And the Lankans do it again !
After such an abject performance in Australia, I am stunned they’ve turned it around, and in South Africa no less.
If, and it’s an if, they can find some consistency they have the base of a really good side. Karunaratne at the top and captain, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera and new guy Oshawa Fernando look a strong middle order, Dhananjaya De Silva a handy all rounder, Dickwella a handy keeper batsman, and 3 decent quicks in Rajitha, Lakmal and Viswa Fernando.
What they need is one of these 4 batsmen to go up to the next level (Sanga or Mahela Level), a genuine all conditions spinner like Nathan Lyon and a bit of depth in players pushing the top guys - and they are going to go well over the next few years......
