Good result for the Sri Lankans,Im asumming that is Charma Silva who scored the century?

 

[aussie1st]

Think it could be Kaushal Silva. Sounds like an all round bowling performance from SL A in both inns.

Definitely not, he is playing in the Bangladesh Test series. It was this chap: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/player/50482.html

The Kent v Sri Lanka A game today was abandoned after a heavy thunderstorm just after the start of Kent's Innings.

Kent had fielded a young side that managed to reduce Sri Lanka to 259-8 in their 50 overs. Debutants Iles and Parsons bowled well (27-1 and 41-2 respectively) and Dixey kept well behind the stumps. Slightly odd seeing GoJo in the field though! Min Patel captained the Kent side but did not bowl.

[RoboRocks]

He may actully hold on to a catch that way.

 

[Kev]

He didn't have a lot to do, so its hard to tell if he's any better in the field
