Gift horse
When a team is down, keep them there. When you are riding high, don’t trip on your shoelaces.
I can understand the value of experimentation, but did we have to rest three of our best performing players, and gift Sri Lanka the match, and much-needed confidence? Couldn’t we have rested a player each in the remaining three matches?
Here was a team completely demoralised by four consecutive losses and instead of rubbing it in, we get into experimentation mode.
Did they forget that a Test series is coming up against the same team?
