Flat Pitch for Sanga's Farewell?


Recommended Posts

Harsh and unfair. Sanga has done very well on almost all types of surfaces.
+1. Apart from Ind (and one other country), he has very good records and knocks everywhere else.

+1. Apart from Ind (and one other country)' date=' he has very good records and knocks everywhere else.[/quote'] West Indies I think, but he played only 3 or 4 tests there a while back. Very small sample size plus the fact that West Indian pitches since the turn of the millennia have become similar to Lankan pitches:sluggish 2 paced turners. If given more opportunities I am pretty sure he would have piled on the misery on the hapless Calypso jokers(pardon my language but it infuriates me to see these guys donning the same jerseys worn by some of the greatest titans to walk on a cricket field). In India he averaged some 37 I think including a 100. Underachiever in India no doubt but still 37 is okish... Many batsmen don't average that much in their entire career.

Yes, most of his away Tests have pretty small sample sizes anyway. Still, I reckon he should have bashed the hell out of 2 of the weakest attacks in modern times - WI and Ind. So, definitely underachieved in both these places.

I am not disagreeing with that, he has been a fine player overseas. But of all the batsmen I have seen in my life, he has been exposed to the most minnows and the flattest tracks. So even if Sri Lanka board is serving him a flat track, this is nothing new.

Considering the economy of your country its no wonder your are an unemployed dim wit hence the time to come on an Indian forum and troll.
