SK_IH Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Lets see: big liability in the field , below average performances with the ball, apparent decline in pace so it was a no brainer, common sense decision by the selectors Rasgulla and sourab10forever 1 1 Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yup. He was the least effective fast bowler even in the Indian series. His time is up. Maybe a consultant or a coach. Link to comment

From whatever little I have seen of his bowling, Chameera hovers around 140K and can hit 145+ on his effort deliveries. Rightarmfast and express bowling 2 Link to comment

I remember in early 2000, Dilhara Fernando used to hit 148+ at will. I was surprised to see a Sri Lankan bowling at that pace. Sadly, those were the days of Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee . Dilhara Fernando was never recognized for the pace he used to generate! @express bowling Do u remember? express bowling and Vilander 2 Link to comment
