Sri lankan bad performance being witnessed by the world, hopeless bowling being wacked, left and right, lost interesting, watching Sri Lanka playing. I blame the selectors.

On the pretext that all are injured and no replacements available; you guys get back home immediately. You will allow even b’desh and af’gtan to break records. Thanks Dasun and admire only your confidence that you are going to beat SA; but curse you and your teams for the lacklustre performance. Pity you guys. Come home and play marbles

Why these commentators are acting the role of team consultants. They have been paid to talk about what is happening in a particular match which they have been assigned as commentators not the indivual's form

SL should bat first to avoid huge scores against SL.
