Thisara Perera - Why is he Pakistan's boogeyman?

[Suleiman]

Always seems threatening against us for no reason even though he is as average as they come with one or 2 big performances.

Last game he dispatched Malik and Sarfraz for low scores. Took a hat trick against us in 2012, took a 5fer against us in 2014 dismissing us for 130 odd. Are we scared of slightly tall and well fed pacers or what is it?

Never understood why we fall to random under the radar players.

He also took a World XI game away from us smashing bowlers all over the GSL.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He gave us a trophy though

Again today he could've put the target just out of our reach when he was 38 at a 100+ SR but thankfully got run out even though 2 overs left. Should be batting way higher than 8 imo.

I am actually angry at him. He looks so non threatening and for no reason only performs against us.

He will always be a Pakistani hero for dropping that sitter at the CT.

And he recently visited Pak as well on that world tour.

yup

If he had caught Sarfaraz then we wouldn't have won the champions trophy, that is a fact, which is why I will always have respect for the big fella, also toured us

Back at it again is the boogeyman tonight, right on the cusp of Halloween.

Thisara is a slogger who can get lucky from time to time. His bowling poor and his fielding is atrocious.

Can't believe he is in the team let alone captaining Lanka. Just shows the lack of upcoming talent in Srilanka.

T prera must be made captain of t20 side , the team fought well under his captaincy. He was very much involved throughout the match( when SL was bowling) in contrast to tharanga and other lackluster guys . He has some fighting attitude . It is the mentality that is more worrisome for Siri Lankan cricket rather than the talent.
