Mahela Jayawardena retires from tests

[YorksLanka]

Today saw the retirement of Mahela from tests and I wanted to say thanks for the memories and carrying the responsibility of your nation for such a long time.A decent guy and generally a very good role model too.He will be missed by cricket in general but especially by us Sri Lankan fans. I was privileged to be at the SSC to see his last match so feeling blessed.

Well played Mahela. Been a brilliant player to watch and a genuine all-round good bloke to boot.

Top player. Great career. Was good enough for me to forgive an irritating voice.

Congrats on a top career Mahela. One of Sri Lanka's best, and a quality servant of the game.

Will be almost impossible to replace. They need to hope Sanga stays a while yet.
