Seekkuge Prasanna - The Army Man from Sri Lanka

[King Cobra]

I am surprised that there have been no talks about this guy who comes across as a very strong, confident and fearless character.

The little cameo that he played against Pakistan in the 2nd T20 showed a lot of what he is capable of.

The way he was hitting Sixes against Hafeez in his debut T20 was phenomenal which gave a glimpse of his big hitting ability and strength.

As a proof that he is not a one match wonder, he showed his exceptional talent once again when he nearly took SL to an impossible win after coming in to bat in a hopeless situation in the 1st Odi.

He hit sixes against Bhatti, Tanvir and even Ajmal with ease with minimum effort and all of them were clean strikes.

I think if he can develop his bowling a bit more then he can become a regular feature as an A/R for SL in the Odis and with his Six hitting ability , he can be the favourite of All the T20 Leagues in the World.

I expect a decent contract coming up for him in the next IPL auction, something that Maxwell was offered.

On a personal front, he is a Soldier in the Sri Lankan Army and has fought in the War. That may have some role to play in his fearless attitude.

 

[Mobashir]

He isn't an international quality player to me.

Well, I am quite sure he will not an Maxwell like contract in IPL either (even if you never know with IPL). At best, he can play T20 for Sri Lanka...

I would like to see him bat at top of the order. He certainly is better than a number 9 position batsman.

 

[yadunoe]

been very impressed with his big hitting

 

[hadi123]

another decent performance for him. Smashed 22 of 15 against us and was fairly economical although he didn't pick up a wicket.

 

[IAJ]

Good player for the Shorter Versions.

 

[Myrmidon]

Is a beast, so is Sennayeke, any run chase is not over, till him, Perrera and Sennayake still remain, could end the match in moments.

Has got himself out with his own stupidty a few times, no great work by the bowler.

 

[PTI tsunami]

The guy is a useless bowler that's his problem

 

[eradicator]

Prasana is a Stud. I like his attitude. Very Klusener alike.

 

[Alam_dar]

I like his hard hitting capabilities.

He seems to be better all rounder than Perera for Sri Lanka.

 

[King Cobra]

He's playing after a long time, very big hitter.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Always rated him, the Guy has special Six hitting abilities.

 

[Hasan123]

Good knock by him today. England will have to bowl well at him and not let him settle.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Magical knock by him today, he has cemented his place for next 10 years.

 

[Smbhayi]

Magical knock by him today, he has cemented his place for next 10 years.

he wont fit enough to play next 10 years :zulfi

 

[Firebreaker]

Another hack who got lucky today with the help of poor bowling and small boundaries Though I rate his bowling

Still a Better Batsman than anyone produced by UAE till date.

Shoaib Akhtar played for Pakistan International Airlines, is he a pilot ? Why would you think Ajantha and this guy were soldiers cause he played for a club representing the Army ?

Wikipedia says this guy is an Army Officer in Sri Lankan Army.

Don't these guys have to undergo certain training like normal Army Soldiers ?

No it is not. They are just given a position on paper. I doubt they ever held a gun or trained in the army.
