It's embarrassing. They've lost close to 75% of the matches they've played since 2017. They don't want you to talk about it.Could they spring a few surprises? Er, there's an outside chance. So long as the captain can get his senior players pulling in the same direction, and if the coach and chief selector/manager can get along, and maybe if they suddenly fix their slapstick fielding, and they find a way to consistently bat 50 overs, plus take wickets through the middle overs, and keep oppositions quiet in the death ove… look, this team sucks.Disaster scenario: The most important folks in the Sri Lanka set-up - the administrators - miss their flights, and are unable to make their expensive, board-funded trips to the UK.What will happen if they win? The sun rises in the west, gravity ceases to exist, and the ICC chooses to expand the next World Cup, shunning short-term profits in favour of growing the game the way it is supposed to.Andrew Fidel Fernando - Cricinfo</blockquote>
