Tillakaratne quits

[Craig]

Very well? If that was so, they could have come close to winning a Test. He just takes 1/2 wickets a match, or 3, then runs out of steam. His batting was pathetic.

Well from what I saw he bowled well and didnt always get the wickets. Blame the batsmen and Tillarakaratne.

Why? They have won so many Tests in so little time, so there is no need to complain. The Lankans, on the other hand, have lost 3 Tests in a row and have just one victory, post World Cup.

Again he has been one of their better batsmen and he did make runs last around.

Maybe you lot can be too fickle.

personally i think the best captain for sl would be sangakkara or jayawardhene(although his place is under serious jeopardy). i dont think attapattu will ever amount to anything great.

The Sangakkara suggestion is interesting. I like the way Sangakkara approaches the game and I reckon he'd make a great leader, but he must give up the gloves to take on that responsibility, and that leaves the Sri Lankan team with one less batsman.

You'd think they'll give it to Atapattu, with Jayawardene next in line (as the current one-day VC), but I hope they're thinking about Sangakkarra - I think he's the sort of bloke who'd lead from the front.

So more 'bits' and more 'pieces' players then?

No, however what you need is a few more lessons in witty sarcasm. Don't worry you'll get there eventually.

Hey hey, back off. I wasnt making fun of you, just a play on words.
