Big blow.

Dhoni's hands are astonishingly quick in taking the bails off.

 

[Jono]

Gotta love powerplays.

 

[Cevno]

Indeed.

Senanayake's full name is Senanayake Mudiyanselage Sachithra Madhushanka Senanayake. Is there any other cricketer who has the same first name and last name with only the middle name differing?

Wow. That was quick. Looks like its common in Srilanka. New to me though.

 

[ajdude]

Rangana Herath | Sri Lanka Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

The next batsman to come too.

 

[Ruckus]

ha that's crazy. Is it a standard custom in SL to use your middle name as your first name instead, or is it just because sometimes the first names are too complicated/long?

 

[ajdude]

they love that Mudiyanselage name too, it's in kulasekara's, senanayake's and dilshan's name from what i've found haha

also just found out that samaraweera's full name is "thilan thusara samaraweera", similar to thilan thushara

i just had one of those moments looking at the name thilan where i thought "no that's not right, that looks entirely wrong" haha, i'm done

Kulasekara Mudiyanselage Dinesh Nuwan Kulasekara and Senanayake Mudiyanselage Sachithra Madhushanka Senanayake batting together with Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerthi Bandara Herath coming next.
