mm.. First I think Mahela was very unlucky to loose the toss. Dambulla pitch always had something for fast bowlers in the morning sessions.
Secondly I don't think this batting line up is correct.
Sanga should not open. He's our best batsmen and we should play him at no 3. Malintha Warnapura should open with Sana from the next ODI onwards. Chamara Silva has to make way for him cos any way we need to play 5 bowlers as we don't have the luxuary of Farveez Maharoof for this series. Malintha was one of the inform batsmen in the previous test series and he's not a slow run getter either.
It is the batting that let us down today.. Hope the boys will comeback strongly in the next game..
This should be the line up for the next ODI if Vass is 100% Fit..
