I think the Australian selectors got it wrong picking the weakest team for the test series and a stronger unit for the ODI's and the T20's.

I think it was our bowling that let us down. Full tosses and giving width and wrong length coupled with no line on to stumps.

Well, now we should agree with Arujuna Aiya what he said. We need the help from our Senior Players to train our guys.

With the true cricketing spirit we all must congratulate the Australian Team as they proved that they are No. 1 in one days and T20's.

Australia is a much better team than Sri Lanka, they had a hick up in their test series as the weather was too hot and our guys couldnt simply handle the heat.

Why SL selectors pick Thisara Perera. He is a liability in all forms of cricket. Pathetic bowling and batting.

Mr.down under. Your summer temperature is way hotter than sl average temp of 32c. Just an excuse for the loss is not good enough. Sl out played aus with class in the 3 test which you have to admit. No point crying over spilt milk.
