***Official - Sri Lanka in Bangladesh***

[cricman]

Fernando looks built like Sid Justice

 

[susudear]

The ball has kept very low.

I don't think Bangladesh has any chance of getting even within 100 runs of the SL score.

 

[cricman]

what a ******

I would have chased Kayes out of Chittagong if was out

 

[NUFAN]

Kayes is so rubbish. What was he doing padding up to a ball like that?

Keyes could learn a thing or two from Mitchell Johnson IMO.

 

[cricman]

oh God Mendis in

 

[TT Boy]

Decent luxury to be able to bring Murali on after 30 overs. Bangla boys are in heap of **** but its good to see Ashraful looking decent once more.

 

[TT Boy]

Mendis on a hat-trick.

 

[Xuhaib]

Mendis on a hat-trick.

outperforming murali again.

 

[Xuhaib]

Ash handling M&M well.

 

[NUFAN]

Ashraful out reverse sweeping Murali, such a shocking shot given the circumstances.

We need Mortaza to stick around with Rahim and avoid the follow on at least.

Mendis's real test will come when batsmen are used to the intitial shock that he created. Let's ee how he fares in his 2nd and 3rd season

 

[JBH001]

Yes. To be honest, I think Mendis, at this stage, to be over-rated and I remain a little skeptical towards him.

He will still be a good bowler, but nowhere in the Murali or Warne league.

Btw, congrats on crossing the 1000 Migara.

He's gonna get so many wickets vs England, NZ and SA it's not gonna be funny

I think he's gonna re write all the records in ODI's, Subcontinental players will learn to play him Ashraful and Siddique had relative easy in handling him.

Raqibul is a poor player of Spin and Shakib made the mistake of Watching Ash play him on the backfoot and got caught with a quicker one.

Play him on the front foot + You have to wear him out. He'll give you short balls, Stamina might be an issue

Ashraful you stupid SOB, I love you to death but effing up on the reverse sweep the previous 3 times should have given you a clue.

I agree with Mashrafe here batting will get much easier ball will stay low and it's gonna be super slow much easier to pick up the turn. Lanka will need another really big score because if a batsmen gets set they can bat on here for days now.

New Ball will be huge

Stamina is never a problem. He's an artillery gunner in SL Army. If he went through that Commando training, then fitness at cricket is a piece of cake.

 

[chaminda_00]

Stamina wont be the issue, I'll seen (read scorecards) of him bowling all day for SL Army. He only issue will be strengh and long term fitness. But considering his background and what his done in the early stages of his career it might not be a big issue.

Technologhy will be his biggest issue. Sooner or later batsmen will find ways of playing his current deliveries. What he does after that point will determine whether he goes down the Murali/Warne route or Saqlian route.

 

[NUFAN]

Thoughts on Dilshan?

He's really had a terrific 50th Test Match.

Thoughts on Dilshan?

He's really had a terrific 50th Test Match.

He should give Juniad Siddique 1/2 of his MOM Paycheck

This is a Dead Pitch but Mahela has M&M and We have 11 Douches Batting is 623 really that necessary?

 

[susudear]

What the hell?

What sort of a captain is Jayawardene if he doesnt have the confidence to defend 600+ with a bowling attack comprising of Murali and Mendis?

I hope we will see Bangladesh batting on the other side of lunch.
