Dilshan 100*


What a champ. 2nd century in the series.

And so close to retiring.

 

[McGarrett]

Whenever an innings from one of our batsmen was brought up you mentioned that it didn't mean anything because lakmal wasn't playing.

Do you want me to post all of them mcgarrett

Yeah go find 'em. Then you will realize that you've been chewing too much mushroom.

 

[Aman]

SL should have two pinch hitters as their next 2 batsmen.

 

[Aman]

PP time.

 

[McGarrett]

And so close to retiring.

So what ? Has your minnow nation ever produced a batsman like him ?

When discussing corey andersons batting in the first odi

"Its all related. The OP is about the 1st ODI and his performance against a SL attack minus Malinga+Lakmal. So, i mentioned that he( + his team) wouldn't be able to do it against a full strength SL... "

There you go mcgarrett. Can't even remember your own posts

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=137844]McGarrett[/MENTION] I assume you'll stop watching cricket once your big 3 retire?

You look like an idiot calling us a minnow nation about now don't you

 

[Fire Bird]

thought he was playing at the SSC when he tried that shot. FTB gone

 

[McGarrett]

You look like an idiot calling us a minnow nation about now don't you

You look like a bigger idiot talking rubbish here. Shut ya mouth 'n watch the bloody match.

 

[Justcrazy]

Watch the next ball

 

[Thivagar]

Not expecting anything from others. Good innings by Dilshan. Can't believe we wasted 9 years of his career making him bat number 7.

 

[McGarrett]

Well played Dilly

RESPECT !!!

 

[Fire Bird]

The other FTB gone ) Now Spirit of Cricket XI is in deep trouble.

 

[McGarrett]

Watch the next ball

So what ?? do you see crying and weeping , Troll ???

 

[McGarrett]

^me*

 

[Thivagar]

Jeevan's last appearance for SL )

 

[Justcrazy]

five down now

 

[McGarrett]

Where is Hack Perera ??

 

[lameduck]

This is why I thought SL need Kithruwan Vithanage

 

[lameduck]

Chandimal can't play attack. He is suited for a pivot role at no.3. Too many test match type players in the WC squad

 

[Fire Bird]

Chandimal comes in at 7. Sl sent LOLasekara and Mendis ahead of a batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

Perera in now.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Hack brigade falling apart.

 

[McGarrett]

Perera )

 

[Fire Bird]

SL fallinf like nine pins

 

[Thivagar]

Chandimal comes in at 7. Sl sent LOLasekara and Mendis ahead of a batsman

Kulesekara is a good hack. Scored a 72 of 42 in Australia and then a 50 of 30 in England. Chandimal is a horrible hack and Karunaratne is a major tuk tuk. SL were thinking about using the hacks to increase the SR and let the batsmen chase a comfortable task.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dropped !!!

could have been eight one

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka lost plot completely , otherwise would have been a close game.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Mendis trying to pull off his 1 in 50 game to stay in the team

 

[McGarrett]

Mendis :

Looks like this is a pitch where you cant come in and start hitting. You have to get used to the bounce before going for it. Chandimal doesnt look like a natural slogger he is a decent bat though.

 

[Thivagar]

Perera sucks big time. Time to bring Prasad in for Perera, Kusal in for Jeevan and Mahela to open. Prasad can bat better than Perera. No point in expecting a 30 of 12balls every 15 games from him and expect to give him one good bowling performance in 10 matches. Dilshan can spin instead of Jeevan the run conceding machine

Mahela
Dilshan
Sangakkara
Thirimanne
Mathews
Chandimal
Kusal
Prasad
Herath
Lakmal
Malinga/Kulesekara

This batting looks much more threatening and the bowling looks the same.

 

[Justcrazy]

eight down , Boult gets that one.

Perera will not be dropped , he is an impact player. You need one such game changer.

Kulesekara can hack regardless of the pitch. But he hacks ones every 15 matches. Chandimal is probably to stupid for international cricket. Thirimanne is a far more inferior player than Chandimal, but he is smart and he uses his available talent to get runs across.

 

[McGarrett]

Bell on 99* AUS Vs. ENG

 

[Thivagar]

Impact player every 15 games. He is overhyped to max. Anything above 138+ and any spin that turns more than 6 inces he is done for.

 

[Thivagar]

Karunaratne getting some practice balls

 

[Thivagar]

Im outta here good night.

 

[McGarrett]

9 down :

 

[NZcricketfan]

Good game thivagar. Suck it mcgarrett

 

[McGarrett]

A Good game.

Well done Kiwis !!!

Well played Dilshan as well !!!

Sanga always lets the team down when it comes to big chases. Have been noticing this for a while.

Why are you expecting that from Sanga? Sanga isn't a great ODI player. He great in test format.
