Interesting.. Badureliya is not a strong enough opponent, but when you looking at the 2nd highest score in the match, this is some brilliant knock. Reminds me that Mahela's 160+ against Kiwis on a rank turner at Galle.

**maestro_of_cricket** · 02-22-2012, 01:16 PM

nicely designed opening post praveen.

**Aussikolla** · 02-22-2012, 08:40 PM

No...

**The One** · 02-22-2012, 09:27 PM

Shouldnt wait too long. Within the year Id say.

**marlin** · 02-22-2012, 09:33 PM

A player like Suresh Raina? Talented but limited technique... Guess selectors should give more time to him

**SriLion** · 02-22-2012, 09:47 PM

not yet , he can have his chance in 2013 ,

he is better than chandial..not like raina who failed for boucne,,he prefer more bounce and pace..AUS U19(including mitch marsh) know how they get thrashed by him in last year in AUS

I also think its too early for Bhanuka to come into the national Team.

**ishanr111** · 02-23-2012, 06:10 AM

Bhanuka at least should play in Sri Lanka's T20 side this year.. sometimes some players, you just have to give a chance early and see.. Kohli and Mitch Marsh are perfect examples
