Bond will be missed , but the other 2 are struggling a bit and there not playing should not make a difference .James said:Does anyone know the situation with Bond, Fleming and Styris? I just watched Sport365 and all are in doubt for the final ODI with injuries.
Bond - thigh
Fleming - groin
Styris - not sure
How is Fleming struggling. He scored 37 easily before getting himself out and that was on the back of a domestic hundred.JASON said:Bond will be missed , but the other 2 are struggling a bit and there not playing should not make a difference .
Yeah, I mean, Stryis guiding NZ to the largest ever run chase just three innings ago was a bit ho hum, really, eh?JASON said:Bond will be missed , but the other 2 are struggling a bit and there not playing should not make a difference .
In his 2 ODI innings in this series against SL he has not scored much and has not looked to do so either.Loony BoB said:Yeah, I mean, Stryis guiding NZ to the largest ever run chase just three innings ago was a bit ho hum, really, eh?
Fleming's innings at Welligton was not an innings of someone in form. There were several nicks and edges and few instances of ball rapping on pad. Given the time he has been away from cricket with surgery and birth of child , this is understandable and given Windies tour starts soon , he needs every opportunity he can get to get into some formBlaze said:How is Fleming struggling.

that was against a weakened bowling attack.Loony BoB said:Yeah, I mean, Stryis guiding NZ to the largest ever run chase just three innings ago was a bit ho hum, really, eh?
It's true, luck has deserted us. The whole Jayasuriya saga illustrates that much.JASON said:For SL thing looks even more gloomier and Moody has to be kicked out. The Team lacks confidance and he cannot seem to inspire his players to perform.
Atapattu must also give up his Captaincy . SL needs a confidant and sharp Captain who can capitalise on the few opportunities they get and Unfortunately Atapattu looks like a guy who will mess up even the simplest of opportunities.
This Coaching/Captaincy combination seems to have lot of bad luck as well as indicated by not only the losing streak in Tests and ODIs but also Atapattu's toss losing sequence .
They both seem to be not having any luck at all and that is all the more reason to expedite this double change.
Moody is not upto the job at International llevel, along with several of the players, and while unfortunately we cannot afford to get rid of some of them because not enough talent is available in reserve to replace them, We certainly can get rid of the Over-paid coach (who BTW gets paid far far more than Murali, Atapattu, or Sngakkara alone or combined ).
And whats more the buffoons at SL Cricket have thrown more money on getting an expensive Overseas Assistant Coach as well.
Those idiots seem to think throwing money on expensive losers(coaches) is the remedy and not spending that money on Grassroots cricket in SL so that future generations of Sri Lankans can be priviledged by a SL Tendulkar or a SL Lara or a SL McGrath discovered in the future.
