probably, but he maybe rested, i don't know how seriously they are taking the Twenty20.Jono said:
Harmy reckons he's not going to make the first test:

Blow for England and virtually guarentees Anderson keeps his place. If Jones isn't fit either then Plunkett will probably get picked and it may not be such a walk in the park as some think.

An England A bowling attack will still be too good, remember James Franklin was too good for the Lankans

I doubt Vandort will get picked infront of Tharanga

That's bad news for Sri Lanka.chaminda_00 said:
I wonder if the SL selectors can convince Sanath to play this series in England in the light of Atapattu's injury . Its better than having 2 inexperienced guys at the top of the order (in seamy conditions of early Summer in England) with a brittle line up.
In light of Atapattu's injury , I would be very surprised if SL pick Maharoof , Vaas, Malinga and Kulasekera.dinu23 said:
I suspect SL will have to play an extra batsman or Bandara instead of Kulasekera. More likely an extra batter.
Likely line up therefore -
1. Vandort
2. Tharanga
3. Sanga
4. Mahela
5. Thilan
6. Dilshan
7. Kapugedera
8. Maharoof
9. Vaas
10. Murali
11. Malinga
If Harmison's not going to make it then it looks like a lot depends on how Simon Jones comes through his two games for Glamorgan. If he can't find form, or worse gets injured, we might find ourselves with an attack of Hoggard, Anderson, Plunkett, Flintoff and Udal.
I'm not sure about that one.

As a medic and despite not being a specialist on back injuries , I have little doubt that if Atapattu does undergo Back Surgery as Tony Simsek has suggested, that would definitely be the end of his career .
As far as I know very few people recover well enough after back operations to play sport !!
Which is why surgery for back problems are usually the last resort and only a means of relieving pain and recovering mobility and not a means of recovering well enough to participate in sport.
