wouldnt see losing bopara as a blow of any sort.

some truly ludicrous names in the sri lankan board 11

[M H]

Me neither mate, would like to see Bell hit some form though

[Randall]

just looked up his stats, surprised to see he averages almost 35 in all honesty.

Its like the old days

In the old days the ODIs would be out of the way before the real stuff started Oche

a two test tour is quite lengthy for us in sri lanka, i remember 1 test tours in the past.

seem to recall robin smith opening in a test there one year.

Is it right that sporting teams representing their countries tour places like Sri Lanka while their Government has been accused of war crimes?

Fully understandable when they were crick minnows mate but they're far from that now and deserve a proper series

[Randall]

zimbabwe were certainly penalised for their governments actions in the past.

[M H]

In that case it should be the same treatment as Zimbabwe
