Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain

[Bumper]

60 runs to get, 8 wickets in hand, the guy bowls part timers with spread field :wall: But he does seem to pass the checklist for a great captain: 1) Choke against all big opponents --> CHECK 2) Bash the minnows --> CHECK 3) Clueless bowling changes --> CHECK 4) Better defend than attack --> CHECK 5) Good interviews --> CHECK

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain I cant believe the hype that surrounds Mahela's captaincy. WTF has he done noteworthy ?

2) Bash the minnows --> CHECK

exactly. :shrug: he is just an ordinary captain like many out there.

[kumble_rocks]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain Good to see posters acknowledge India as a minnow team.

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain right now he should bowl out Murli..instead he has Jayasuriya bowling..its known fact the Kemp struggles against quality spin...

[DesiChap]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain He is saving Murali for the next game :shrug:

[DesiChap]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain Kemp gone stumped off Jayasurya

[kabira]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain still he persists with Jayasuriya...bring Murli...bowl Malinga and Murli in tandem..thats their only chance..taking wickets..

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain for those who think jaya isnt a good captain, just compare this team to that which lost to India in 2005

[Bumper]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain Am so glad SL lost. I cant stand the hype around Mahela Jayawardane's captaincy. What a retarded door knob. If only he had brought Malinga & Murali earlier on, instead of letting the Saffies milk the bowling at will

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain Bumper, he almost defended 209. What did we do with 190 against a lesser opponent?

[Bumper]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain Who defended 209 ? Mahela ? 4 wickets in 4 balls made it look so close. At the 45 over mark, SA were 206/5, needing 5 runs to win. The pressure should have been applied when SA needed 80 runs to win, not in the last 5 overs. IMO, Mahela's blunder cost them this win.

I think he is better than Dravid.

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain I do not think he is any better than Dravid. He was just plain lucky there thanks the some awesome bowling by the blonde chucker.

[gator]

Re: Mahela Jayawardane is a great captain If Dravid had a malinga and a licensed chucker like Murali, he would have looked brilliant.... this guy is on the offence so much, and he doesnt have the bowlers to back it up..... on the other hand, Jayawardane wouldnt last a minute with indian bowlers...
