Sorry world2020 I genuinely tried
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - Bada - 11-01-2021
I think they should give KJP a break. He was doing well in ODI some time ago, but couldn't play much. Has gone downhill big time in T20I. Maybe post-covid trouble, maybe not.
Asalanka and Bhanuka should be given a run. These two might make it to the next T20 WC.
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - JamisBanda - 11-01-2021
I get the feeling team is 60-70% ready to compete properly , we still have 3-4 passengers in the team, if that can be improved then they can compete properly in next WC
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - BELSWILF - 11-01-2021
After this WC, I think we should schedule and play more T20 matches against teams like Afghan, Namibia and Bangla as preparations for next year's T20 WC in Australia. The reason I picked these 3 countries not for sarcasm, but realistically speaking, it will be easier to find free time with them, than with top teams for like a 5-match series.
Then, when we play them, we should pick players like Kamil Mishara, Pulina Tharanga, Matheesha Pathirana, Lahiru Madushanka, Kamindu Mendis, Saminda Lakshan, Dhananjaya Lakshan etc. etc, those who did well in the SLC Invitational T20s. Well, you could also use the LPL performances by then. But, my point here is, stop using KJP, Avishka, Akila etc. in those bilateral series, that blocks watching new youngsters against international teams. So, we will never get to them..
We should give a rest to tried and tested players when we play such series, so we could use those opportunities to broaden our bench strength with some experience. That way, we have a bigger pool to select from come the next world cup time.
So, when we pick our national team for a WC again, those experience seekers cannot rule out or oppose the selection of the above named players.

Playing against lowly placed teams as preparation could be useful but in reality it doesn't help much in getting our skills in the right place as we have seen at this WC. We smashed the associates in round one which could have given us a false sense of hope but we have made plenty of mistakes when it came to playing the big teams. Classic example is Avishka Fernando, smashed the opposition in round one but has been a total failure since. Even our pace bowlers did so well in round one but has been patchy against the better teams. I guess we can take Nissanka, Asalanka, Rajapaksa, Hasaranga, Chamika, Chameera to the next t20WC in Australia. I hope KJP can get back to his old form, he is too important a player to just discard. Not too sure about Shanaka unless he contributes more to the team as a player. We might have the three Durham boys back as well, at least two.
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - JamisBanda - 11-01-2021
Who will walk in to the team from those three players? Dickwella surely since KJP's keeping seem to be poor? or do we have any other keepers.
I'm just starting to like the SL team again probably due to lack of seeing likes of Mendis, Dhanushka and Lakmal in the team
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - Bada - 11-02-2021
I think Asalanka can open. He walks in after some ball eating now. Let him get ahead of the game.

Think we should remove him from T20s. KJP that is and he can open in the50 over format.
