Sri Lanka's second string looks as ropey and unready for the big-time as England's... but so long as Jayasuria, Tharanga, jayawardene, Dilshan, Sangakkara, Vaas, Malinga and Murali stay fit... that's 8 of a very good XI... and with Jayasuria offering bowling support to Vaas, Malinga and Murali... the pressure on whoever fills the final three spots isn't going to be too great. | Even if they are inexperienced they have all proven they can do great things. Even lara admits tharanga is going to be hard to get out in the future. moody says there is barely a flaw in histechnique. after maharoof's perfomance against a good windies team(with help from malinga and vaas) has got up there in the best bowling. |
