Yes ofcourse...the players have many talents.

Answer 8

well ... if they are playing Australia they are very bad but otherwise they are ok .. some players let down the team a little compared to Mahela Jayawardene who was a great captain, but overall they are ok just look at their stats....

Answer 9

It is creditable that a small nation, suffering from years of internal strife, can produce such great players like Murali, Sanga, Mahela, Sanath, Chaminda, Aravinda, Gurusinha, Roy Dias, Atapattu, Hashan, Arjuna, Rumesh Ratnayake, Malinga, etc.

Sri Lankans are tremendously talented and brave players. They won a world cup. Don't ever raise such doubts about the Lankan team.

I hope that they can come out of the war in the north and that the country would again be a paradise on the earth, the way it was. I am an Indian but I admire the Lankans.

Answer 15

The Sri Lankan cricket team are an amazingly great team

IF ONLY

our players took responsibility; we have really unique set of players but i think our team has a few problems.

No1. the selection of players can be very questioning, like for example when tharanga was left out of the Australian CB series and a new opener came in and if you had a look at his stats i don't understand why this new guy was chosen. Every player on the team couldnt bat properly over there how do u expect an inexperienced young cricketer to open the batting.

There are also stupid decisions such as chopping and changing batting positions. eg kupugedera was moved up the order for playing well in one match and then he didn't score the next so he was moved back down. Russel Arnold use to be a good player untill they started shuffling him up and down the order.

No.2 Our players are chokers. We choked in the 2007 World Cup final and we choked again in the CB series. Sangakarra is the only player on the team who has the guts to take em all on.

No.3 For our now young ODI team to grow we need players like sangakarra and jayawardene to score some runs and lead by example. Our young player shouldn't have to come in to bat thinking that they need to save the team because the seniour players aren't scoring., that puts pressure on them. Our batting has poor shot selection and our batting is really our only concern at the momment. Even if we put our best batsmen in, they wouldn't be able to score without getting themselves into trouble.

Don't get angrey at the team, Furioso Lion88 i saw you going off at the team in a question you answered.

YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THE TEAM THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD :)

Answer 16

yes sri lanka is a good team but they don`t have the consistency for winning.......in india the croud is more which is crazy for winning every match......you might have seen the reaction of indian public when indian team returned soon to india losing early matches....so there is push from from public side to indian which help rather encourage them to show wonders.....but i think sri lankan don`t get that much push to show there talent...........every one  has got the same the talent but the main thing is the support n encouragement which is lacking in most of the teams.........

Answer 17

No.

I will have to wait for Asian ODI Championship 2008. Other than that SL is experimenting with new youngsters & hopefully, will get intact for more wins ahead of time.
