Chandimal ruled out of Galle Test - ESPN Cricinfo

The opener question remains. Mukund probably should get first shot, at least in the warm up game. If he does well, place is confirmed for first test imo. Too many times has Dhawan got into the test side on the back of his ODI performances.

Mukund certainly pressing his case in the first innings.

Must be kicking himself.

Difficult to leave out either Kuldeep or Jadeja after that warm up performance so it may just be 5 batsmen. Shami has one pacer's spot nailed. One between Bhuvi and Umesh. Not an easy call. Pandya will have to sit out.

I love how Rahul is listed 'lbw b?'. It's like a scorecard from the nineteenth century.

 

[Shri]

Ashwin's time is running out. Kuldeep will push him out if he doesn''t sort his **** out.

 

[honestbharani]

Hope its Shami and Bhuvi as seamers.. Also, bet on this being the line up given its Shastri-Kohli again?



Rahul Jr.
Pujara
Kohli
Rohit
Rahane
Ashwin
Saha (wk)
Jadeja
Kuldeep
Shami
Umesh

Chill out. Its his first FC game in months.

Yeah wtf. Even the full commentary doesn't show who got him out. Did he retire?

 

[Shri]

Chill out. Its his first FC game in months.

Looks as bad as he did when England won a series in India last time.

 

[Daemon]

**** Yadav better not have lost it again. Lets just be safe and not have him play one dayers.

 

[Untouchables666]

Should be a comprehensive victory by SL!

 

[NUFAN]

I wonder if Hardik is a chance? If he was to play, what do you think his batting and bowling average would be after say 15 Tests? Could his batting average be above 25 and bowling below 33?

I think he'd do better with the bat than that but worse with the ball.

 

[OverratedSanity]

30/38 kinda player imo

People were talking about Ashwin getting 800 not too long ago

 

[honestbharani]

It was really only viriya..

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

Gunathilika going to make his debut in place of Chandimal then?Anyone know where he bats in first class cricket?

Pretty much always three in FC games I think, but he often opens in limited overs cricket.

 

[YorksLanka]

My starting XI:
Karunaratne
Tharanga
Mendis
Dhanajaya
Mathews
Dickwella
Gunaratne
Dilruwan
Herath
Lakmal
Pradeep

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I'd pick that too.
