Yeah that's my bad. I guess I was only thinking of the white colonists & upper class blacks since the whites alone make up about 4-5 million people. Not sure if Cricket is popular among regular people over there. 11-19-2023, 09:16 AM
Good spread for Sadeera apart from death. He looks a bit out of shape when he tries to hit through the line against pace. Something to work on

The other advantage that Australia has over India is that their brute and in your face method of playin cricket. Australia is an impressive sporting country. I like their sporting culture. The Afrikaans are old schooled hardnosed people, not surprised by them. Kiwi has been impressive, 4 WC semi finals in a row, World Test Champions, T20 WC finalists and the list goes on. But they could also be in their golden generation like SL. I'm convinced that SL just had a golden generation running from 1996 to 2015. 11-19-2023, 01:43 PM

Maybe Regista believes only Whites are people. 11-19-2023, 02:16 PM

But I’m actually more impressed by New Zealand’s and South Africa’s ability to create world class players given their small-ish population. Cricket is also not their primary sport, which makes their efficiency more impressive. Nah, I`m sure SL have good times ahead. The lankan kids here all tend to do pretty well. 11-19-2023, 02:18 PM

Nah, like the kids who are born to lankan parents. Might be irrelevent but I feel it indicates that theres a relatively strong cricketing culture in sl compared to the other subcontinentals here. Barring the punjabis of course. |
