I find it frustrating to find early morning that Sri Lanka won.
Damn. Australia cant win anything.
Sri Lanka won with 1 wicket with some "magical" innings from Malinga and the cribber tantrum thrower Angelo Mathews (I remember 2 times he threw tantrums when he collided with a player and when out threw bat and stuff).
Good job. Series win on the horizon.
But also on the horizon is the blabbering and rants from SangaNanga and Mahela Mahila in their press confrences and blogs respectively.
SangaNanga has already begun savioring the magical and awesome win vs Australia as he finds Australia a very great place to come to. Today MCG looked like it was a Sri Lankan ground. Yuck...those boring grounds when the fans just dance on the boring drumming and band playing in the background.
The problem with Sri Lankan assesment is that they think that every win in any format takes the to another plane/level in the game and their performers are world class. They do not have a core set of players they stick to .
They chuck players too soon and bring new players every new series. They continue playing weak teams and if not weak teams, they have India playing them. Their main batsmen continue to be SangaNanga, Mahela Blabba, Dilshan and in bowling only Randi is sure of a spot in the test team. Rest they keep chopping, frying, changing. Their next big thing soon become thing of past in a matter of series. Masaraweera, Mendha, Lahiru Timmu, Paragraph and so many others have come and gone. So tough to remember all their players except 5 or 6.
They'd still go the quarters or semis in the world cup cos they are going to play their most games at the Lankan backwaters where any foren team can hardly win thanks to the slow low wikats and strangling tactics by the bowlers who since their inception learn to bowl negative lines.
This team can never be an exciting team. Pakistan for all its fallacies and evils are still a team to watch cos we dont know what they'd come upto.
