South Africa jump to number two with comprehensive thrashing of Sri Lanka. Humbled Lankans tumble from number three spot.- BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor). South Africa steamrolled Sri Lanka and jumped to number two in the world Test cricket rankings while pushing the third placed Lankans to number five as the top teams battle for a place innings the final against India or Australia.  Indisciplined batting by Sri Lanka,  but more importantly, terrific line and length by South Africa’s bowlers saw the inevitable happen as the home team humbled the Lankans by 233 runs at Kingsmead in Durban.  South Africa were clinical in their plans to use familiar conditions with the bounce and movement to their advantage.  They executed it to perfection.  Sri Lanka’s batters showed signs of a fight in their second effort but it was too little too late with half the side departing for ...

Kamindu Mendis and Sri Lanka are streaming towards the summit of world cricket.  Sri Lanka spinners have New Zealand in a dizzy tailspin. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka’s stupendous turnaround after thrashing England in the third Test at the Oval continues to spiral them upwards, now with the series victory over New Zealand in Galle.  Suddenly, a team widely categorised as ordinary, has catapulted themselves to number three in the World Championship rankings behind Australia and India making everyone sit up and take notice. Obviously former coach Chris Silverwood was sitting on a golden nestegg but was unable to notice it’s shimmer. Sanath Jayasuriya appears to have polished it to its shining brilliance and produced what was always there to be exploited but needing tinkering through a different mental approach.  The blend of youth and experience has made Sri Lanka a revelation in the ...

Sri Lanka’s Triumph at The Oval Analysed & Weighed-by Nick Brookes Source:Thuppahis in his MURALI END site with this title “English Summer gives Sri Lanka Something to Build Upon”…… reproduced here with highlights imposed by The Editor, Thuppahi The scene couldn’t have been any less Sri Lankan. The skies were ashen and the clouds heavy; the harsh gusts of wind warned that winter was on its way. Sri Lanka’s support staff wore hoodies and woolly hats; even the English fielders clung to handwarmers. Yet, the awful weather couldn’t keep Sri Lanka’s fans away. Nor could it keep Pathum Nissanka quiet. As he nudged the ball past backward point – declaring Sri Lanka emphatic winners of the third Test – smiles lit up South London and lion flags fluttered all around The Oval. Sri Lanka had their fourth victory on English soil. Unexpected? Undoubtedly. Yet it’s hard to say that it wasn’t deserved. Of course, the ...

Sri Lankan Cricket Tour of England: Andrew in Q & A with Sanath Source:Thuppahis Q and A between Andrew and Sanath Sanath Jayasuriya is Sri Lanka’s coach only in an interim capacity, as they prepare for their biggest Test series of the year. He was appointed after former coach Chris Silverwood declined to renew his contract at the end of June. Jayasuriya has tasted some success in the job so far, with Sri Lanka beating India 2-0 in the ODI series earlier this month. He spoke to ESPNcricinfo about the challenges that England, and Bazball, will present over the next few weeks. As someone who routinely took attacks apart, including in England, in the Test format, what do you make of Bazball? You get various styles depending on the time. Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist did it too during our time. This is something similar to what we have had in the past. There ...

Angelo Matthews, Dinesh Chandimal and Dimuth Karunaratne lead Sri Lanka cricket revival. Experienced trio save Sri Lanka some blushes against Afghanistan – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (eLanka Sports editor) Afganistan showed the cricketing world that their lack of Test cricket experience will not be a long term deterrent as they made Sri Lanka sweat before recording a ten wicket win in Colombo.  The plucky Afgans looked done and dusted when they folded for 198 in a sorry first innings effort. But they fought back with bat and ball after Sri Lanka’s batters galloped to a 241- run first innings lead. Their batters then hit their straps to give Sri Lanka some anxious moments overhauling the deficit without any discomfort against an attack that destroyed them in the first innings.  Sr Lanka’s pacemen found their early success hard to replicate as the wicket appeared to flatten out to batter friendly conditions ...
