With Sri Lanka’s fortunes in the 50-over game taking a nose-dive in recent times it will need a cricketing miracle if the country is to proceed beyond the first round. Leave alone winning the 2019 World Cup.Given the present trend, the squads to NZ, Aussie and SA for the ‘cowboy games’ will return like wounded soldiers and those concerned will have an enormous healing job to do to wave the magic wand and perform a Miracle. It will require a change in personal attitudes, a seriousness in purpose and a concerted effort at team play.
