Selections and a new beginning

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 :)
