We have not exactly fared badly in the tri-series in the past. My memories go back to 1995 when we really got into the groove of becoming world champs under Arjuna. That series is the one that triggered us to go on and win the world cup. The famous series when Murali was no-balled by Hair and Emerson and Sanath and Kalu started terrorizing bowlers.
This series will be very interesting and I think we have a good chance of coming back into form and I think the youngsters-Chandimal, Thisara and Thirimanne- should be given chances consistently. I think the boys should look back at the last one day series played in Oz with that miraculous partnership of Malinga and Mathews, for some fond inspiration.
It baffles me too, as to why Randiv is being consistently ignored!! What wrong did this guy do to get this kind of treatment?
Enjoyed listening. Keep it up guys!!

Iranda, I think it's fair to say that we haven't done well in AUS tri-series overall.
From 1985 - present
Won 18 lost 54
From 96 series - present
Won 15 lost 31
Thanks a lot, keep listening :)

Indika - You are right. I guess what I should have really said was that even though we have not performed consistently in the tri-series in the past, we have had some very good performances in Australia in the recent past.
One more correction - Murali's no-balling was in the series of 1999 and not 95. My bad :( Results of getting old I guess.
Hope the guys can come back for a better performance against the Aussies tomorrow. Yesterday's match against India was a bummer. Mahela has to find his feet again.
