    Heartening. When will they play test matches to beat in tests to make us significant and formidable in every sense?

    Coaching staff negligence Thursday, 18 April 2024 01:40 PM

    Hats off to Chamari.Wonder why our stupid coaching staff did not alert other batter DeSilva to allow Chamari to cross the double century.DeSilva scored a boundary then preventing Chamari to cross the line. Now this has happened several times when our cricketers missing a very significant milestone ,they say they were unaware of it, poor staff.

    Female version of Sanath Jayasuriya. Our cricketing women are better than our cricketing men.
