Sri Lanka face uphill task against smarting Aussies – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Sri Lanka’s mission to the Southern hemisphere appears to be on a tragic course if the results in New Zealand are any indication. They left empty handed after a winless tour in all formats and life for them appears bleaker as they take on an Australian team smarting from a historic whitewash at home at the hands of the high riding Indians. While Sri Lanka’s aspirations are more in hope of improvement due to the immaturity in the current squad, the Kiwis and Aussies are proud defenders at home and are uncompromising against all-comers in battle. The Sri Lankans feature in their first Pink ball Test at the Gabba in Brisbane on February 24 before travelling to Manuka Oval in Canberra for their final encounter which is incidentally the first Test in the Australian ...

Wounded Lions seek solace in New Zealand and Australia – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Gunatilleka has much to prove. Dimuth Karunaratne will be key to Sri Lanka’s revival. Sri Lanka’s wounded Lions desperately seek some form of solace on their tour of New Zealand that has just begun after a humiliating home series drubbing by the Englishmen recently. And if New Zealand looms large, the Lankans face the acid test of pitting themselves against Australia followed by similar hostilities in South Africa in the beginning of next year. Two Tests against the New Zealanders followed by three one-dayers and a T20 game will set them up for the tougher encounters against the Australians , two Tests before they depart to the African leg which will test their worth. Indifferent form, bad selection and a huge question mark hanging over coach Chandika Hathurusinghe ...

Sri Lanka’s Cricket, like a ship without a rudder – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE

Sri Lanka’s Cricket, like a ship without a rudder – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Sri Lanka’s cricket administration has taken a media beating after a horrendous tour to England where they were thrashed in all formats of the game and the cricket mad public are demanding that heads roll for the shambolic effort that has badly tarnished a once proud nation’s image. The main target of the public rage is aimed at Chairman of selectors Sanath Jayasuriya, once a hero of an era of the country’s cricketing dominance yet unparalleled by the island nation, but now regarded as the thick skinned dictator leading to the ruin of the game. Jayasuriya’s insistence in promoting friends and sons of his political affiliations who are barely good enough to fill a club cricket role into the national team, has justifiably caused an outcry and a demand for his sacking together with his ...
