Our Women’s T 20 team needs a complete revamp after the WC debacle. – By Sunil Thenabadu Sri Lanka’s  team’s performance at the T20 World Cup could be described as “not acceptable” a consequence of skill “failing us” after we were completely  knocked out of the tournament .It is a pity for the Asian Champions to be classified as the worst out of the ten teams that participated, even performing worst than the minnows Scotland who has had a better record been a team that resisted against the better teams in their  group. Sri Lanka have lost all of their four matches in the World Cup, hence obviously cannot advance from  the group after coming into the event with the expectation they could go to semi finals after an impressive last 20 months having crowned as the Asia cup champions. Since the last T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka had won ...

England nonchalantly cruise past Sri Lanka to take series. Dead rubber crucial to Sri Lanka’s future aspirations. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka surrendered meekly and their performances against England will be viewed as less than acceptable for the lack of competitive spirit. The three Test series has been decided in England’s favour in a fizzer as the home team advances towards a 3-0 sweep much in line with the anticipated outcome, unless Sri Lanka can produce an unlikely turnaround in the dead rubber. Yes, beating England at home is a big ask, but not unachievable. But the Lankans who boast a better record in Tests compared to the white ball game were a yawning gap away from the best. Dhananjaya de Silva’s men had a well balanced team. But his decision making in England raised eyebrows for how to read the conditions over there. ...

India men sweep aside Sri Lanka in another dominant series.   Bowlers give Sri Lanka a glimmer of hope in dead rubber but arouses intringue as batters squander the opportunity once again.  BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) It was a story of stark contrasts as Sri Lanka’s men were thrashed 3-0 by a less than full strength India in their T20 series, while Sri Lanka’s women basked in the glory of an Asia Cup triumph over the highly fancied Indians.  In a questionable rushed series,  India were untroubled against a lacklustre Sri Lanka team that seem to have no answer to their tormentors as they continue to go down meekly when they meet.  If the plan was to lose, then they have been consistent, but changes at the top in administrative and coaching departments have shown nothing to reverse their substandard performances over the recent past. If there ...
