[Sachin=GOD]

iss series mein 2nd string team bhejni thi :agree:

[Trundler27]

crap... this tour is where ishant manhoos sharma excelled last time around and made a permanent slot for himself as the ladder oops i mean leader of this attack. Aaj tak gale mai woh haddi ki tarah atka hua hai team India ke I wonder if he wins a single MoM award then he is surely going to play 100+ test matches for India. But i hope jaddu and nohit give him tough competition this time around ;)

[Sooda]

Yes pointless yawnfest tourno. Should have bit of a break now, no tour of Zim too

[maniac]

Pontless tournament...when is Champions league starting

[Sachin=GOD]

Pontless tournament...when is Champions league starting

thats a 100 times more pointless than this tri series.

[maniac]

thats a 100 times more pointless than this tri series.

It's more meaningful...atleast has a purpose...Champions from all T20 leagues face off...That concept exists in all popular sports....You may not be a fan of the format but it makes more sense than this Tri-series

[hassan_113]

I think that this series and the waste of time WI v Pak ODIs would be better served with Pakistan v India test series in England or elsewhere. Cricket needs interesting contests.

[carnish]

Its not a borefest by any means ... We need to get over boring bilateral series in cricket. Any series that involves a Final is good for cricket as it brings the excitement of a Cup. Only reason why people here are brushing this away is because it involves SRL but I guess BCCI and other boards should actually organise more tri-series events in the upcoming days.

[King Tendulkar]

Seems good

[SLICKR392]

Invite Bangbros home. :headshake: A test series with any nation would be far better than this. I hate watching ODIs in West Indies.

[FischerTal]

it would be a better to have series with pakis. Aane Do part 2, where all the deadweight from our team is gone and padosis get humiliated :ohyeah:

[zumi]

won't be borefest, but I hope we don't got those horrible sticky slow wickets which West Indies have preparing last few years.

The crowd make it very interesting

[adi B]

i actually like watching odis in the carribean but the lankan team is too boring,with the stadiums almost empty,all we`ll hear will be the noise of lankan over appealing especially that chaddimal and fecking vuvuzuelas..would have been better if the 3rd team was pakistan

[King Tendulkar]

Plus windies have good comms, who are not on some hate agenda against us and are funny. Dujon is great to lsiten to and Bishop. Plus some big fat mamma jumping up and down in crowd. :hysterical: Alway remeber this commentary gem from Dujon, a stray dog ran on to the pitch, Dujon " I have had a few dogs in my time":hysterical::hysterical: Broadcaster cut off and apologised:hysterical:

Always remeber this commentary gem from Dujon, a stray dog ran on to the pitch, Dujon " I have had a few dogs in my time":hysterical::hysterical: Broadcaster cut off and apologised:hysterical:

Upul Tharanga will replace the injured Tillakaratne Dilshan in Sri Lanka's squad for the tri-series in West Indies, while Ajantha Mendis also got a recall at Thisara Perera's expense. Scans after Thursday's Champions Trophy semi-final against India showed Dilshan had suffered a second-degree tear to his right medial calf muscle and will be in recovery for four to six weeks. The injury also put him in doubt for South Africa's limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka, which begins on June 20. Mendis has been increasingly regarded a Twenty20 specialist, and has not played an ODI for Sri Lanka since January. His inclusion strengthened Sri Lanka's spin resources on tour, with Rangana Herath, Sachithra Senanayake and Jeevan Mendis also traveling. Perera's exclusion was a surprise, though, and Dilhara Lokuhettige, who has been with the team in the UK without having played a match, will remain in the squad as they head to the Caribbean. Perera has been a fixture of Sri Lanka's limited-overs sides in the last 18 months, but made only 15 runs in two innings in the Champions Trophy, and bowled eight overs for no wicket. Tharanga has also been out of the side since January, but had an encouraging season of first-class cricket, in which he averaged 66.66 in 14 innings. Dilshan tore his calf in the fourth over of Sri Lanka's innings, after he had struck Umesh Yadav for two boundaries. Though he took painkillers, he was unable to continue batting and retired hurt in the next over. He returned in the penultimate over of the innings, but hobbled between the wickets during his stay, and did not take the field as Sri Lanka failed in their attempt to defend 181. The tri-series in the West Indies will feature India, as well as the hosts, and begins on June 28.

Squad: Angelo Mathews (capt), Kusal Perera, Upul Tharanga, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Dinesh Chandimal (vc), Lahiru Thirimanne, Jeevan Mendis, Lasith Malinga, Shaminda Eranga, Nuwan Kulasekara, Dilhara Lokuhettige, Rangana Herath, Sachithra Senanayake, Ajantha Mendis.
