The Murali End – Details, episodes & analysis

The Gary Kirsten era has officially begun with a statement win! We’re breaking down the tactical masterclass, that incredible Kamindu Mendis catch, and the fitness revolution transforming Sri Lanka cricket.

In this deep-dive review, Mark and Nick analyse Sri Lanka’s clinical performance against the West Indies in the 1st ODI. We discuss the shocking decision to open with Kamindu Mendis, Kusal Mendis’s evolving captaincy style, and the "pace battery" led by a hungry Dushmantha Chameera. From pitch conditions at Sabina Park to the middle-order stability provided by Janith Liyanage, this is your comprehensive guide to the new look of Sri Lankan cricket. 

Was Kamindu Mendis opening the batting a stroke of genius or just a one-off experiment? Let us know your thoughts on the "New Era" tactics in the comments below!
