Haha, surely not?

Sunglasses ON

but really dilshan is the worst guy

Kumar Sangakkara, new ball bowler.

What in the actual ****

 

[Spikey]

That's it. Shut it down. Go home everybody. Sorry Nanananananaden, they will be no century. Get the match fixing people here.

 

[robelinda]

what in the fail......Kumar bowls faster than the Indian Kumar(s).

 

[Jayzamann]

For Clarke it was guile but when Dilshan does this it seems like he's taking the piss.

yeah it's as simple as you know Clarke was serious...Dilshan doesn't even bowl his opening bowlers, let alone wildcards like this. Guess he doesn't want to be captain either.

 

[Himannv]

The Hussey vs Sanga contest is being taken very seriously.

 

[Spark]

I hate to say it because it's not really his fault but sometimes I can't help but think that Dilshan must be one of the most clueless Test captains I've ever seen.

Still can't understand why you'd ever leave out 3rd man in favour of fine leg. If a batsmen gets four runs off my bowling, I want it to be because I bowled a **** ball or he played a great shot, not because he was a lucky ****.

Forces the bowler to bowl far too wide and harmlessly otherwise.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

You'd have to have pretty pathetic faith in your bowling for that. You don't have to bowl miles outside off, you just have to avoid bowling **** on or outside leg stump.

Disagree. He knows what he's doing - sadly his masterplan to get sacked won't work because incompetence only gets rewarded by the SLCB

International class batsmen are more than good enough to take balls on leg-and-middle stump down towards the general fine leg region. It'd be silly to have a field where every time you bowled anywhere near the stumps you were a real risk of going for four. It's too much to ask to say "bowl at the top of off, but not three inches further down leg or you go for four"

 

[Jayzamann]

How far off is tea?

How far off is tea?

Eating it now actually.

Butter chicken ftr.

 

[Spikey]

fat **** eat a vegetable




(butter is a vegetable)

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I guess so, probably thinking too much in terms of high school level cricket, where the batsmen obviously don't have those kind of capabilities.

 

[Spikey]

but really. if dilshan contiunes to bowl himself somebody has to report this match to the match fixing watch dog
