Sri Lankan Cricket in terrible condition after 3 yrs.

[Utalk]

Abe is thread mein bhi Pakistan shuru ho gaya

Yaar kia karen. Some posters bring Pakistan in to make them feel good because we have lost a test. UG could easily have congratulated SL on a fantastic win but he started calling both teams crap and how it was a shoot our of crap. Some of you will remember during Eng Ind series I am on record saying it was a let down that such a high profile series was turned into a non contest. Test cricket is about a fierce battle and drama and we had a terrible game in Galle and hopefully we will play better in Colombo.

sanga and dilshan flopped seam bowlers are a joke wont even get into indian A team

BUMP Lost all 3 games in the Asia Cup. :hehe: Tottering at 15/3 v/s England in the first test at Galle :hehe:

:finger:

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.

Congrats SL for 1st series win after long time.

[Pagalpanti]

Even after the backing they got from umpires and weather, they could only manage 1-0. :hehe:

Loins :giggle: If not for that chucker they would be fighting hard with Bangbros and Zimboks for the wooden spoon :finger: Here's Loins' performance timeline... Loins were cr@p till early to mid 90s, chucker came in and they started winning at home, chucker retired and Loins back to where they were :haha:

People may go on about Jayasuriyas, Aravindas, Ranatungas etc. but only the chucker really made the difference for them. Case in point, they still have Sanga, Lady Jaya and Dilshan but since the chucker retired they have only managed to win one series (home and away) in 3 years :haha: They should thank BCCI and the influence it was able to exert so that chucker wouldn't be banned else we know what would have happened to them :giggle:

Yup it is :cantstop: That's why they are so p*ssed off losing to us time and time again that their fans actually were happy to see Loins lose to Bangbros just so that India didn't reach the final :haha:

[Sidhoni]

And again! :cantstop:

[Sidhoni]

Lost to New Zealand at home!! :hysterical:

[Sidhoni]

somehow managed to draw the match against a second string ban team :two_thumbs_up:

[Junyfan]

bowling is the concern for lions,i fully support them to come good next time,batting is quality no doubt

[Square Drive]

It's ok to be conservative against a weaker team because there is nothing much to gain even if you win. Instead take the opportunity to try out few youngsters. But they need to start playing some risk taking cricket against top teams. Last time SL played that way in test was under Jayasuriya's captaincy. I hope he brings that mentality to the system again now as the chief selector. The two diplomats Sanga and Mahela killed that style from SL test cricket, of course along with briefly captained Hashan, Mavan and Dilshan as well. Mahela was only a good ODI captain not test. If they don't do that soon I'll be just another SL fan turning off from SL test cricket. Also cancelling South African tour when they are the no. 1 team was far more disappointing than whatever happens with Bangladesh or Zimbabwe

i thought Mahela was a good test captain. Won a tough series v Pak at home

[Vanarp22]

dhananjaya is coming...pretty good mystery bowler

[Sidhoni]

BUMP Lose to Bangladesh after scoring over 300 SL:hehe:

[Executioner]

Come on, they are going through a transition period. They have some nice youngsters coming through the ranks: koushal perera, thirimanne, chandimal, but their pace attack apart from malinga looks as poor as that of India and BD
