I hope John Bracewell is watching. The Sri Lankan selectors have radically overhauled their side for the tour to New Zealand. Out are Upul Chandana, Nuwan Zoysa, Thilan Samaraweera and Dilhara Lokuhettige. In are Malinga Bandara, Lasith Malinga, Ruchira Perera, Sanath Jayasuriya and Jehan Mubarak.
Zoysa has an excellent record in New Zealand (12 wickets in 7 matches at 17.00 and an economy rate of 3.77) and I am surprised he has been dropped. Jayasuriya was preditably returned to the side after his surprise dumping before the disastrous series against India.
Sri Lanka has had a bad time of it lately, but we should be cautious before we write off any side that contains Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan.
