From memory, and IMO, the his main problem in England was the softness of the pitches, they just sat up to be hit and robbed him of turn and skid.
Only saw an over and a 1/2 of Herath today (had to go to work), but he seemed to be asking questions of Hughes straight away.

I second these sentiments.
Theoretically, if it rains between games while the beach is active, or just the general abrasiveness of sand, couldn't a fielding team that gets hit for 6 in the area claim damage to the ball?

I must be the only one who doesn't see it with Herath. He doesn't look anything special to me at all, just a decent accurate bowler, nothing more than that.
Doesn't inspire me one bit.

Nah I'm not a big fan either. You have to give him credit for the way he's performed over the last couple of years, especially at home but also in South Africa of all places, but he doesn't really do it for me either. I've sort of just been waiting for the mediocrity to hit. He's decent and all, but yeah.

Check out Rob's video of the '99-'00 tour of Sri Lanka at the 6:43 mark. Besides that, for a SLA in my opinion, accurate is exactly what you want. Someone who isn't afraid to flight the ball, but can frustrate the batsmen, keep that pressure on then use that change up to get the wicket. Herath, imo, is a unique case because he sat on the sideline for a decade and seems to be using all that frustration to take a bag of wickets.

It doesn't seem that like long ago when Herath tried to get a county deal, didn't attract any interest, got signed up as an overseas pro in a league side and was completely innocuous at that level. I remember it because he actually got called up to a Test squad in the midst of that and it was just a weird situation. Was probably a few years ago now though.

If I'm not mistaken, he wrote a letter to the Sri Lankan board which in essence said, don't forget about me, give me a shot. To their credit they did, and its paid off
