Dropping Samaraweera really fixed up Sri Lanka's batting problems...

Reckon he would've scored millions of runs this series.

He never seemed a complete ****

He's very talented,and TBF,with every passing game he's getting better.

You should have had more faith Smali.

Great stuff from our bowlers. I hope Misbah goes for the kill this time, rather than going defensive.

Hypothetical question :

If both Amir and Asif are cleared to play,how will that shape our bowling attack?

I think it could be over for Aizaz,and Junaid Khan may well fall down the pecking order.

Agree with you on that Salman, but will the PCB let them play amidst high pressure from other boards and the media. Look at Akmal, he is being ignored by the PCB.

Can't see them being cleared but may get the bans reduced. Would you want them back in if that was the case?

If as you say they were cleared then Gul may well go and keep Junaid as he has a brighter future and would go well with Asif and Amir in a 3 pronged pace attack.

why do i get the feeling that misbah wont bring Abdur Rehman before lunch?
Because his quicks were bowling really well?

They won't be cleared. The ICC has made their decision, the court case won't change that even if they're found not guilty, as unlikely as that is.

In the highly unlikely possibility that both and cleared to play,i don't think the PCB would have any issue.Nor would the media and other boards have any right to complain since they would get cleared by the court and it's something that everyone would have to accept whether the like it or not.

I would want both back without thinking twice.Sure that's a selfish response,but anyway.

I don't see Gul getting the snub.Not in the shorter formats atleast.I think the axe could fall on Junaid,which would be pretty sad since he comes across as a genuine hardworker.

Exactly. Dishan has been batting like an ass, and Pakistani bowlers are bowling beautifully.

The way Kaushal Silva is playing should have shows that selecturds have picked him two years back, even in the place of Dilshan, Thirimmanne or Paranavithana.

Very happy to see Kaushal in the team. Hope he makes full use of this chance and cements his spot. Dilshan/Paranawithana the next one to be replaced probably.

It seems like the whole SL team apart from sanga couldn't care less about this series...
Surely that can't be the case? I said the same about England in the India one day series and was told I was totally wrong as players pride will stop that etc....

Maybe some people need to stop jumping in and face facts that some players are lacking the heart at present. Maybe it is a case of after lord mayors show after the World Cup and they are finding it tough to raise their game. Or maybe after WC, IPL and Champions League as well as various tours with their national teams they are just burnt out?
