I was saying in my previous post, Dimuth Karuanratne must
bat at least one and a half session and resilience would be the key to Sri
Lanka's victory in this Test match. Thankfully, Dimuth did just what the doctor
ordered and carried his knock further until the risk of collapse was not
evident anymore.
A brilliant hundred in the fourth innings hinted, he is one
hell of a tough nut like Rahul Dravid and Graeme Smith in the fourth innings of
a Test match. He averages 40 right now in fourth innings of a Test and his
determination indicates, this average would improve.
Dimuth led from the front and so far, his appointment as the
captain is proving right. Amid the celebrations and expert opinions, the name
Chandika Hathrusingha would be forgotten.
He has put faith in Dimuth, Trying bring back Thirimanne,
teaching Dickwella to control his excitements, injected talents like Oshada and
Avhiska Fernando and Lasith Embuldeniya; transformed Dhanajaya de Silva into an effective spinner who is able to bat as a floater in any positions, Isuru Udana
steps up to give his best.
Sri Lanka needed to have faith in Chandika.
Thank You
