Profile
Bandaratilleke made a instant impact in his debut series against
New Zealand at home. His left arm orthodox slow bowling provided
the perfect support for Muttiah Muralitharan. Bandatatilleke
pushed the ball through and hit the wicket hard. He took
advantage of a poor Galle wicket to capture the match figures of
9/82 in only his second Test match. In all Bandaratilleke
captured sixteen wickets in the series. However, he had a minor
impact on the following tour to England, playing only two tour
matches. Reinstated for Sri Lanka's second Asian Test
Championship maych against Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium, he
bowled tidily taking 3 wickets in the drawn Test. Somewhat
surprisingly ignored by the selectors since, Bandaratilleke was
not selected in the initial squad for the home series against the
Australian side. (Johann Jayasekera, benj@primus.com.au)
