i guess, it's abt time for him .... wondering why is he prolonging his carrer as i don't see him playinng the 2011 WC .... i guess, SL is struggling for an able replacement and thats why he is probably hanging on. if he avg 15 in his last few games, the chances are not many in SL team would be avging even that much
as for the entertainment he brings .... well, even if he retires, the fans can still catch him on IPL playing for Mumbai

The likes of Tharanga and Perera fill you with confidence?

Udawatte should be ahead of both now. But Gunwardene probably would be the best replacement, in terms some sort of consistent performances.

Jayasuriya should retire when he wants to. If that's not no, then no he should not retire.
If he's no longer the best option for the team, then the selectors should drop him. It shouldn't be on his head to decide that.

The word around the place, was that if Jayasuriya had a good ODI series in Australia he would have retired. But due to his poor performance he is thinking about retiring at home. I don't think he will around for much longer.

What about if he wants to decide whether or not he's the best option for the team? What about if he wants to retire instead of being dropped?

Dihan Avishka Gunawardene?
If so, hope he's better than he was last he played ODIs!

Then he should retire. Hence "when he wants".

Yeah a fair bit, probably at the peak of his ability. Might only last for 2-3 years, but his been the best opener in domestic cricket in both forms for the last couple seasons. I don't think he is the long term option, but short term until Udawatte, Nawela, KD Gunawardene and Tharanga sort out their issue. He, Dilshan or Sangakkara are probably the best options.Dihan Avishka Gunawardene?
If so, hope he's better than he was last he played ODIs!
