do you guys agree, or do you think they will do something different?

1. Parantivana
2. Dilshan/Prasanna
3. Sangakkara
4. Mahela
5. Chandimal
6. Samaraweera
7. Perera
8. Randiv
9. Herath
10. Welegedara
11. Fernando

been anounced Dilshan is out hasn't it sonic?

They should really drop Maharoof (can't bat, can't bowl, can't field either), and given that they're 1-0 down should maybe go for five bowlers, maybe Randiv coming in.
So something like
Parantivana
Thrimannie
Sangakrra (C)
Jaywardene
Samaweera
Prassana (WK)
Randiv
Herath
Welegedra
Lakmal
Fernando

yes it's a long tail, but they need to bowl England out twice to level the series, so I think it's worth the risk...

Sorry I wasn't aware that was the case, Dilshan is a stubborn guy though so he may force the issue.

I just cant beleive Maharoof will play again, the oviosu thing to do would be to replace him with a proper batsman. But if Dilshan isnt fit they have a real problem and will have to turn to their reserve "cant bat cant bowl" player if they want to replace him.

They are going to be reliant on their star batsmen whatever side is selected.

Personally I think Perera was harshly dropped.

The pitch in Cardiff didn't suit his bowling and Lords would've been more up his street.

Perera can also wallop the ball.

perera was harshly dropped, maharoof is awful.

I think Perera may make a return at the expense of Maharoof, who is probably about as good as I was when I was 13. Thirmannie, scored a century against Essex, so I'd assume he'll come in for Dilshan.
