Chandimal,Thiramane,Peter forest.....

[crikket fan]

There are few guys like Chandimal,Thiramane,Forest and many many more..... who play couple of good innings in the start of their career and then just refuse to score...
And surprisingly the team management goes on giving them chances.....

This list is just endless..


Frankly anyone in the world hopes that guys like Thiramane will win a match for Sri lanka coming at important position of 7?????????


I must say that player like this should be shown door as soon as possible....

I know i am little harsh,but in todays match when Thiramane came to bat,i was sure this guy will not score more than 10 runs....and he proved me right......

he atleast tries and he is dependable in shorter version..
Also he has finished few matches for pakistan.........

[Myrmidon]

chandimal has done a few of those too

his record is relatively similar to umar akmal, but a tiny bit better

[munda_khi]

rather unfair to chandimal. his figures are not earth shattering but quite decent

tests 4 Matches 279 Runs 34.87 Avg 3 50's (2 vs SA in SA, 1 vs PAK in SL)
ODI 40 Matches 1200 Runs 36.36 Avg 8 50's 2 100's

[Myrmidon]

his average in odi seems to have gone down last few matches

look at his record in last 10-12 matches..

i told these are the guys who did well in start of their career...but somehow completely lost now.....

[kungfu90]

Chandimal against turning ball = bunny.

[Green Leopard]

Amala should be on the list too.

No I think he meant Amala.

[muhammad saad]

Hmm I think he meant Bio Amla.

looking ar his 2012 record. yes test figures are nothing to be proud of but QDI ones are better than his career record. he had very good tours of australia and south africa. before that ha had a good tour of england in 2011. so actually he came good in the conditions where most asian batsmen usually fails.

test 3 Matches 167 Runs 27.83 Avg 1 50's 0 100's
ODI 24 Matches 760 Runs 40.00 Avg 7 50's 0 100's

[amlafan79]

chandimal is class will be good player in future better then jayawardene today bowl seamed away from him and u dont expect tht in these conditions ..if he would ve sticked around then sri lanka had a chance

Both Kamran and Umar started well, but faded away..

umar akmal is still a good player and won matches for pakistan....

[Itachi]

what a hypocritic post from akmal fan boys.

What makes akmal good player? Once he was rated as per with kohli. Look where kohli is now.... Now raina can be compared with him but akmal is losing there too.... Sorry fan boy, akmal is the leader of this pack.... And he is doing a Dammn good job on this till now.

[amit]

thirimanne is an opener. he will always struggle at 7. either he is to be played as an opener in the odis or not played at all

[Zamee]

Raina is way better than Akmal in terms of application. Akmal is just craaaap!

[Itachi]

agreed. Technically, akmal is way better than raina, but in terms of application, twice that crap.

I'l be honest. I liked akmal when he came into the picture. But now, when i see a shadow of "old him" in a match, after getting in to 20 or 30s, he plays one such pathetic shot, you'l be left thinking.... What the hack was that! Go to any pakistan odi commentary match thread.... All people has the same expression. "why did he play that shot?"

even with limited talent, you can survive if you know how to use that talent. In case of akmal, much talent, application is zero. Chandimal, forest are certainly better than him overall.

Well TBH i don't think there is any extra ordinary talent. He just a glorified cross bated slogger. Thats why he has such a poor shot selection and cant seem to improve.
Over-rated in my view.

[Sandeep99]

U.Akmal has a good range of shots surely...but I never see him play a proper drive to a ball outside the offstump...all he wants to do is to hit the crap out of the ball to the cow corner!

[crikket fan]

CHANDIMAL-0 runs of 3 balls today...
my point proved again today.....

i just want to see if any one still believe that this guy can score even 20 runs against decent attack.....

[LegCutter]

history....

talk about present matches.......

[Qadeer]

Chandimal is good player but nothing special about him

I miss old times when a new player burst onto the scene and you could tell straight away that hes gona be there for a long time for example KP, AB de villers, steyn,..

Sorry mate, but hypocrisy is oozing out here. You cannot have different set of rules for your pet players and others.

[Bullet Drive]

Chandimal surprisingly is very poor in Sri Lanka. Does well every where else. Still would back him all the way. You've got talent, stick with the talent.

[Kwremb]

Ya i've noticed this as well, struggles at home SL but scores well everywhere else in SA, AUS, ENG

[Bullet Drive]

In Australia Chandimal averages 52.37
In England Chandimal averages 54.66
In South Africa Chandimal averages 52.75
In Sri Lanka Chandimal averages 15.55

[JibranAnsari]

Umar definitely is the leader of the back having the best average amongst the players ,raina , thirimanne , chandimal in the last 12 months.

Has the second best average amongst the pakistani players in the last 12 months and has more 50s than everyone.
Of course pakistan lacks batting talent.

[crikket fan]

Poor guys...Thiramane and Chandimal......

someone is still thinking that these guys will come to bat someday and win the match for their country.....

ha ha ha ha ha

[Justcrazy]

SL have to keep giving them chance. They have not done too badly , sometimes selectors do go by the look of players.

But yes I agree , others also should be given a go.

[Random Aussie]

Not sure what Peter Forrest is doing in this thread, he has played what 10 games?

They used it as a Test audition, to see if he looked international class - he is not a serious ODI option, his list A record confirms that. Has now been removed from the team and next time you see him is likely to be in Test cricket not ODI.

A first class average of 35 from close to 40 games suggests otherwise. Admittedly, his List A statistics are worse - averages 26 striking at 62, so don't really have any idea what his plans are in either format. Don't tell me he's the best you've got from the Shield?

[Executioner]

Chand and thirimanne have performed quite well and their future looks bright.

btw @ seij, i know you are a die-hard SL supporter and there are many other SL supporters in this forum like me regardless of being a lankan or not.

You see there is a big difference between a "Passionate and Sane" Fan and "Blind" fan. Both can be considered as a die-hard fan but you my friend, you seem to be a "Blind" fan of the lankan team. Your efforts of comparing some of your players to other greats seem quite futile. According to you lankan players are the best in the world and lanka are dominating world cricket which is apparently false. This is a cricket forum, not facebook where you can talk all you want about your team and no-one will criticize you.
