Yes, i just heard this news yesterday and you can say its both good and bad news for the Pakistan. Good in the sense that they will be playing with a relatively low strength team which makes their chances of winning bright but at the same time if Pakistan still lose the series, then people will more blame them as they are unable to win from B England team.

Pakistan is not in a very bad situation, at least when compared to Sri Lanka. So I expect them to put up a credible performance. Unlike the case with Sri Lanka, they still have a number of world class players, such as Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali. Anyway, the first ODI match is scheduled for tomorrow and this series is very important for Pakistan (because it is a part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League). England is at the top currently, and they don't need to worry. Pakistan has 40 points from 6 matches till now, and another 10-20 points in this series would be good as far as they are concerned.

Here we go lol.... Sanath ~~Jayasuriya~~ Jayasundara is banned for 7 years by ICC after he was found guilty, there was one investigating going on against him since 2019 when he tried to bribe the sport minister to influence in Srilankan A team selection.

~~Random Conspiracy (Not mine) : Jayasuriya paying the price because of his "Second String" comment.~~

Edit

Holyshit.. I heard about this investigation back in 2019 and was under impression that its Jayasuriya lol

No he didn't.

Who cares for Sanath Jayasundara. I never knew about him until today

I am sure many people will be thinking that this news is about the legend Sanath Jayasuriya as most of us only know about this person. It will be better if Sanath Jayasuriya comes on the media and clarifies that that guilty person is not him.

Pakistan and England will play their first ODI match on 8th July. And England got a bad news before the start of the series. 3 players and 4 staff members affected by COVID-19. Finally ECB made Ben Stokes as a captain for the series, also called 9 new players in the squad. Probably it is going to be a tough series for England cricket team. I have checked the odds at several bookmaker and found that the odds are favourable for Pakistan team.

First time hearing this, so they have a leaked tape Cheesy

. Not aware of his personal life but had to search a bit and looks like he messed up a lot after his playing days and entered politics and in 2019 the ICC banned him and now that ban is revoked. He was a great player but leaking them because that lady married someone is silly and i am sure after the sex tape leak he might be single forever Cheesy

.

It is not unusual for cricketers to have mental issues. There is a lot of pressure to perform on the field and sometimes it take a toll. One example that comes to my mind right now is that of Monty Panesar (former England spinner). He suffered from severe schizophrenia and paranoia for many years. But after treatment, he seems to be alright now. Marcus Trescothick, Jonathan Trott and Andrew Flintoff are some of the other cricketers who suffered from mental health issues in the past. Even Virat Kohli once admitted that he struggled with depression in 2014.

Dude, it's Sanath Jayasundara, and not Sanath Jayasuriya. Even I got fooled the first time I saw the news. But then I noticed that in the description there is no reference as the former Sri Lankan captain. Mr. Jayasundara happens to be the former performance analyst for the Sri Lankan team. BTW, did Jayasuriya also made the second string comment? I thought it was just Arjuna Ranatunga. After the Sri Lankan team got thrashed in England, Jayasuriya came up with some scathig comments. But as far as I know, he hasn't spoken about the Indian team that was selected by the BCCI.

Hahaha. As the Sri Lankan players are doing now, I am quite confident that they will lose the series against India's second-string team. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win a single match. India's second-tier team is much better and more experienced than the Sri Lankan national team. Before Ranatunga makes such remarks in the media, he should strengthen his teams and make arrangements to respond harshly to India's insults.

The team that was sent by the BCCI to Sri Lanka includes players such as Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal and Krunal Pandya. I don't know how Ranatunga can label this term as "second string". Is it mandatory that the Indian team should consist of players like Virat Kohli and Mohammad Shami everytime? The SLCB has responded to Ranatunga's claims and they have announced that they are satisfied with the Indian squad. So if the SLCB doesn't have an issue, why Ranatunga is making so much noise?

Sri Lanka needs to somehow find good players when they are playing against India. I recently heard about the comments made by the former Sri Lankan captain but i find it funny because the Sri Lanka batsman are struggling to score runs in the past few series and India sent a full team to England to play the Test series and one team for the ODI and i am expecting India could challenge anyone even with their second string team.

Ranatunga is saying that the BCCI has insulted Sri Lanka by sending a "second string" side. But now another question arises. In case Sri Lanka is unable to secure even a single win against this "second string" side, then what should be interpreted out of this? I think Ranatunga is frustrated because he hasn't got a good job at the moment. The media covered his statements and that might have given him some satisfaction. On the part of BCCI, I think that they did the right decision. Players like Kohli and Rohit are not required for a series against Sri Lanka.

Even with the very few matches being played, India is close to the selected list. So there is nothing big to discuss on the entry. Now the fight is for Srilanka which could've never thought they'll have such a worse situation.

Yeah selectors will keep their eyes open, good oppoutunity for young guys to rank up. Dravid -Future Indian Coach- is also there. For ODI this is updated point table. India also lagging behind but they already qualified for the ODI WC so nothing to worry about i guess? They're experimenting so should be okay.

Like every other team India only played a few matches and the rest of the teams that have higher number of games are in the top of the list and there is nothing to worry because there is plenty of time and more tournaments left and India is a strong team and would easily qualify for any World Cup because they generate the most money, even if they loose all the match i doubt India will be left out Cheesy

^^^ I don't know whether Rahul Dravid will find acceptance with Virat Kohli & Co. Someone like Ravi Shastri is perfect for Kohli. A soft-spoken and mild natured individual such as Dravid may find it tough to coach the current Indian team. BTW, India has already qualified for the 2023 World Cup, so they don't have to worry much about getting the points. Also, India is scheduled to play ODI series against weak teams such as Zimbabwe and Afghanistan during this cycle. It should be relatively easy for them to finish among the top 8.

I have a feeling that Kohli's reign in limited over cricket (not tests) is about to finish in next 1-2 years. May be after T-20 WC this year or may be 2023 ODI WC, he's 32 atm. Shastri's contract is about to finish after T-20 WC and if India lose another ICC tournament then there is high possibility of BCCI not giving him any extension.

Indian team got good mixture of international experience and IPL talent. Players like Dhawan, Chahal, Bhuvi, Yadav, Hardik , Pandey Ji got enough experience under their belt and on the other hand SYK, Prithvi, Paddikal, Gaikwad, Rana, Samson etc already proved themselves in IPL countless times. So chances are high of Indian team winning the series but cricket is game of uncertainty and Sri Lankans got 4-5 good players who can turn things around at home conditions.

The way i look at it both team has enough to gain with this series if they came out as victorious. From Indian point of view, new crop of players would get decent amount of experience, which is necessary and from Sri Lankan's point of view, well they already hit rock bottom of transition so they can only go up from here.

For the younger Indian players, this is one of the rare opportunities to catch the attention of national team selectors ahead of the T20 World Cup in October. Therefore I don't think that they will be complacent. And the implementation of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League means that every match is important now. There is no such thing as a "dead rubber". If Sri Lanka loses the series 0-3, then any chance of finishing within the top 8 will be very small. And now coming to the future prospects of Sri Lanka, I don't have much hope unless they change their Colombo-centric setup.

No i didn't hear this, second string team Grin

poor Indian team, they didn't deserve this lol

Its funny and kinda sad too, i do feel bad for Ranatunga as he led the World Champion team back in the days but it would be better if he wake up from his sleep. His recent statements coming out becaue of frustration IMO, so no one should give much footage to such statements.

Last i remember he was sacked due to corruption charges? Would be better if he and other legends start taking care of cricket in sri lanka instead of involving in politics and corruption.

Imagine what happens when the "second string" Indian team whitewashes them 3-0, and that too in their country. In that case, Sri Lanka should not be playing against India, right? Ranatunga seems to be bitter, because his political career ended prematurely and he seems to be going through "na ghar ka, na ghat ka" phase of his life. He tried hard for a position within the SLCB, but was not successful in securing it. BTW, Sri Lanka is now demoted as the weakest test team in Asia, and even Bangladesh and Afghanistan have overtaken them.

It looks like today is not their lucky day. Play has resumed at Bristol, with Sri Lanka struggling at 141/8. Dushmantha Chameera and Dasun Shanaka are at the crease and England is trying really hard to get the remaining two wickets (there is a sense of urgency now, as it is expected that there will be more rain interruptions later). When a mediocre bowler like Tom Curran dismantles the Sri Lankan batting lineup, you can imagine how horribly they have performed in this series. England is missing more than half a dozen of their regular players, and still they will end up with a 3-0 series win.

It was their lucky day for Sri Lanka as the match was washed out, with that terrible score they were not going to win either way Cheesy

. So their next series will be against India and the match started this month 13th if i am not wrong and i hope we will have a good contest and hopefully the odds will be good as the odds for England was trash.

Hahaha,,, yeah it is a lucky day for Sri Lankan players. I was sure they would lose this match too. And whitewash. They are very lucky because they have not lost all the matches. Bad luck for England. They could have easily scored 167 runs and defeated the Sri Lankan team.
