Migara
International Coach
Umpiring has been atrocious. If there was anything worse than that, it was SL close catching. If ump gave the decisions correctly and SL caught well this would have been over by lunch.
Lot of positives to be taken for SL. Herath's form is impressive, but I am worried whether he has enough tricks in his bag to de rail Indian batsman. Thushara had been very good once again. Prasad showed that why he's different from other SL pacers, with his ultra aggression.
The biggest negative is SL's close catching. This is the team that boasted of one of the best close catching cordon in international cricket. Anything went near Tillekaratne, Mahanama and Chandana were grabbed with great hunger. But current lot is dropping them one after another. Need some close catching practice. Hashan Tillekaratne should call a day for the politics to comeback and coach close catching.
