Wisden overview
Short and skiddy, Charitha Buddika (or Buddika Fernando) generates lively
pace and handy away-movement from a spindly frame. He made a triumphant ODI
debut in October 2001, against Zimbabwe at Sharjah. After opening his
account with two no-balls, he took a wicket with his first legitimate
delivery. Four more followed, and he finished with 5 for 67, the second-best
figures by a Sri Lankan on ODI debut, and the fourth best of all time. He
soon secured a place in the Test team and toured England in 2002. But after
nine Tests (18 wickets @ 44) and 17 ODIs, he was dropped after some
inconsistent performances. Remains on the fringes though, and could develop
into a useful lower order allrounder with four first-class fifties to his
name.(Charlie Austin)
