But apart from that good cricket,it let us can see some block-holes of Srilanka cricket.....
We were having a good,balanced,consistence bowling side earlier.But that bowling side has suddenly vanished from Srilankan cricket pool...
The team selection is ruling out some aggressive match winning bowlers to get the chance to show their guds....Through out the series Thushara is missed out....Dilhara has just brought up....Malinga has opt out for the first ODI.....I really don't see why these changes are being made by SL...No bowlers are allowed to play consecutive matches other than Kulasekara and Welagedara...Kulasekara is not a fast bowler.He is a medium fast bowler...In fact he was the No.1 bowler....But if we take Shewag,Tendulcar,Dhoni,Yuvraj,Raina all these guys are feels quiet easy to handle medium fast bowlers....And the fast bowlers that we are having in our team is Welagedara,who is lacking with experience....and i really don't know why Srilanaka is hanging with him other than using some usual bowlers to play against top team in the world......
Maharoof is a kind of bowler who can bat a bit and can turn the match with taking the batsmen behind the wicket.So he could be used to get rid of a man who is in form.But he has vanished from the side...
And i really don't know why these guys are going without even a single spinner....Actually spin is not going to work with India...But we can't go with no spinners at all...
And what srilanka plans to do with sanath's bating order is good,but the man they selected for that (i mean sanath) is not the appropriate one for that role....Sanath is not an aggressive player against spin.Sanath should open the bat else he should be opt out from the side...No use in batting down the order...
And there should be a talented,experienced batsmen down the order to carry out the match that has got a good start.And Kandamby,Mathews,Kapugedara are normally been used to that part. But they are not experienced guys.So they can't handle the tough times.As well as they need an experience player to be with them as the partner.And that is lacking in our team.All the experienced batsmen are coming at the top of the order and the new comers or youngsters are down at the order and they struggles to handle the pressure.And seniors are escaping from taking the pressure on them.Thats why SL has lost the last match.....
What they can do is opt out Kulasekara and include Maharoof in and drop Sanath or Tharanga and take a spinner other than Mendis....and take Malinga instead of Welagedara.And by taking care of the pitch they can have Samaraweera and Kapugedara.(If that pitch is a bowler friendly Samaraweera should be there to hang on at the middle,else a quick scorer is needed)
And let Mahela to bat down the order at the power plays with the youngsters rather than letting Snanth to bat down the order.
This is what they can do in the team..
And there is another area that Srilanka has to learn is Playing under the pressure of the spectators.They don't really play good cricket in Premadassa stadium in Colombo bcz of the crowd's pressure..As the same they are struggling in India. This has to be changed.
And they should get back their fielding standards and should practice to chase under lights.
These are some areas that i feel as they have to improve and these are the block holes in our team....
Lets hope the best in the next four ODI matches against India....
