This is going to be DKs last match. Mathews also should retire IMO. It is a sorry sight seeing how unfit he is. In addition Kusal Mendis has to be dropped, at least for the next test series. Let him continue with his white ball heroics.

Nishan Peiris is tripe. Get Ramesh Mendis ASAP. I am not sold on Vandersay too.

Took us a while to get to "it's the selectors fault", I was almost worried we'd miss it

Too quick too flat and does not turn the ball

He's become a BBL and T20 bowler. Darts. That's what all the white ball does to your technique as he's really young. It has completely ruined his development for tests. For him, money wise is in the T20 but I don't see him getting picked again for tests as Kuhnemann is still only 28

So when Lyon finally retires in 2028 or so, Kuhnemann or someone else will need to be picked.

Yeah, that's the really sad reality of being a spinner nowadays. Murphy isn't even a T20 gun for hire, or someone who has longevity in that format, necessarily. But he's completely adapted his game (maybe subconsciously as much as anything) to be effective in the short forms. Lyon continuing to be strong and not looking at an immediate retirement probably doesn't help, as well. Hard to be motivated to build your game around flight when you tour the subcontinent once a calendar year or whatever it is, and even then maybe you're not picked. He's probably not playing the 2nd Test?

I'm not a spin purveyor but it is disappointing that we now have very few guys who give it a massive rip, because that just doesn't translate to consistency and economy in T20.
