- AJ on India ‘got lucky’ with Sri Lanka’s decision to field, says IyerDid Mahela do a favouration to India by choosing to bat first. Both Rohit & Ponting of Mumbai Indians were surprised that Sri Lanka chose to bat first because they knew the ball is doing things under light, do you think Mumbai's main coach, Mahela didn't know? Here again Iyer says the same. Surely Mahela did not want to upset his pay masters by beating them in their den.Mahela want Sri Lanka to lose to keep his Mumbai job safe.Mahela has earned his fame & posts because of SL cricket but rather than take a nominal amount for his work he plunders it as a misguided son would do to his parents.
- Doosra on CWC Match Review: Sri Lanka vs AfghanistanSelectors should not have dropped Kusal Perera and they should bring back the captain Dasun Shanaka. I don't believe that Dasun is injured. SLC did the same thing to other captains in the past and made them fake injuries to replace them in the middle of ICC tournaments.
- Dias on Uncle Percy, cricket’s first superfan, dies aged 87Rest in peace Percy!
- dk9t on How about this change to the batting lineup.Yes worth a try. Otherwise DDS not worth batting down the order. Otherwise drop DDS and replace with Wella. After world cup, should really look to groom Avishka Fernando, Shevon Daniel, Nuwanidu Fernando
- dk9t on Should Angelo Mathews replace Sadeera Samarawickrama?Shevon Daniel, Avishka Fernando, Nuwainidu Fernando these players need to be groomed. Spinning department Viyaskanth needs to be groomed. This is where you need good selectors and administration who have a brain..
- dk9t on Should Angelo Mathews replace Sadeera Samarawickrama?No, he is the future of the batting. Dhananjaya De Silva needs to be given a break and replace with Angelo Mathews Dhananjaya De Silva is not for number 6. And he is suited for only certain pitches and teams.
- Dias on Should Angelo Mathews replace Sadeera Samarawickrama?I think the batting will be stronger with Angelo in the side. What do you guys think?
- dk9t on OUR SELECTORS & THE CAPTAIN SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WC DEFEAT AGAINST PAKISTANAvishka Fernando is the type of player who can be that power hitter, he should be given a long run in the future. Mathews would have been an ideal 4-6 overs new ball bowing, who has this knack of taking wickets upfront with a new ball, saw him doing this continuously latter part of the recently concluded LPL. Also, would have given some extra runs down the order at the death. His 50 overs game, batting record in India was pretty good, if we look at the stats, he has scored 2 hundreds in India (Ranchi, Mohali are the venues).
- dk9t on OUR SELECTORS & THE CAPTAIN SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WC DEFEAT AGAINST PAKISTANIf no Hasranga, Viyaskanth, Prabath Jaysuriya are the type of bowlers who can give that control, bowl dot balls and build pressure on batting tracks, flat tracks in India. Nuwan Pradeep from fast bowling point of view would have done the same, I remember him doing well in flat Pakistan tracks when the tour Pakistan for T20 series and won. He also bowled well in the recently concluded LPL. Nuwan Thushara is another one should really be given chance afte Pramod Madushan is another who bowled well in the recently concluded Asia cup, end up not selected in WC squad.
- dk9t on OUR SELECTORS & THE CAPTAIN SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WC DEFEAT AGAINST PAKISTANCan Chamika still be selected in the playing 11? Reserve player can't be drafted into the 15 unless there is an injury.
- dk9t on Review: SL vs PAK CWC 2023Without Hasaranga and Chammera (injured players), ideal squad for WC23 1. Pathum Nissanka 2. Kusal Perera 3. Kusal Mendis 4. Sadeera 5. Angelo Mathews 6. Charith Asalanka 7. Avishka Fernando 8. Dasun Shanka/Dunith Wella 9. Makesh Theekshana 10. Nuwan Pradeep 11. Dilshan Madushanka/Pramod Madushan Also Shevon Daniel should be considered after WC is over.
- dk9t on Review: SL vs PAK CWC 2023Also, Mathews has this knack of picking up wicket upfront, he showed that in recently concluded IPL, would have been really handy, with his experience in this WC.
- dk9t on Review: SL vs PAK CWC 2023Yes, whatever you listed are always has been the problem and the players don't seem to put that effort to correct those and seem to be repeating the same mistake so there is no consistency. DDS doesn't seem to be the type of player who is suited for flat Indian batting tracks, his batting and bowling effective in SL condition. Without Hasaranga , need a good quality spinner, who can bowl a few overs, give you that control and build pressure: Viyaskanth, PrabathJaysuriya are the names come to mind. Fast bowing point of view, without Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep would have been a better choice, Pramod Madushan are the type of bowlers could have given that control, bowling good line and length. Remember Nuwan Pradeep performed well in Pakistan, similar type of Indian pitches when he toured Pakistan. Nuwan Thushara - another one should be given a chance and be part of the system. From power hitting point of view, in the middle order, Avishka Fernando, Mathews would have been handy.
- Dias on Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka, ICC World Cup 2023, Warm Up Match – HighlightsThanks for sharing this! Really wanted to watch this match!
- AJ on පෙර දැක්ම – නවසීලන්ත පන්දුවට එංගලන්ත පිත්ත පරදියිද? | Road To World Cup 2023 – ENG vs NZ, Match 01If Dasun is playing why not he comes after the third wicket to play a cameo whatever the circumstance the team is in at that time because he can play without pressure as Asalanka & Sadeera still to come in even if he fails then. He should not plan to play a long innings because then he gets out with his poor defence. He comes now as last recognized batter after a collapse which adds further pressure to his poor form.

- Jagath Perera on Sri Lanka women’s cricket team qualifies for Asian Games finalsWell done ladies! Congratulations 🎉

- Sasm on World Cup 2023 – Sri Lanka SquadLike the team, bold and it’s a spinning wicket we should play this lineup. Is a Chameera out from WC? If we do end up playing 2 paceys, it should be between Chameera, Madushanka and Pathirana. A heavy right hand batting line up, I would play Madushanka ahead of Pathirana. I would still take Dimuth as an extra batsman too.

- SI Cricket Talks on Sri lanka vs Bangladesh – Asia CupThis is an incredibly bold squad and will be nice to see Sri Lanka Cricket try a different mix but Kusal Mendis not playing is unlikely as he is vice-captain aside from that other changes to this squad that can be made is Kasun Rajitha in for Pramod Madushan, Dunith Wellalaga in for Dushan Hemantha though it is risky to play without a legspinner, and Kusal Perera in for Charith Asalanka due to his experience. Below is an ideal squad: 1. Dimuth Karunaratne 2. Pathum Nissanka 3. Kusal Janith Perera (experience) 4. Kusal Mendis 5. Dhananjaya de Silva 6. Dasun Shanaka 7. Dunith Wellalage 8. Maheesh Theekshana 9. Kasun Rajitha (experience) 10. Binura Fernando 11. Matheesha Pathirana (X factor)
- Ninth on Asia Cup 2023 – Sri Lanka SquadAsia cup squad Dimuth Karunaratne Pathum Nissanka Dhananjaya de Silva Sadeera Samarawickrama Kusal Janith Perera Dasun Shanaka Dushan Hemantha Maheesh Theekshana Matheesha Pathirana Pramod Madushan Binura Fernando Bench Charith Asalanka Kusal Mendis Kasun Rajitha Dunith Wellalage
- Dias on Kusal Mendis and the need to be patient with youngstersTHIS. 100%. Just look at Dhananjaya de Silva too. With every passing year he is becoming better and better. We need selectors and SLC officials who have a long term vision.
- Dias on Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga bids farewell to Test cricketWhen Malinga retired from test cricket because of his knee issue Rex and Arjuna and other media attack dogs went mad and said he retired for IPL money. Why are they so quiet bout Haaranga?
- AJ on Asia Cup 2023 – Sri Lanka SquadIdeally if the selection committee is smart & brave should drop Shanaka as the captain. On what evidence do they keep him where he has been failing in all games he played at home & abroad in recent time. Now most likely Chameera is out injured. If brave make Hasaranga the captain or conservatively Dimuth, the captain. At least for the Asia cup as a trial. Wanidu is in form & looks good captaincy material. Even other teams will take him with a guard knowing his strength. Asalanka too looks out of form so may fit in Avishka in his place. Pathum Dimuth Mendis KJP Avishka Sadeera DDS Wanidu (Cap) Theekshana Madushanka Kumara. Reserve : Pathirana Asalanka Archchige Pramod Madushan.

- RW on යාපනෙන් ගිහින් යාපනේටම ගහපු තුන් දෙනා | Review LPL Day 03We need to put an immediate stop to this pathetic dialogue between two of our commentators talking about their schools ad nauseum during commentary be in the LPL or in international games. Such childish talk on the international stage shows nothing but their naivety & stupidity. Will the SLC take immediate steps to stop these two clowns & remove them from future stints. In fact they give quite a distorted view of our school system to the world as we are only of some alien saint schools in the country.
- MW on පසු දැක්ම| පරාජයෙන් පසු ටෙස්ට් කණ්ඩායමේ ලොකු වෙනසක් වෙයිද? (Review| SL vs Pak, 2nd Test 2023, SSC)Well I don't agree with you giving Mendis' s place to Kamindu M. Kamindu is a very poor fielder dropping catches & has not grabbed opportunities given to him before except that one innings. The same can be said about Oshada.We have to look beyond those two. A main reason I see for this debacle is scheduling these two Tests immediately after the one dayers in Zimbabwe. Most batsmen, Dimuth, Mendis, Sadeera & DDs were in one day mould. The board sacrificed these two Tests I think to play the LPL. Otherwise there should have been some three day/four day games at home for these batters before the Tests. Other important step is to remove the reluctant captain from his post because he has no responsibility now. He is above reproach now because he would say ,did n't I say I want to quit.DDS as captain & retain the same team but give them adequate practice & time playing 3/4 day games when switching from one day games to Tests.
- Sasm on ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier – Sri Lanka SquadKasun Rajitha is hot and cold. I would never pick him over Chameera. Also not drop Dana. Was really hoping Wellalage performed, so he can be the 3rd spinner but he has not, so don’t think he will get a call up. Theekshana is bowling decently. If he doesn’t get at least 2 wickets a game as a frontline bowler. Ramesh Mendis is who I would tap. Also hope KJP recovers so he can take Sadheera’s position. Pathum Dimuth Mendis KJP/Sadheera Asalanka Dana Shanaka Hasaranga Ramesh Chameera Lahiru/Madushanka/Chammika
- Shaheed Akram on Where is KJP and Avishka?Is Avishka dropped??
- Sasm on ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier – Sri Lanka SquadToo many untested players at the international level. I do wonder why we don’t open ODIs with Mendis. If he open I would play KJP one down. Sounds like he is injured again.
