Test two will be intense as the Bangladesh challenge looms real. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor). Sri Lanka escaped embarrassment in Galle thanks to the weather gods and now has to reassess and regroup in Colombo at the SSC, to try and overcome a determined Bangladesh. Once the easybeats in world cricket, Bangladesh is anything but, right now. So Sri Lanka’s task of taking a series lead will be an acid test and expose their strength at home in the opening World Test Championship. The draw in Galle confirmed Sri Lanka’s vulnerability at a venue that was once a potential advantage to the home side. Unusual totals in Galle signalled a change in the characteristics of the pitches although Sri Lanka struggled on day five and could have lost if Bangladesh skipper Shanto timed his declaration better. A leading scribe in Sri Lanka good humouredly suggested ...

Australia Squashed in Second ODI ….. Grounded to Dust-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis in An Interpretation of the Scorelines and the ESPN Report from Tristan Lavayette https://thuppahis.com/2025/02/15/australia-squashed-in-second-odi-grounded-to-dust/ A shorthanded Australia will enter the Champions Trophy bereft of confidence and desperate for answers after a hefty 2-0 ODI series defeat to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka’s massive 174-run victory in the second ODI in Colombo was set up by Kusal Mendis and captain Charith Asalanka powering them to 281. Kusal made 101 off 115 balls, and had strong partnerships with Asalanka and Nishan Madushka, before Australia were routed for just 107 in the 25th over. Kusal Mendis celebrates It was Sri Lanka’s largest ODI victory over Australia, who recorded their equal eighth-lowest total in the format. Australia were comprehensively outplayed through the entire match. Their seam-bowling stocks have been decimated, with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis missing this series and the Champions ...

Sri Lanka take another comprehensive hammering from second string New Zealand in one dayers. Series loss highlights batting issues that need urgent address. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO A win in the lost T20 series to start the year made little difference to Sri Lanka’s ongoing batting woes as they crashed to another embarrassing series defeat to New Zealand’s second string in Dunedin. While Sri Lanka has no answer to New Zealand’s emerging talent, the worrying inconsistency of Sri Lanka’s batting remains unresolved with no foreseeable remedy. This is their main reason for why they sit in pathetic quandary giving their fans no joy. Frustrating as it is, the question lies with the game’s coaching staff and administrators who appear nonplussed much like the selected squad who have little or no idea on how to formulate a winning game plan.The batting coaches shoulder much of this responsibility. There’s no lack of ...

Rex Clementine Reviews SAF Test Tour-by Rex Clementine Source:Thuppahis Sri Lankan cricket has experienced a year of dramatic highs and sobering lows. Triumphs across formats—like breaking a 27-year ODI series drought against India, clinching a Test win in England after a decade, and securing a Test series victory over New Zealand after 14 years—are testaments to their resurgence. But the recent Test series defeat in South Africa has been a bitter pill to swallow, especially when a World Test Championship final berth seemed within reach. At the forefront of this rollercoaster ride is Sanath Jayasuriya, who has reinvigorated the team with his bold decisions and unwavering support for emerging players. However, the South African tour exposed significant gaps in Sri Lanka’s armour, leading to a 2-0 defeat. “It’s been a good turnaround overall, but this series was disappointing,” Jayasuriya admitted candidly. “We had moments of promise but couldn’t sustain pressure. Back home, ...
