Sri Lankan seamers (Maharoof, Kulasekera) looked very ordinary. Regardless of the time of year, I'd have had Bandara playing - you play your best three bowlers in all conditions.

Anyway, I'll answer your question - he's come out of requirement because his country's batting resources are hopelessly weak.
This is why Moody needs to go. Because the 2 bowlers who most smart Srilankans would have picked Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Zoysa are not playing while the 2 least expected are playing. I guess Moody is reciprocating the England selectors in their decision to pick Plunkett over the Unlucky Jon Lewis.Samuel_Vimes said:

Such a happy supporter, aren't you Jason?
Anyway, its good to see that we've got live coverage of this series. A few points:
1) It is such a relief to watch and listen to good coverage after putting up with the awful NZ and South African coverage in the last few months
2) The English batsmen's techniques are so much better than our guys (with the possible exception of Fleming). The pitch was doing a fair bit early on, but Trescothick and Strauss just played the line of the balls rather than pushing their hands at it like our lot do.
3) You are far better off playing 3 openers and batting one at three than selecting 3 middle order players and making two open. Yes, I'm talking to you John Bracewell.
4) The umpires need to look at the rules. You know, leg-before-wicket and all that.

I am happy when the team performs miserably so that I can lash out at our Team and everyone else .Sir Redman said:Such a happy supporter, aren't you Jason?

Such is the life of most Sri Lankan fans over the past couple of years.
I have to agree with you on the exceptional quality of the Commentary team. I love those guys. Gower, Beefy, Micael Holding, Atherton, Bumble , and even Naz. Only guy I miss is Geoffrey Boycott.

Nasser hardly appeared yesterday, I don't like it.
