Sri Lankan Cricket in terrible condition after 3 yrs.

[Sidhoni]

Whatever the condition, the whole of India is rooting for them today!

Massive test series for SL.

[Vijy]

They're doing quite badly even now. When was their last series win in any format?

Pre Murali retirement both. Tests I think Pak 2009. ODIS WI 2010.

and can't put these on murali's retirement either coz it's batting that fails.

I think what really hampered us the most was that we had to chase every game. I mean we chased under the lights all 8 games!!! And at a venue such as Hobart where chasing under lights is a clear disadvantage really hurt us. I am sure if we had gotten an opportunity to bat 1st and bowl under the lights we would have had a few more wins. And it didn't help either that we never had a fixed top order and went with "rotation" policy. IMO a team needs to have a settled top order for the team to do well as you can't just rotate the top order every game.

that's a top post mate, especially the bold part :hysterical::hysterical: not to mention you guys wanted to chase even when you won the toss :giggle:

So you think that Murali's retirement has not had an impact?

it surely has, on the bowling front. but that cannot be an excuse for continuous batting failures.

LOL at Loins :) Let's all take a moment to laugh at the lankan loins who have now gone nearly 2 years without a series win of any kind - tests or odis, home or away :hysterical: Since Murali retired loins have dine diddly squat other than lose in the finals which somehow the loins fans are extremely proud of :cantstop: keep it up loins and well done :two_thumbs_up:

Lankans were cr@p before that chucker Murali and are back to where they were before the chucker. Lankans should get down on their knees and thank BCCI for backing them on the Murali issue else they would have been in the same boat as Zimboks and Bangbros.

SL is looking good to beat world beaters. :P No code has to be inserted here. They haven't won any series in last 3 years. Last series win was in Aug 2009 against NZ.

[Sidhoni]

They won due to plenty of umpiring errors. Lets see if Pak can bounce back.

[deathmonger]

LOL. SL who haven't won a single series after retirement of Murali in both ODIs and tests are now going to win their first series in both formats (ODIs already done). Heck even last time they lost 2-0 without Murali.
