Lanka Premier League - General Discussions

[Bevab]

They finally managed to sort the mess out just in time for their usual start?

Wow. The studio stuff is something else.

 

[Aislabie]

The absolute state of a league where all five teams have the same team colour.

Also, the sheer amount of withdrawals according to the Wikipedia squad list (yeah I'm lazy) is amazing:

• Dwaine Pretorius
• Asif Ali
• Fazalhaq Farooqi
• Nuwan Pradeep
• Ben Cutting
• D'Arcy Short
• Sandeep Lamichhane
• Tim Siefert
• Sheldon Cottrell
• Sarfaraz Ahmed
• Danushka Gunalathika
• Faheem Ashraf
• Janneman Malan
• Sherfane Rutherford
• Hardus Viljoen
• Evin Lewis
• Shahnawaz Dahani
• Tristan Stubbs
• Jimmy Neesham
• Chris Green
• Dewald Brevis
• Matheesha Pathirana
• Usman Shinwari
• Ahmed Daniyal

There are all sorts of reasons behind those withdrawals too, including one or two distinctly unpleasant ones

I can only name five, and all for the same reason (Green, Short, Cutting, Fazalhaq and Neesham have BBL commitments that made them unavailable after the tournament was rescheduled).

Edit to self: oh yeah, and one of the distinctly unpleasant ones

Faheem and Sarfaraz are in the test squad for Pakistan. And I definitely saw Nuwan Pradeep bowling the other day.

Dambulla are 54 for 7 after 6 overs.

Turns out I'm watching a match from yesterday
