Explain

 

[Gnske]

Explain

Basically

- Dude the schedule is a bitch
- Dude his body language sucks ONLY now in this tour
- Dude its the right decision even though there's a filler tour of SA coming up
- Dude our captain is totally not a gutless simp running away
- Dude the burden of responsibility sucks
- Dude I try so hard to be the intellectual in the Australian cricket press.

Nothing overtly insightful

Why did Dilshan pull the pin last night with two games to go in the series?

probably because Jayasuriya told him to

 

[morgieb]

Ashvika Fernando's first professional match is an ODI, fair effort.

 

[Burgey]

probably because Jayasuriya told him to

Why didn't he tell him to **** off?

 

[DriveClub]

SL seems to be debuting youngsters everywhere, not big on domestic experience either

 

[Burgey]

Jesus Christ Starc. Craziest LO bowler in decades

 

[Gnske]

Bravo Sri Lankan selectors, way to **** on every domestic batsman in Sri Lanka.

 

[Burgey]

This is pretty much how Boland should be treated IMO.

 

[Spikey]

Jayasuriya just picked a guy who literally has no cricinfo stats record yet (Avishka Fernando | Sri Lanka Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo), which is still a better selection than the time Jayasuriya randomly returned at like age 43

 

[Burgey]

How hot are some of these birds rolling around In the mud on the Bachelor? Fantastic stuff.

 

[anil1405]

Has Wade ever been so vocal behind the stumps as he is today?

 

[weldone]

Why didn't he tell him to **** off?

because Jayasuriya is the chief selector (and a politician) - could have dropped Dilshan altogether

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but he still could have told him to **** off.

 

[Burgey]

In other news, Mathews is playing for a draw here.

 

[TheJediBrah]

What's the record for consecutive times a side has lost the toss and had to bat last on crumbling pitches on a tour?
