I must admit I'm not the greatest fan of Mahela, but the man simply outshines all other SL captains when it comes to strategy. Angelo is lucky; he can learn a lot from just watching. If I was Thirimanne, I'd pay attention too :) The win last night seemed unreal. I was numb even when it was apparent we were going to beat the Aussies comprehensively. Maybe I don't want to get my hopes up. Am I the only one who feels this way? Well said DamSam.

Our bowling department now makes me cry. I used to really like the guy (still do, personally) but as a cricketer, it’s sad to see him becoming useless to the team. :(

He showed so much improvement in SA that would be a crime if he doesnt get a chance in Aus. To me he is the most improved SL quick and he can only get better the more he plays. Then there is Eranga, who was very good v Aus at home and is now playing FC cricket. Dont really rate Pradeep. Lakmal is steady. So IMO, we have plenty of options to try who are going to be better suited for what the game demands just at the moment. Sure NK had a good game yesterday and he will prob now play almost all games but take him to a road like Adeliade or MCG and you just someone like Warner to be in the groove and he will find facing up to NK the easiest he has had it. ps- We all miss VAss!

Not saying I don't agree with you, just that we aren't exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to the pace department (putting NK under Pace is a bit of a stretch admittedly). I watch Malinga bowl and wonder what'd happen if he happens to break down. Then we are stuck with Prasad and co. Or, god forbid, Dilhara. The problem with the new group is they aren't out and out wicket takers nor are they economical. At least with Kulasekara the team management has some idea of what he can and can't do. PS: I keep hoping Kulasekara has one more level to go and become a sorta Chaminda Vaas Lite. Hasn't happened. PPS: I really miss Chaminda Vaas. I don’t know machan.

I have known Nuwan all his life. He is a talented youngster with a few more years to offer the national team. I certainly hope he proves you wrong tonight! Annonymos Dear damiths,

Your words are hurtful and uncalled for. I have known Nuwan all his life. He is a talented youngster with a few more years to offer the national team. I certainly hope he proves you wrong tonight!
