***Official*** India's Tour of Sri Lanka 2017

Might be going off topic a bit here and I don't think there's any arguments that there is not much of a case for Thirimanne in the test side,but for me he was pretty harshly dropped from the one day side

Yeah I think he was definitely more suited to the shorter form of the game. IMO he went wrong by trying to change his game to become too aggressive-by this I mean he is a stroke player rather than a hitter and I reckon if he stuck to his strengths he would have been ok.

Yeah,averaged over 40 in both 2014 and 2015 and then was dropped when he had a couple of bad games during that tour of New Zealand which Lanka got smashed up on.

Anyway,apparently Sri Lanka will play 3 spinners tomorrow with Pradeep being the lone quick and Pushpakumara making his debut

Why couldn't they have started the 2nd Test today.. horribly slow day at work and I'm reduced to making bread puns in the other thread. FFS.

Not sure if three spinners is the way to go against India who are able to play spin naturally but hey ho,let's see.

Good to see the Poo making up for causing Rahul's runout. These two going nicely ATM.
