By the way Zorax, asking if he was a bowler after the clue probably wasn't the smartest move.
 
I know. I just don't know any Sri Lankan coaches! So I'm trying to go the 1000 runs/wickets route :p

Still could be a chance I'm right he did captian his team internationally and in under 50 ODI since he didn't play any.

Ohh no I just check, he's not a right hander. :(

Clue: Stumped? Think of a coach.

The answer is: Pubudu Dassanayake.

Wicket-keeper who played 11 Tests and 16 ODIs for Sri Lanka in the mid 90s. Later played for Canada in 2005 and 2006, captaining them on two occasions. Note that I never said he captained Sri Lanka! He now coaches Canada.

Got another one for you now, ask away!
