Sidhoni Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Aus sitting pretty having a lead of 65 with 7 wts in hand, and the current partnership is 122 already. Link to comment
CrazyCric Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Watching India lose is more fun than than trying to support our jokers . It's going to be 3-0 if weather doesn't interrupt . Murali bowling with one leg is better than any of the bowlers we have at the moment . Link to comment
Sidhoni Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Aus lead by 237 with 3 wkts in hand. Marsh and Hussey hit centuries. Link to comment
Manny_Pacquiao Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 their bowling was always going to struggle without muralitharan's 10 wicket hauls. the bigger worry is their batting lineup. its usually rock solid at home, but a new look australian bowling attack has ripped it apart. they are getting out to a scrub spinner like nathan lyon, for ****s sake Link to comment
Cricket Tragic Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The batting line up has to step up after Murali and score more runs but they're been average over the past 12 months. No one has really been in outstanding form. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;spanmax1=12+Sep+2011;spanmin1=12+Sep+2010;spanval1=span;team=8;template=results;type=batting Link to comment

saneindian Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Dilshan isn't quite the right choice for captaincy. Either they should back to Sanga or Mahela ( provided they are interested) or make Samarweera the test captain and Angelo Matthews as the ODI captain. Link to comment

Square Drive Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 All out fr 174 on a pitch which did not help after the first hour. Aussies might win by an innings here!! BTW I'm really missing the header graphic we had here in ICF during the Eng test series.. :winky: Link to comment

thongale Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Sri Lankan cricket will be in a completely awful state after 2-3 years from now, with Sanga, Mahela, Dilshan,Samarweera all retiring, maybe Dilshan will stay till the next world cup, and Murali has already retired. If we look at the future prospects, welegadera and kulasekra are only good pacers they have, while in the Spin dept., Mendis looks ordinary once the batsmen have got used to him and Herath and Randiv are better bowlers than him, The batting dept. will be extremely weak compared to the present one or maybe even weaker when Jayasurya played fr Sri Lanka. Your views guys?? Welagedara and Kulasekara are just POS but the former has bit of more talent. Suranga Lakmal, Eranga, Prasad and Nuwan Pradeep are the ones expected to be SL's fast bowling future. All of them are brisk, latter two are more brisk, but wild. Mathews, Chandimal, Thirimanne, Rajapakshe are the future SL batting stars. SOmebody like Warnapura may make a comeback too.

ganeshran Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Sri Lankan players unpaid since the World cup Very poor on the part of the board Source: http://www.espncricinfo.com/srilanka/content/current/story/538129.html About 100 cricketers contracted to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), including national players, have not been paid their salaries since the 2011 World Cup, co-hosted by Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh, BBC Sinhala has reported. There were also doubts over whether the SLC would be able to pay salaries in the next two months. "There is a truth in those media reports to a certain extent," SLC chairman Upali Dharmadasa was quoted as telling BBC Sinhala. Dharmadasa said efforts were being made to pay the players as soon as the SLC received the remaining payments from the ICC for staging the World Cup. "The ICC still owes us $4-5 million," he said. The board had revamped the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and built two new grounds in Pallekele and Hambantota for the tournament in February and March, and the capital expenditure incurred is reported to have left it in debt.
