HIAC 2012 wasn't the best PPV for the year, but it was certainly compelling. After watching the PPV, most of the IWC pointed out that the HIAC gimmick stipulation was only used once. This was very disappointing because since it's a gimmick PPV, they needed to make the most of the stipulation by using the structure to it's potential.

That wasn't the case last year because Ryback vs Punk was only used for it. I just hope both World title matches get it by default. Whats the point of a gimmick PPV if the gimmick is only used once?

What should happen IMO?

Ryback vs Punk (2012 rematch from the same PPV. Let's end this feud the way it began. It's the same match by Punk is a face and Ryback is a heel.) I'm hoping WWE uses this to add some drama and excitement because this story has become a drag for last fortnight.

Bryan vs Orton:

Needs to happen in the cell to end the feud once and for all. These two can really put on a show, just as we witnessed at NOC and abruptly ended at Battleground. What this feud needs is a no interference situation and a huge payoff and HIAC is the place to do it.

Del Rio vs Christian:

Hell in a Cell. Christian is rumoured to be the next challenger.

I don't know about you guys but what do you see in ADR? If he doesn't have both character and in ring skills, then he can't cut it as a champion. Cena can connect with the audience. So can people like Sheamus, Cena, Bryan, Punk, Orton, Ziggler, Christian, Miz (heel) or even Big Show.

Del Rio is being spoon fed championship after championship, but why? He's won the Royal Rumble, MITB but for what reason? I can't fathom the fact that he isn't champion material, yet WWE have allowed him to grab the brass ring SO EARLY.

Daniel Bryan is soo much better and has been in the WWE for longer, but only has 2 World Championship reigns. This tells the sad story that Del Rio is wasting someone else's worth chance of gaining the gold.

Do you think Kusal Janith Perera should make the starting XI for RR?

He is known to be aggressive and provide fast starts to his team.

25 Sri Lanka A v NZ A Dambulla 3 Oct 2013 LA

65 Sri Lanka A v NZ A Pallekele 1 Oct 2013 LA

51 Sri Lanka A v NZ A Pallekele 29 Sep 2013 LA

0, 55 Sri Lanka A v NZ A Dambulla 23 Sep 2013 FC

2, 147

His past five scores in the last month shows he's in great form, so RR should want to bank on this. However, in T20s, he's not known to play finish the innings, which is something he could improve on by adjusting his shot selection to the situation.

You have:

Point

cover

extra cover

mid off

long on

deep square leg

short fine leg

Type of delivery:

Slow Left Arm

Description:

The ball is floated, at 51MPH, lands on off stump, turns way with moderate spin. The length it lands on is a touch fuller than a good length so it's quite fullish.

Once a country wins a final, that team could be hated by other fans. Which country do you think will get the least amount of hate after winning the world cup?

WWE Championship:

Orton vs Daniel Bryan (Daniel Bryan wins by DQ due to interference from .....Shane McMahon who doesn't like how things are run) Reports on WrestleZone show that he's given us a high end position from the company he was privately working at so he's free for now. Sets up Mcmahon vs Mcmahon on Raw or next PPV)

WHC Championship:

ADR vs RVD (RVD wins clean but then gets double crossed by Rodriguez) Leading to a heel turn back to his normal self, resulting in ADR vs RVD at next PPV

US Title:

Ambrose vs Dolph Ziggler (ladder match - brings excitement and importance to the title)

CM Punk vs Curtis Axel only (No Holds Barred) (Punk gets what he wants at the end of the day and then proceed to join forces with Shane next night on Raw)

Divas Title:

AJ Lee vs Three Others with a gimmick to make the title seem important (trying not use gimmicks here but I think one is needed after the show that was put on last Raw- match wasn't good before the beatdown.)

WWE Tag Team Titles:

Prime Time Player vs Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

Big Show vs HHH (HHH needs to teach Show a lesson after getting loose and clearing ring on Go Home Raw.) HHH wins after knocking Show out cold

I need some quite badly. Plus a BQ: Who is your favourite wicket keeper that is not from your country?

What if Bryan turned heel before Wrestlemania, joined Paul Heyman and took on CM Punk for the title at WM30?

Undertaker, HHH (having gone a face turn around Royal Rumble) and Kane vs Shield - Taker and Kane getting revenge for being attacked back in the Summer and HHH is in this feud, because Shield have double-crossed the COO.

CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan for WWE Champhionship - a match that every member of the IWC would get orjasms over.

Brock Lesnar vs Sheamus - This is turned into a personal feud once Lesnar returned attacked the Celtic Warrior. This match is designed to put Sheamus over as a face in this company.

Dolph Ziggler vs Damian Sandow for WHC

Wade Barrett(face turn) vs Curtis Axel for IC Championship

Bray Wyatt vs RVD for Intercontinental Championship

Antonio Cesaro vs Big Show in a steel cage.

So guys, what 15 man squad would you pick for this winter tour? You can select either a Pakistani or Sri Lankan squad.

Mine would be:

Angelo 'ordinary' Mathews

Dinesh "compelling' Chandimal

Kumar 'Gonga' Sangakarra (We all this series is just going to come down to Sanga vs Pak)

Mahela 'slick' Jayawardene

Tharindu 'Unknown' Kusal (19 year old spin sensation with a lot of variations like Akila Dhananjaya)

Tilekerante "Dilly' Dilshan

Nuwan 'Killah' Kulasekera

Lahiru 'ball eater' Thirumanne

Suranga 'lanky' Lakmal

Shaminda 'Erratic' Eranga

Chanaka Welegedera

Prasanna Jayawardene

Tharanga Paranavitana

Rangana 'sexy' Herath

Kusal 'Sanath' Perera

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/ba...

He's got an average of about 74 with a 92 strike rate. His highlights include a 169 against SA earlier this month, a century in which he chased down 290+ against Eng in a key match where critics thought we wouldn't chase it down. He also was the only one that put on a decent total against India in the tri-series final where we lost at the hands of Dhoni by only 1 wicket.

He's hit a purple patch this year, I just hope he keeps it till the Pakistan tour, where it'll just come down to Sanga vs Pak.

For opening combination I'd keep Mahela and Tharanga till the end of the series. If it works out, drop everyone down one place, but put Kusal Perera at 3. When Dilly comes back, he can go back to middle order. It's time that we build towards the next world cup, so giving the youngsters a chance is imperative.

For next series against SA,

Tharanga

Mahela

Kusal

Sanga

Chandimal

Dilshan

Mathews

Perera

Senanayake

Kulasekera

Malinga

We have the successful opening pair of Tharanga+Mahela , the aggression of Kusal and he wont have any pressure, because he's knows he has a cushion in the form of Sanga to back on. Then Dilly comes in at end to deliver the slogs.

Then bring Eranga is if it's Hambantota swinging pitch. I've dropped Herath because he isn't a match winner. He only picks up a wicket or two every game he has, Senanayake has more control and a lot of variation, which is great for LO cricket. Let Herath lead our test attack for now, so we can give chances to guys like Akila Dhananjaya and Tharindu Kausal.

I'd take Thirumanne out and just use him for tests. He's a gifted batsman, but let him start at the top level first, it'll give him the confidence and skills to play in ODIs, where his stroke play will also suit.

349 is a formidable target, but Mali and Kula are known to getting smacked by Indians so I'm worried that might turn against us. With Indian batting looking strong, they are capable of chasing this target down. However, Senanayake is playing today after long comeback, even after a great IPL, will he play a role with his variations or will India play his spin with ease as they normally do with spin?
