bro openning z nt all abt technique
remember in Jayasuriya's Old Days,He hasnt any technique,Only cld play da ball very harf,But later he managed 2 make the technique tht z wanted 2 be 4 a Opener.

My logic z 2 send da Maharoof with da aspect of Pinch Hitting.So tht may be release the pressure on Middle Order F he connects well
Remember Maharoof Scored 3 ODI half Centuries 2.........He has some sort of technique 2 survive.................

Just thnk he z a powerful striker,He can play da ball over da infield very easily.So itz a waste of talent f he comes as da no 7 o 8 batsman and just gets out hit in da air......bcaz when he comes 2 da battng fielders spread out.So itz quite hard 2 bat...........

Warnapura z a good batsman.No doubt there.But then We can add a extra batsman 2 our team as Maharoof Opening da Battng.......
Australia doing that these days with Shane watson opening da innings

Also Shoib Malik,He was da no 11 batsman when he cam 2 da team.Bt 2day hes playng in da position no 4.....................

Nw Itz Ur Turn 2 Reply.............
Wil I open a different thraed 2 Discuss this issue furthermore??????

yes jayasuriya did survive without proper technique ..but not for long..remember the time when bowlers just bowls closer to his body and he would chop it on or get caught at slip? i see what ur saying is that maha has a lot of potential..and yes there is no harm in trying him out..but wouldnt a solid foundation be better than a 'chance' of runs? (pinch hittin wont work everyday ne )

and according to the new rules the batsmen can hav a powerplay when they want it..so even if maha comes in at 7..if the powerplay is available..he can make use of it...and also we need someone to hit at the last few overs..unless there is a replacement for him..his service is more valuable at no 7 or 8 than at opening..cos right now openers are okay ..tharanga is good so is udawatte..

so bro ur point is fine and fair..and in the end its not for us to decide ne..so who cares?

No i said we hav 2 do some sort of a gamble in 1st 10 overs in a powerplay with using a pinch hitter......SL tried this way and succesful in 96 world cup also............So in this case v can add a xtra batsman 2 da team like Australia.......

I can c wat ur sayng abt da 3rd Powerplay.......Itz true f he can take tht and smash da ball out of da park.Next one z we havnt any hard hittng batsman down the order.....so tht case also itz better 2 put Maha dwn da order........

U r corect.Diz z nt our buisness.Itz up 2 da Selection Commitee .............

our luck wasnt there

ubata pissuda machan..if luck wasnt with us ..we cud have easily lost the last 3 games.. one bitter truth remains sanath means 50% of sri lankan batting

 

[asanka_lahiru]

with all due respect 4 all da bloggers..i thought da pitch was pretty slower dan a normal pitch ya get around dis tym in Zimbabwe...cz there is nt much cricket being played.. I can point out sum fact 4 our poor batting

*their blowers were pretty much around 100/110 kmh unlikely our blowers..
*pitch getting deteriorated as tym goes by..
*NT reading da conditions well (Our batters nt at all worried abt playing through da line..always tried 2 play across da line lik v play in subcontinent pitches
*Ddnt even bother 2 get singles as it's vital in pitches lik dat
*Expectations r high as v play teams lik Zimbabwe (people wants 2 see v overwhelm them fiercely)
*Still v r struggling 2 find da rite opening combination..as v all knw opening partnership is very important in all aspect of da game
*At da moment v r going through a transition period

These r my fact fellows...apart f all dis i still think our team is 2nd best team in da world beside Australia..it's just a matter of tym...im sure v'll regain our form bak!!

machn i hav to disagree ther with u on the maharoof point..because he lacks the technique that is needed to open the inning..i mean look at atapattu..he had amazing technique still he had probs with the best bowlers around the world...

i would suggest malinda warnapura..he has nice talent..better stroke play..i wonder why he wasnt in the tour..but then again udawatte got a chance..and was somewht consistant..

i agree the pitch is very slow..even utseya was getting a lot of spin..difficult to bat on..very much like dambulla ground..so our guys fought well and didnt let go..so it wasnt a bad match at all

Machan we must give chance to like maharoof or thushara

watch other countrys like Australias Shane Watson

India Irfan Pathan

Pakistans Shoaib Malik

South africa Nicky Boje

But Srilanka management not doing this

2011 manawa waida machan Mehama giyoth

They must give chance to youngsters

watchout Newzealand and their youngters

machanzzz Daz Rite but itz nt only up 2 da management.........Captain also takes part in selecting team's batting order...
Promoting a batsman z nt easy especially when u hav a good opening combination............
All da batsman u mentioned above was promoted as a opener at the time when their premium openers r struggling..........
Also Captain has 2 take a gamble by sending a pinch hitter as opener.....
F he z nt succesful,all da media and co start 2 blame da captain by sayng he made a huge mistake.......
Itz a good thng f SL can make a change 2 da teams battng order by sendng a hard hittng batsman.........But remember taking dat decision z nt like a walk in da park........

Also Cldnt agree ur decision 2 Send Thushara as a opener....His technique suxxxxxx..........Remember hw he scored da runs in Indian tour.......Lots of edges has gone 2 da boundry....So f he comes as a opener....He will definitely give a catch 2 da slips...........

But Machan Watch Shane Watson n His technique early days but he got da chance and watson improved imensly but srilankan players cant get even a chance to bat in upper order VS zimbabwe or bangladesh

but SLC must give chances to all rounders like them my main point is c.vass he never get a chance thats why he cant bat if he get a chance he is one of da great all rounders in da world my mind is srilanka cricket is working like 1990 s century if sri lanka cricket take forward old methods sooner than Later srilanka cricket suffer big problem Like Zimbabwe,Bangladesh and West Indies

 

[earthling]

pathetic batting display.. if we play like this against BD we will lose the series..

Vaas has gotten plenty of chances to bat.. & HE HAS FAILED...

Vaas's batting form of late is downright hilarious... He sucks even in One Day games when he needs to just hit out..he cant even do that properly..

Vaas's batting these days is a joke..
