3rd odi Sri lanka vs England analysis :Two big changes for sri lanka in fourth ODI

-
It was a day started with joy and ended up with utter dissapoinment for the lankans where they scored 55-0 in first 5 overs and just 95 for 9 wickets for rest 16 in rain affected 3 rd odi .The only positive was sri lanka could see 50 plus partnership for opening wicket after a while.Remarkable thing was new choice at no 3 kusal mendis failing to score and gone for a duck for 3 rd consecutive inning dissapointing the passionate lankan fans.He was selected in place of experienced upul tharanga who has got some success in middle order compared to the other sri lankan batsmen.Also the bowling of sri lankan pacers were not upto the mark which gifted england the match.Kusal Mendis may deserve another chance for atleast 1 odi considering the promise he brought to the lankan fans in his first few matches but surely this is not the time to test for lankans as they must surely look for a victory so they should try the veteran upul in place of Mendis for next match.Being unsuccecsful to justify his selection of pradeep sri lanka should surely give chance for chameera/rajitha to atleast try making a mark to turn the match for sri lanka if they go for 4 specialist bowlers .Other considerable points is de silva playing at 6 deserve to play at 3 being the best batsmen of current team as he is unable to go and hit it out of ground from first ball as you saw yesterday so sri lanka can atleast take some consistency into team as we talked in previous post.Join with us D FACTO team for interesting reviews and if u missed our previous post on discussion on team selection for the worldcup,do not hesitate to see and comment your ideas on our blog.Cheers!!!

Sri lankan team selected to play first Test against England

It was not a very good limited over season for the sri lankan cricket team but despite of limited over failures sri lankan team managed to show their good performances in test cricket in their last 4 series as follows:

Winning south africa series 2-0 in sri lanka
Drawing west indies series 1-1 in West indies
Winning Bangladesh series 1-0 in Bangladesh
Drawing 2 test matches in India

Currently at ICC test rankings sri lanka is at 6 th position with 97 points and this series will be a very good chance for the team to improve the rankings to get to NO5 winning it 3-0.

In all the success of the test series sri lanka had the main weapon Rangana Herath with them but after first test he is leaving test cricket so sri lanka should try to get the maximum out of him in the first test.As per the squad we thought of suggesting the best possible team for 1 st test based on conditions of the ground and previous performances .Our team is as follows:

1.Dimuth Karunarathne
2.Dhananjaya Desilva
3.Kusa…

Sri lanka missing their best finisher Asela Gunarathne?

What was remarkable in last ODI against England was there was a good start,some stability in middle overs but no one to finish it succesfully or in other words no one to add the icing to the cake.India got Dhoni ,Bangladesh got Mahamadulla but sri lanka? Sri lanka doesn't have a finisher? Nah my fellas sri lanka has that wonderful finisher who did that miracle in  australia  to seal the T20 series  for Sri lanka known as Asela Gunarathne or 'Army Gune' .But never saw him in the show for last few months after tri series in Bangladesh and we never get back into the winning momentum after that.How can we win the race without our best horse or in other words how can we win our war without our best guns?It is time for the selectors to think whether they give him a chance or continue the loosing momentum.

2 nd Test Sri Lanka vs England:Sri lankan team selected for second test.Two new players into team.

It was not the ideal start for sri lanka into the series as they lost the first test but surely toss also played a crucial part in the match as England got quality spinners which was lacking when south africa and australia toured sri lanka earlier.All credit should be given to England for their win but still there is lot to play for sri lanka in the series as two more matches are coming up.

News coming from the dug out is not as so good for sri lanka as sri lanka has to start their journey without Rangana herath in this match and Also Captain Chandimal will not take part in the match due to an injury.Also Akila Dananjaya is reported for suspect action by ICC but he might take part in the 2 nd test as per news.

Team D FACTO thought of suggesting the best team possible as per the views of our viewers and  based on ground conditions and Team.New inclusion had been made as Charith Asalanka former U19 captain comes to replace Chandimal and Roshen Silva is expected to come into the 2nd tes…
