Hello All...
Now as you may remember me saying in my first blog that I am
an unreliable writer who will not blog if he does not have anything much to say.
That proved to be true. I also said Mahela being captain wouldn't necessarily
grant us victory if we don’t get our selections right and the 2nd test proved
that, so as far as I’m concerned I’m on fire! :-p
Ego aside I’m not sure what is the right the right team
either, should Prasad and Lakmal be pursued? After the 2nd match at P.Sara it
has become clear that neither is very good. Also why is Shaminda Eranga being
ignored he had an impressive test debut against the Australians. Now I’m not
exactly suggesting that a bad selection alone lost us that match but is Thrimanna
an opener? Are we going to wait and hope that Dilshan finds form and sense?
Kumar Sangakkara had his worst tour for a while but we can’t really read into
that as he was practically a make shift opener most of last year as well as
this series. And lastly I wonder whether we need to rethink on what spinner
should assist Herath in Test matches.Personally Randiv looks like the real deal,even though he went for a few..maybe a couple of more test matches would help him.
Also Pakistan looks like their finally getting cricket back
in their country with an ODI tour of Bangladesh. International cricket needs
Pakistan not only as a cricketing team but also at as a nation.
P.s-Appreciate it if you guys could comment on what should be the team's composition should be.
Cheers :)
