    for me, two wrong decisions:

    1) Inclusion of Chameera ahead of Lahiru: Given the current form, Lahiru would be a better bowler than Chameera in terms of both pace and accuracy.

    2) Kusal Perera at No. 3: the biggest joke ..... at least need to send him at No. 7 so that he can wag the bat for quick 20 / 30. Anyway, in my opinion Kusal Perera should have not been included in the test XI.

    1. Yeah may be. but I guess they just went with the reputation. not the worst decision though but yeah.

    2. absolutely. Kusal is basically Amla these days in tests. form is non existent. should have played Tharanga instead.

    one thing is clear, they are not picking players according to their form. if not, Tharanga and Kumara would have been their first picks.
