The hilarious part is the way they always say that they will learn from their mistakes and bad experiences but never ever do 🤣 They do well when the pressure is off. They will always struggle on bouncy wickets but do well on their flat tracks in SL. I said years ago that they need a Psychologist and psychiatrist as well as a coach and I still remain convinced that this is an urgent need. |
Lazza, there was a review. A lotta problems. See below. |

Inquiry alleges fake prophet, partying and fights derailed Sri Lanka Cup tilt
January 13
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/inquiry-alleges-fake-prophet-partying-and-fights-derailed-sri-lanka-cup-tilt-20230113-p5ccby.html
"Danushka’s court matter has been adjourned until February 23... He is currently on bail, with strict reporting conditions and a night curfew.
A separate, non-criminal investigation found Sri Lanka players, officials and associates misbehaved...
The five-member panel recommended that casinos be off-limits for players on overseas tours and that wives be allowed in their hotel rooms – a practice permitted until 2016 – to ensure they do not violate team discipline protocols.
Chamika Karunaratne was involved in a brawl at a casino along with six teammates when he took exception to a patron taking his picture. He was fined and given a suspended ban last year.
...
The probe also found that former high-performance manager, Jerome Jayaratne, was sent to Melbourne for 10 days and paid $7000, but had no official role with the team.
It’s understood Jayaratne is related by marriage to the Rajapaksa family who have dominated Sri Lankan politics for decades.
...
There was also mention of former skipper Mahela Jayawardene, who travelled as a “consultant coach” at the cricket board’s expense but opened a branch of his up-market Ministry of Crab restaurant chain in Australia.
Sensationally, there are now calls for a wider investigation into a man claiming to be a prophet who established considerable influence over some team members and key officials. The prophet’s authenticity has been called into question." |

Finn Allen vs. Oz highlights:
https://www.icc-cricket.com/video/2866602 .
Still gobsmacked by Oz players' excuse for their WC failure.  "One bad match. Finn Allen's innings. Blah, blah, blah."
Sheesh... Finn played a cameo. 42 (16). An oppo batter's 42 is not the reason for a whole failed WC!! If he'd scored 142, it'd be a less unhinged excuse. |
