Finally. After a long time SLC made a good decision. Or can I say, the only good decision in a long long time.

Selectors may be jistified to rest Thorimanne. Bit Kaushal should hv been played on. Kapila W. is supposed to be a Thomian captain who lost the big match. So his strategies are doubtful. Sports minister needs to get new selection team on board.

Like to like replacement. Thirimanne who scored a golden duck during the practice match replaced by the other player who scored a golden duck in that game.

We should have honoured Murali also by giving VC at least few matches before his retirement.
