New Sri Lanka coach announced

It's the Australian Trevor Bayliss as you can read about on Cricinfo. Bayliss has previously been head coach of New South Wales.

The Sri Lankan board have done well here I think. In Moody and Bayliss they have now twice gone for relatively young up and coming coaches rather than looking at guys who feel they have already been there and done that and, I assume, demand more money. It will be interesting to see if Bayliss can continue where Moody left off....

It will also be interesting to see the reaction of the Indian public when they see that their neighbours can recruit a good coach with a minimum of fuss...
