Ross Taylor seemed like the only weak link in the middle order in the last few matches. If this is him back in form, then NZ really have ironed out their batting for the world cup.

The only question mark is over Guptill.
 
Lool another one doesn't reach a century

"hmm, NZ vs SL looking like a good contest, lemme check the thread on PP. No doubt there is some good, interesting debate about

In all seriousness some of being said is ridiculous.

Don't make me bring up those child prostitution rates.

He's probably about 10-13 years old and thinking its funny. Odds are in a few years he'll look back at this and think of how stupid it is. May as well wait for the inevitable ban.

Plus if you go to your profile there's an ignore user feature I think, might come in handy
 
Hopefully world cup matches start a bit earlier. Not easy to catch these games at these times.
 
LOL at our bowlers. I actually thought we had a genuine chance to win this WC till 4 days ago. SL looks crap and Canada got demoted to division 3 cricket and all my childhood players' careers are coming to an end. I think I'm gonna get away from this cricket bs for now.
 
Going in with just 3 front line bowlers the whole series. Epic fail. Sick of these Jeevans and Karunas. Where's Kusal? Bat him in the middle order.

Dilly
Mahela
Sanga
Chandi/Thiri
Mathews
Kusal
Perera
Sena
Prasad/Kula
Herath
Lakmal
Malinga/Prasad/Kula

Now that's prolly the best line-up we can put up. Selectors are absolutely hopeless.
 
Wait I think there are 12 there :)) I meant

Dilly
Mahela
Sanga
Chandi/Thiri
Mathews
Kusal
Perera
Sena
Lakmal/Prasad/Kula
Herath
Malinga/Prasad/Kula
 
SL have missed Mathews big time for the last 2 games, he offers the much needed fire power and finishing needed in the middle order.
 
This WC is gonna be an absolute cracker! Prolly 4/5 in-form teams atm but any one of the top 7 can win it me thinks. Can't wait.

Kusal flopped against one of the worst bowling attack playing in one of the best batting conditions. Can't rely on Karunaratne, I think Tharanga was the honest chance we had as an opener.
 
Don't get why chandimal doesn't get his no.3/ no.4 position. He cannot accelerate at the end so no point in playing in at no.7.

The Lanka team that played with Graham Ford as coach , with Tharanga batting at 7 was really good .

Yes he goes for one too many shots but along with Mathews he's the only decent LOIs prospects we have imo. He can win matches unlike the others. Chandi is good outside the SC but for some reason sucks in the SC and Thiri is neither here nor there. Karuna and Jevvan are hopeless. UT is a tried and tested failure. Same goes for quite a few others as well. Batting Kusal in the middle order I reckon is the way to go. He can come in during the batting PP and go berserk.

Selectors trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Absolute geniuses they are.

It was a good idea to play him in the middle. But SL need a good middle order batsmen, Perera is hopeless, Mathews needs someone to build innings. Kusal probably is a good candidate in the middle.
