Terrible execution there from KOB; shot was on.

If he doesn't perform this year then it's more justification for not picking him for the winter tours, not less.

Yeah, in the end he's had his chance to push this year, if he wasn't motivated I don't know why. Places up for grabs.
He's not getting any younger, and looks down on pace which is understandable with all his injury problems. Time to move on.

Mendis is a reasonable limited overs bowler.

But he's inconsistent and not suited to the kind of conditions that he'll find in Australia/NZ next year, also, given that we'll probably only play one spinner each game (given Dilshan can provide some spport spin bowling) I can't see him getting a place over either Herath or Sachi, so playing him here was a waste of time IMO.

difficult one to call that, as he does seem to do well whenever he plays. I think its down to the pace that he bowls at rather than the amount of spin he gets.Couldn't watch the match as had to work so commenting on the socrecard rather than the match but well done to SL on defending a below par score. The Irish bowlers look to have put us under pressure but hopefully it was just becuase the conditions (and the weather LOL) were unfamiliar. Lets see if we can give a better performance in second match. The main thing for me is that we started off the tour with a win..

Looks like we'll get a delayed start, but the forecast is apparently good so we should see a full match, or at least we won't lose too many overs. I'm hoping SL try at least one or two changes, I'd like to see Chatarunga de Silva and Eranga have a go today, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Where did you get that? Irish cricket Facebook was 50/50 about a game at all last night.

nice article on sanga on telegraph:
Kumar Sangakkara, cricket's new elder statesman, proves there is more to life than records and milestones - Telegraph
I doubt he'll make 61 average in tests tho.. the article implies that to be one of his motivations. I think if he retires at anything 60+ that would be awesome.
