When Fernando burst onto the international scene,
young and raw, he soon inspired hope that he would be the long-term
replacement for Chaminda Vaas as the cutting edge of the pace
attack. He has natural pace - six months after his debut he was
timed at 91.9 mph in Durban - hits the pitch hard and moves the ball
off the seam. During the early years he paid for his inconsistent
line and length, but then worked hard with Rumesh Ratnayake in the
Fast Bowling Unit and became more reliable. He also learnt the art
of reverse swing and developed a well-disguised slower ball. His
career, though, has been plagued with injury. He suffered his second
stress fracture of the back in 12 months in January 2004 and missed
the entire home series against Australia. However, he has now been
slowly nursed back to full fitness and after playing for Sri Lanka A
in New Zealand, he has won his place back in the squad.
