The misfit who became a raging bull-BY CALLISTUS DAVY Thisara Perera formed a rare breed of Sri Lankans Source:Sundayobserver It was shortly before lunch on the first morning of the third and final cricket Test between Sri Lanka and England at the Rose Bowl in Southampton and in walked the strapping figure of Thisara Perera. Wickets fell at regular intervals and Thisara Perera had no clue what to do other than sky the ball twice in the air and minutes later walk back perhaps relieved to realise the occasion did not suit him on that cold grey day in June 2011 as he played in only his second of six Tests. ...

Finishers are the ones who have long careers – Wanindu Hasaranga Source: SportsHome If Wanindu Hasaranga kept his nerve in the frenzied finish, it’s becuase he’s been a similar situation before. If he batted cleverly with the tail, and measured the last Sri Lanka push to perfection, it’s because memories of triumphing in arguably tougher circumstances are fresh. Sri Lanka needed 28 off 27 balls, with only two wickets in hand, when Hasaranga had to really take control of the chase against West Indies. In the end, his 42 not out off 39 balls took Sri Lanka home with one wicket and five balls to spare. Just a month ago, however, Hasaranga had produced a similarly impressive knock, on the same ground, in the final of Sri Lanka’s club T20 competition. On that occasion, his 60 not out off 34 balls, had occasioned a last-ball victory for Colombo Cricket Club. It was that experience, ...

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 ...

Lankans slip sliding from World Cup heroes to near zero BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Sri Lanka’s triumphant Test match euphoria has quickly dissipated into the previously familiar role of eating humble pie as the South Africans exacted revenge for their embarrassment in the Tests by grinding their opponents into the dust leading 3-0 in the one-dayers in a relentless display of ferocity. Already, the series has moved into a dead rubber situation with two games remaining as the struggling Sri Lanka lineup find that their horses for courses squad does not match up to the heroes that dethroned the hosts in the two Test series a few weeks prior. One- day skipper Lasith Malinga’s desperate move to publicly scorn his squad for their lack of respect at being given national selection and reminding them of the pride associated with donning the Sri Lanka cap appears to have added more ...
