How about getting services of one of Mahela or Sangakarra as the head coach for a start. Mahela & Sangakarra are busy with IPL teams, rope in Dilshan, Malinga or Samaraweera. Even the 90's players can serve the purpose.

SLC should copy BCCI, get in past players as head coach & other person to run the National Cricket Academy like the one we have in Bangalore. VVS Laxman is the head at the NCA. VVS is the head coach when our second XI plays lower ranked sides.

Get in a pool of fit 7-8 fast bowlers. 4-5 spinners.

This current bunch is not that bad, they are missing Hasaranga & Chameera. Get in likes of Avishka Fernando, Gunathilaka now that he is free. Even Vishwa Fernando could have been better choice than Kumara.

Angelo Mathews's experience in the middle order would have come in handy in yesterday's match.

SL should take a leaf out of England 2015-2017 book. They should target 2025 Champions Trophy, 2026 World T20 & 2027 World Cup.

PJ,
Did you meet him on the plane.?

PJ was lucky to be assigned as a sanitation engineer on that return plane.

It appears to me that SL parties are just syndicate of crooks, how can a leader from hoards of crooks be a revolutionary leader ? Im pretty sure there are many other wanna be do gooders and their names are already on election ballets, but who votes for them ? who gives them media attention ?

If we end up at rock bottom, it might force some changes that can only be good in the longterm.

What will happen is SL will beat India and then SLC will boast that SL beat the WC champions. SLC will also boast that many players including the captain who scored a 60 in the previous inning was injured.

Mahela is a consultant already, Sangakkara and Mahela dont really want to deal with corrupt crooks. They are athletes, not dirty politicians. It is not for them. Plus their payment will be shit. Sanga makes more money doing commentating for Sky Sports few months a year than if he were to be involved in stupid SLC drama for all year around. The players are stupid, they can't be helped and then on top you will get blamed for their retardedness.
