Hasaranga is damn good

[SK_IH]

Whenever I see Hasaranga bowl, mind goes back to the crap spinner India has as its mainstay. India's spin attack looks way below par going into the world cup. Just like test team, there are some players who have a free ride in other formats, Chahal is one such player. 

India have to look at Rahul Chahar or even Bishnoi (good enough for T20s I think).

I don't know why Hasaranga isn't picked in the IPl.  That guy is an amazing talent.  He is easily the best after Rashid Khan. 

Chahal has been average for too long.  I agree Rahul Chahar should be given a longer run in ODI & T20Is over him.

Dinesh Karthik is commentating on this series as well. Looks like he will get a full time contract from Sky Sports.

Comical team selection.  Shanaka at 4 & Hasaranga at 5 lmao..  Mickey is completely destroying this team. 

Guys like Rajapaksa & Oshada Fernando are not being given chances. 

[Suhaan]

What song are they playing in 4th over?

[coffee_rules]

Looks like Eng is working to get SL fans to follow their cricketers - 89/4 chasing 185

Lankans beat them in WC as well.  220 could have been match winning here

just want to say that this team Sri Lanka is not finished. Praveen and Embuldeniya are yet to play a match together, and all Nissanka needs experience. If Mickey finds a way to use his fitness protocols successfully on Avishka, SL will be in steady hands. Their new pace attack might not be great but i can definetly tell, with experience achieved they will be at most serviceable like Fernando

Yep we know Lankans are talented & their C team beat Pakistan 3-0 in T20s not long ago.

Didnt Pakistan whitewash India in their last series and that to at India's own backyard? Lord Nasir Jamshed was it?

Lol Pakistan didn't whitewashed India..   Chinese vaccine has made u deranged somewhat & so I suggest calm your knickers.

And at least show your real identity dic*head
