That is what we will be playing this year.
As a rookie in the team, I have no idea what the standards are to begin with, but if the rumours are true then Grade 2 will be quite the little test of character .

I don’t like the new Dilshan.
Where is the dude that struggled for runs and looked like he was always going to offer us more than he delivered.
Now its all scooping and 100s.
Too predictable in my book. It used to be quick fire 30s and then some spectacular run out or something. Now its just mindless [...]

As you may, or may not have, noticed we have been pretty crap at being up to date around these parts.
We have struggled to strike a proper balance between work-life and cricket. If we had it our way it would only be cricket that would need the [...]

-Its confusing, for the fan - there you are sitting back and enjoying a nice 2020 game [...]

Something weird is happening to Kumar Sangakkara.
When he was given the captaincy everyone was expecting SL to turn into some kind of mini-Australians. Hard, aggressive, and a win at all costs attitude was what most of us thought King Kumar would bring to the table.
Mahela was a good captain but a lot of people, us [...]
