Left-arm quick from Hungama could be next big thing in cricket-by Rex Clementine Source:Island Left-arm quick Dilshan Madushanka has suddenly become the talk in cricket circles after he was drafted into the Sri Lankan squad that will tour South Africa later this year for the Boxing Day and New Year Tests. The 22 players who will go on the tour will begin a week-long residential training camp in Pallekele later this week and all eyes will be on Madushanka. The 20-year-old hails from the fishing village of Hungama in the Hambantota district. His father is a fisherman and his talent was spotted by former fast bowling great Chaminda Vaas. A couple of years ago, Madushanka had turned up as a net bowler in Hambantota as Sri Lanka were training and Vaas referred him to former Test captain Hashan Tillakaratne, who was the Head Coach of the Under-19 side. ...

Lasith Malinga in action for the last time Much improved Sri Lanka exit before semis – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE England grabbed the World Cup in controversial manner after an epic final against a plucky New Zealand and debate will rage into the next episode about the fairness of the competition rules which crowned them champions for the very first time. After scores were tied at the end of the England innings and tied again after the super over it seemed a travesty of justice that the number of boundaries scored by the two sides ultimately decided a winner. To make matters worse one boundary by a deflected default in the crucial stages. All in all, it was a wonderful competition highlighted by some close encounters and apart from quickly emerging Afghanistan, there was little to choose from the other competing teams which augurs well for the ...

Bangladesh winners Sri Lanka in 2018 – By Trevine Rodrigo (Melbourne) Sri Lanka’s stunning turnaround in Bangladesh has restored some confidence in their fans and if the ensuing T20 triangular involving India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Sri Lanka goes by the script a second place to India will attest their steady incline. Realistically, the Sri Lankans riding the crest of a wave after their clean sweep in Bangladesh, could have made the world sit up and take notice if they won this home Nidahas T20 tri- series after a comfortable win over arch rival India in the first game. But their new expectations received a jarring reminder that none of their opponents are easy beats as Bangladesh went on to prove by humbling the hosts in their own back yard. This was followed by a loss to India in the second game and Sri Lanka now have their fate ...

Hathurusinghe brings glad tidings to Sri Lanka cricket – By Trevine Rodrigo (Melbourne) Trevine Rodrigo (Melbourne) Chandika_Hathurusinghe Kusal Mendis in Action Looking at Sri Lanka’s new-found confidence with the same group of players now showing their real potential is proof enough that there is no lack of talent in the Island nation. Just the inability of those guiding their fortunes being able to work on their mindset and subtle tinkering of their talent. The bowling which was of real concern appears to have been sorted out with the available talent led by veterans Suranga Lakmal and Rangana Herath at the helm ably supported by emerging stars Dhananjaya De Silva and Dilruwan Perera helping re-shape a reasonable attack. But what has been most heartening is the increasing consistency of their batsmen who hammered the Bangladesh attack for 713 for 9 in reply to the hosts 513. ...

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 ...
