julianlev Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Well we've all heard the news By May 5th the teams are going to be missing their big name Sri Lankan players who are being called home I am really interested in how this will end up affecting the teams So what do you guys think, which teams will be affected worst and who will be the likely replacements?

Apart from Malinga, everyone else has been a failure. Besides, from next week, the aussies would be in town. So apart from DC,Kochi and MI, other teams would be ok with it.

MI will be most severely affected. Kochi might actually benefit when Jayawardena and Muralitharan leave.
Mariyam Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Murli has retired so has Malinga Malinga retired from tests? Because of IPL? :D
girishk14 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Kochi will still have murali and perera. Malinga mostly will not go for tests. Sanga leaving might bring luck to DC, such a strong team and they can't pull things together. Dilshan will be a big loss, they lose a full time bowler, fielder, back up keeper and dashing opener. Mahela - two bad innings, but he'll bounce back. so he'll be a big loss. Randiv - the only hope for CSK's bowling other than Ashwin. He is very unlucky to go for occasional boundaries.
rajmarie Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 IMO....CSK & Kochi will be effected. DC should be happy to see a tired & not interested Sanga go. MI only if Malinga leaves...but I read that has retired from Test...he announded that last year I think because he gets frequently injured...ala Tait.
CSK Fan Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 are we sure the players are going back? From the news I have heard, the players have declined to follow these instructions and BCCI is not happy either

White has been in awful form giving him the captaincy may hurt DC they filled their team with foreighn guys but their Indian Talent is not that great IMO.
Switchblade Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Malinga retired from tests? Because of IPL? :D He was having injury issues before IPL too he has had problems with injuries
hari504504 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Doesn't BCCI own the SLCB literally ? .. thought I read that they gave them a huge loan 2 years back to bail them out We should be using them as a "feeder club" and snatch Malinga and Angelo

CSK Fan Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Guys, the players are not going, end of story. Stop worrying
urbestfriend Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 ^ Dont think so. They are what they are and get the IPL contract because they play for Srilankan cricket team. I'm sure Srilankans fans would be really pissed , if a player doesn't turn up for national duty and I dont think any Asian cricketer would prefer money at the cost of fans wrath.
Switchblade Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 IIRC they were upset when there was talk of them replacing Westindies to play against Poms in 2009

Both the Sri Lankan board and the players had agreed to the 10th May deadline. Now just because some goverment official felt insulted, they are withdrawing their players and going back on their agreement. Its nothing to do with country against club, but only ego issues. Neither BCCI nor Sri Lankan players are going to stand for it
yoda Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Randiv is useless. Yes we will be a spinner short, but that's just the way it is. Bollinger and Hussey will be joining soon, so we will be fine. Kochi has the most $$$ invested on SL players. Jaya is useless, but Murali can and will always be good. Malinga I don't think will go cause he didn't play even the last test series.
