Sri Lanka--- seems like everybody bowling spin,couldn't we have played at least one more spinner,Shamar Joseph does not look like a 20/20/bowler and Shamar Springer shouldn't be bowling in 20/20 cricket,maybe he may turn out a batsman in 20/20 in the future.

In the end its is the wi incompetence against spin that was the diference . not springer or joseph or any playing other spin bowler.wi problem they have to much one trick ponies in the batting . good against pace but clueless against spin

I think we could have limited SL to a much lower score if Sinclair and Fabian Allen had played,both can bat and are decent spinners.

I just hate the idea thatwe can't put up a fight,the idea was not to loose wickets too early and that was doing OK till we went looking for shots too early.They didn't use ah lil brain.

did they misread the track a little?

the commies said lots of grass was shaved off the track

SL went with extra spinner

bottom line tho is they struggle to bat good quality spin bowling on a turner

Allen should have been in the team for all the matches in these 20/20 in SL in place of Springer.
