Arnold retired.Jayasuriya wants to play ODIs only.
Murali only tests.
Marvan, Vass - no comments yet.
BTW neither of them will play in 2011 world cup.
We need fresh blood to replace them.
Murali & Jayasuriya are special cases. No body can get closer to them.
Tharanga doing well as an opener. We need to find a partner for him. Even for Tharanga, we need to create competition. So we need to make sure two or three fight for the opener’s job.
Kapugedara is a promising youngster. He did quite well in last Australia tour. He too can be a candidate for the opener’s place. BTW he can even bat at number six or seven.
How in the earth we replace Murali? Malinga Bandara is no way near him. Murali’s retirement from one day cricket will create a headache for selectors.
Sri Lanka had many promising young fast bowlers during last few years – thanks to Champaka Ramanayaka. We need to absorb those into the national team as soon as possible. They should be given a fair opportunity to establish them selves in the side.
Then comes the question which matters the most. Who will lead Sri Lanka team in the 2011 world cup? I will go for Sangakkara. Mahela needs a long break, I guess.

ReplyDeleteDo you still believe in special cases? Didn't you surpass a special case in your work and aren't you still a normal case? :D
Those two are real special cases :)
