks like he is going to give them good service for years to come.

It's really sad to see how far Sri Lankan cricket has fallen post Sanga/Mehala era.

Kamindu is the only one providing resistance as his Test average continues to go above 100

In reply to tc1

Their college program is indeed very strong. I've heard about packed stands for school games.

Our bowling better than SL. Their batting is better than ours.

Root just got his 2nd ton of the 2nd Test at Lord's to be an immortal.
Joins Headley, Gooch and Vaughan to do so at cricket's HQ.

Well played Joe...Sri Lanka have played some good cricket but they are
not consistently good to beat up England in England...

ENgland's greatest ever

In reply to hubert

Shiv almost got there.
Fidel couldn't last a ball

In reply to hubert
I was correct - poor Sri Lanka

In reply to doosra

Can't forget that ..poor Shiv

In reply to Chrissy

You on the ball...as usual

Alyuh see how nissanka got caught at slips? I have reiterated it, x, times to play a cut shot or better, a late cut hybrid an uppercut shot! But, does anyblooody listen? Facting no! I vex...


Btw, how's the attendance as compared to WI territories!? Dwl.
