Were we not good enough? Afghan game review

Finally we won a game. As I saw on social media and on many one to one chats , many were not that much pleased. There were talk about three missed boundaries given away by Afghans and etc..  But I would say we need to appreciate the victory and look forward. By all means it is a very good victory. Afghans are by no means are minnows now specially when it comes to T20 cricket. The gap can be minimum between full member side and minnow side in T20 simply because minnows has to concentrate only for 40 overs rather that 100 overs or longer version of the game. Even in life you can't judge a person by short period of time right? So guys we need to cut some slack for our boys. The victory is a very good one. Why I say that is we didn't look rattled like in UAE game in asia cup. We played the cricket the way we used to play except for Malinga yokers. Batting after some time looked pretty good , Angelo finally looked like hitting his form even with the late end cameo which is good

Should Thisara play at all?

it's not the best time to be Sri Lankan fan but then again it's the time you have to face reality. We are not doing good , honestly worse. So will write up my share just to let the frustration out. We are used to be a side who always flying under the radar and punch above their weight. Seems like its not going to happen any more. Today is the our first game against Afghans which by any means not going to be easy. They are a confident unit and smell the blood of wounded loin. So why not finish it off. More interestingly the match is between #8 and #9 ranked sides and if we can win this it should be enough for me. I expect nothing more at this stage. We  have been bashing, cursing and bringing up various opinions on social media. At least that is all we have lefts to do. There are many reasons for our failing as they say and you can find even more. There are few things that comes to my mind. We do not respect basic rules of the game  Cricket or any other sport today ha
