HASHIM AMLA: Failed With The Bat First Game As Captain

Not only did Hashim Amla fail with the bat(11 &22), but he is in danger of losing his first test as captain. Did he declare too early ?

http://www.espncricinfo.com/inline/content/image/501588.html?alt=1

* Sri Lanka needs 260 to win with 9 wickets in hand.

* Amla set Sri Lanka a 370 target.

* Sri lanka 110/1---the prolific Sangakkara(58*) at the wicket.

* Will Steyn, Morkel and Philander save captain Amla from embarrassment ?

* NZ captain McCullum was recently rewarded for his boldness----declaring overnight and setting WI a 306 target.

* It will be a huge surprise if Sri Lanka were to pull off a victory.

* But keep in mind---the Lankans have not lost a test series in Lanka since 2006.

CORRECTION:

* Just checked---SL has lost only 1 test series in Lanka since 2006.

* When a captain has 2 bowlers ranked in the Top 3 in the world he can declare with confidence.

* Steyn is the #1 ranked bowler in the world.

* Philander is the #3 ranked test bowler in the world.

www.relianceiccrankings.com/ranking/test/bowling/

* The Lankans folded like a cheap tent----188/2 to 216 all out.

* Congrats to Hashim Amla on his first test win.

* But his batting was ordinary---11 & 22

* Amla scored 11 and 22 in the first test against Sri Lanka.

* As stated above---Amla was ranked #3 according to the ICC ratings----going into the first test.

* THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE AMLA WILL DROP TO #4----maybe #5

* Keep an eye on the ICC Rankings in the link----it will be updated soon.

LanceKraigg’s time is up. He has never truly moved on as a player. Despite being captain and senior batsmen we will lose nothing with investing in a rookie.

AdrianDarren Bravo had a remarkable 2020 cricket season, showcasing his skills and talent on the field. His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable.
