Frustrated 1,193 Posted Thursday at 07:40 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:40 AM If they continue to play like this, I m afraid SL might not qualify for test cricket in another couple of years. Link to post

Saw a video of him explaining different type of releases to be used in SC conditions. One needs to careful early of assuming same speed & bounce while playing strokes to him till you get to make out the tricks he is using . I observed that. He tried cross seamers, leg cutters, indicated a leg cutter to the keeper and bowled a bouncer etc. But such deliveries should not fetch wickets in test matches if the batsman defends or leaves. They fetch wickets in T20s because batters are compelled to hit almost every ball. The earlier SL batters tried to hit too many balls. Link to post

Frustrated 1,193 Posted Thursday at 08:47 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:47 AM There is simply no excuse for batting like this , especially when U are playing at home. (Although some of SL' first choice players are missing due to injury) express bowling 1 Link to post

Our chances of earning points from brisbane are slim to none. If england get 120 points from here they will be at 412 while we will be at 400. At that point we'll be below nz and eng in terms of percentages. However while i still think we can win against england easily at home, the number of injuries are a concern.
