@DArmChairCritic Agree with this statement, followed all the matches they played and realized that if not for the blazing PP starts we would have struggled to get past 250.
It's baffling how we don't have any power hitters or at least grooming someone with the potential to hit long. SMH
@rohann__45 So when he was the coach that won you trophies he was a mastermind. Now he is the reason for your downfall?
Double standards at its best. Period.
@_Naviya_ Funny enough Marnus playing and also captaining in big 2026, while Maheesh is warming benches.
Goes on to show why PSL is another LPL with higher investment, but same backwards thinking
@SameeraAriyara4@DArmChairCritic And I am still surprised that Shanaka gets hate from our so-called Lanka cricket experts in X.
Name me one batter who could've come as close as Shanaka did? One batter on the island?
Most Sri Lankans still want anchors and pick the gap kind of batters? What a joke!!
@ashwinravi99@dasunshanaka1@ashwinravi99 please mention how that six over cover went for 97m
It's not everyday you see a batsman hit a six over cover let alone hit it for 97m
@_Naviya_ When he waves goodbye, he will be remembered as a great hitter. Maybe be a dead rubber game today, but he is the kind of batter when he clicks he gives fans a reservoir of hope.
And he will always be a special player regardless of what our plastic fans say!
@Uppercut07 I keep saying that it isn't Dasun's fault or inability. He is by far the best hitter of the ball on the island, this WC was a failure because of our inability to play spin and modern T20. All we hear is our experts asking to run 2s and 3s, the game has evolved.
Respect culture, but don’t label it as Islam if it isn’t rooted in the Qur’an or authentic Hadith. The Prophet ﷺ and his companions didn’t treat cultural limitations as religious rulings and we shouldn’t either. Bid’ah begins when culture is given the status of revelation
@FarhanKhan6pcp @ESPNcricinfo Well no offence, what was the Pakistan team doing against India?
Did they read the condition? NO.
Did they bat sensibly? NO.
Did they give a fight? NO.
Being delusional is okay but being delusional as an occupation isn't
@FarhanKhan6pcp @ESPNcricinfo Like I said earlier let's agree with it being Sri Lanka's home ground. But what have you got to say about Zimbabwe still above Pakistan? Zimbabwe played all their matches in Sri Lanka too
@ShahidNadeem_PK @ESPNcricinfo Zimbabwe also played all their group stage matches in SL and is still ahead of PAK, maybe you should learn to accept that there's a lack of intent in PAK batting
