A great insight from Estelle.. on the batting lineup with Kamindu and Pathum..totally agree w her on this one. Not her usual “it’s a little bit of both right?”😂. Also on marks point about the killer instinct in Sri Lankan cricket, I think it gets beaten out of them in the school system in exchange for “respect”😭
Well few things- 1)I really don't understand why we didnt play at least 1 warm up game against a SA state side. No point going to SA 10 days or 1 month before the start if the prep is not top quality. 2) They should have rested the all format players from the NZ Series. Asitha was only given a break the last 2 games, he was playing non stop all formats till then. Bad plater management and being short sighted 3) I agree with the mentality, need to develop a hard nosed - hard minded players. Even Bangala players are more battle hardened in terms of test match intensity
The reality is Chandimal, Mathews, Karunaratne, Mendis and De Silva are part of the post Jayawardene-Sangakkara era and, it was a complete decline they kept losing series after series and they have a losing mentality they are good players but they are not world class and we need a change we need players that haven't been scarred by previous results new blood is needed.
@ no but they didn’t have the fast bowlers back then we had Welegedara and Thushara this fast bowling group is the best we have had. We just need batsmen that have a winning mindset and want to make big runs then we will have a team here.
There’s no bangladefication Sri Lanka has improved a lot over the last few years. These lot are waiting to take on Sanath like those Facebook meme page admins and trolls. Especially the bold guy and that woman Sri Lanka(like other Asian teams) has always been poor outside Asia even when we had Murali /Mahela etc, at least we competed well this time, and there’s nothing wrong with taking home advantage, especially in tests. This series could have been 1-1 if we took the last two SA wickets quickly in their first inns
That woman: "I don't think it's a problem, in Test Cricket, that we've created conditions that are basically so conducive to Sri Lankan teams (strengths). But we need to master those conditions."
Dollars to donuts that you're one of those people that told us all to shut up when we were in that neverending "transition period" that the rest of us TOLD you was a decline. Now you've changed tack to just insulting people to cover up the truth: the enshittification of SL cricket. You want to live in delusion about us only being able to win tests at home, be my guest. Don't ask the rest of us to drink the koolaid with you. 42 all out and multiple collapses, "we've improved" lu. Ow ithing, when the bar was on the ground we've definitely improved. Koheda yana pissek.
Dont compare srilanka team with that poor bangladesh. What is bangladesh home records? We srilankan complete dominant team now a days in home series except pakistan tour. Every team had home advantage thats why SA also did it but if SA come to srilanka then play in our condition this series would be srilanka favor but bangladesh didnt well they home tour also with SA 😅😅😅 dont use that bangladesh compare with us lol

As someone who actually did end up waking up at 3am to watch the 5th day, Mark gave Dom exactly the right advice.
Karunaratne was such a let down !

Agree with all 3 points.

Did we really win overseas redball matches in Mahela Sanga era or before ?

real classy to refer to them as the "bald guy" and "that woman", when you see their names for an hour, loser
Definitely no bangladeshification! It’s only because they’ve lost at a place they’ve won at before
Plus dhananjaya and Angelo batted well too!
Bowlers did their job and batters failed again. Same old story away from home
0:09 no they’re not manny machado’s cousins 😂😂

What's the Bangladesh test record at home conditions to align with us?
