Kusal Mendis

[Gnske]

I don't blame him, we all like to be reminded of mom.

Who doesn't enjoy a quality cougar?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Are cougars in Sri Lanka?

 

[randycricfreak]

Scores 80 odd and gets run-out at a vital time in a difficult 4th inns chase.

Hopefully can come good in NZ Tests

 

[Starfighter]

He wouldn't have been run out it he'd ran like he was chasing a cougar.

He wouldn't have been run out it he'd ran like he was chasing a cougar.

his first run was soo slow... he started turning back and running for the second moments before Leach collected the ball and got the direct hit.

Population pyramid's top is ever getting heavier

 

[_Ed_]

Bump.

Quality innings today.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's not over yet...

 

[randycricfreak]

one fifty and a hundred in three innings since I opened this ..

perhaps this is what he was waiting for.

 

[randycricfreak]

6 Test hundreds and still only 23.

Needs a biggie here.

Has 194 and 196 so far.

Good to see Mendis back in form against the red ball, very enjoyable to watch in full flow. Maybe he should focus on Tests in the short to medium term, at this stage of his career I think the clarity of role provided by focussing on one format will benefit his shot selection

Yeah same here. He showed good composure. Plus I don't think he bats all that well vs spin. He had troubles against Leach and Rashid. He used to sweep the ball a lot when he first started. Now doesn't do that much.

After all SL should prepare home wickets that has some assistance to pacies.

England think he is talented but I think he had 196 once otherwise, he was failure but played good knock in England for his first tour there. Otherwise failure in most matches in 2018 till today

 

[SeamUp]

I think these tests against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa could really be the making of him. To get off to this sort of start gives him the best chance to carry on the momentum.

 

[randycricfreak]

He's poor starter tbh.

Plus wickets in SL haven't been all that conducive for batsmen,

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A little razzle dazzle with cougars did him a world of good, and renewal of confidence and pizzazz

 

[trundler]

Holy **** he's 23 and has already played 3 elite knocks.

 

[Migara]

Holy **** he's 23 and has already played 3 elite knocks.

And that masks about zillion of his failures. This guy is an enigma.

 

[mr_mister]

Shai Hope is similar. Two elite knocks in one test then mostly trash
