Sri Lanka has a very glaring weaknesses that do not seem to have been addressed from the last few games.

(1) They lack a big hitter in the no8 slot. Kapugedera or Lokuarachchi/ Bandara badly needed. This will also add variety to the bowling.

(2) Jayasuriya is not looking good, so much so that maybe a left hand right hand combination involving Attapattu and Tharanga should be considered as the openers ?

(3) Maharoof and Dilhara Fernando not tight enough and the skipper keeps bowling Maharoof without a slip and edges go to the boundry. Fernando's no ball problem is still prevelant and he bowls too many to be acceptable at this level.

Come on Sri Lanka ! You can't get away with these shortcomings as the opposition gets better.
