Re: consistent SL >india does... 83 winners, 87 semis, 92 knocked out, 96 semis... 3/4 including a cup win. yeah but that is not recent.... SL is doing things that we have missed....may be they have process in place that recognizes talent and grooms them...Malinga had to wait for long time to become regular player..he was never certainity in ODIs.. They might have better domestic structure..with all kinds of good pacers coming up...
