Ball turn at 2.9° today, ind v pak game also here,ball might turn 4.o° or more.

I hope they decides to open Brand new track otherwise Ind v pak game will be very low score Affair, India will miss chahal who seems to me very handy at pallekele because he has more experience to exploits this sorts of track.
 
Back when CW had that thing called CWPL, I picked this dude Samarawickrama in my team.

Good to see that SL is giving a long run in the team. He should be their all-format keeper.

I didn't realize this was on TNT sports [prev. BT sports] and have tuned in. These young Lankan players look so technically sound. Esp Sadeera. They also have some young quicks. Lanka look good for the middle term.

Bangladesh are an omnishambles. 25 years after becoming a proper side, they are still terrible.

My understanding is that Lanka has excellent schools cricket which keeps these talented guys coming through the system.

I've just realized that sri lanka are going to go to this wc with Dimuth K opening again. Wouldn't have predicted that he'de be here and A fernando wouldn't after the 2019 WC in a million years.

Especially when the organizers so desperately twist the schedule to suit one.
That means Sri Lanka must always make the finals..

Just checked- and indeed they have made 12/15 finals, while Bangladesh have made the other 3, thus denying Ind pak every single time. Won't be surprised if there's SL in the finals again.

I love a good Gambhir but this just isn't true, is it? Agree with the rest. Chacha gets tied down by any good spinner and that leaves us with no one capable of hitting out. Fakhar's form is a big concern.
Not sure if its gambhiring but your pace attack is on level with india if not better. You are seriously underrating Afridi, Naseem Shah and Rauf.
On flat or bouncier pitches, Indian attack is far batter. Typical spinny SC surfaces narrow this gap for obvious reasons.

There are reports of a new pitch for tomorrow's match but if it's similar to the pitch used in SL v BD match, a low scoring thriller is in the offering.
