The burden of expectation...

Sun, Feb 22, '26 at 7:53 AM

A massive home crowd, and knowledge of home conditions does not always mean success. The expectations of a home crowd aka 12th Man can sometimes mess with your head. Sri Lanka have now lost two games on the trot at home.


Sri Lanka could not hold it together, India next?

West Indies must first win tomorrow. Let us start with that. This could come down to NRR.

This SL team has been playing poorly for a while. Men like Ranatunga never feel any weight
