Still don't understand why Wellington is so highly rated. Completely over rated spinner

Raza should have bowled that over. Unusual for him not to grab the ball.

Another vital wicket!!!!

Man, Sri Lankas batting really is poor. A far cry from sides of yesteryear.

Hes a decent player. He'd play ahead of Muralitheran in our side though.

Myers finishes in about 3 months. Bennett out, Myers in.
I'm not against that at all. Just need to look after these lads. Need to make sure what's happened to Wez doesn't happen to Bennett, Myers and the Welch brothers. I still believe Marumani has a massive part to play in our future sides, but he needs to engage brain and be more selective
Agree with this. Nothing with guys making their debuts when they are 26 after a few years playing club cricket in the UK and FC stuff in Zim.

He needs some specialised coaching. Has some wild swings at anything over the top of off. Great eye

To be honest I don't rate K-Long. He's just a black Coventry or a right handed Cephas. Has the odd wonder shot in his armoury and then chews on 10 balls. I'd much rather see Nick Welch up top, or somebody different at least.

I'd have ervine out of this T20 side and maybe even see what Burl can do up top. I've championed Burl as an opener since he returned in 2015 (as did googly) yet he's always hidden in the middle to lower orders.

Asalanka is the key wicket here. Need to get him in the next 4 overs or so or we're in trouble

No I've downgraded Burl.
