I am not a cricketer. But  I enjoy seeing our boys winning the game as it brings a good name and fame for the country and also lots of money for the boys as well as the country.

But looking at the historic tragic end on the 17th  I am thoroughly disappointed. When they won the toss I was very happy as I thought they would ask India to bat first as the ground was wet. But the captain decided otherwise. I do not know whether he consulted his team mates and the coach.Any way now the match is over the management must take immediate steps to reverse this mistake at least in future.   If the decision to bat first was taken by the Captain on his own then he should be sacked immediately because he is the one who is responsible for this tragedy. As for me apart from his dismal failure in batting,  I also have not seen any leadership qualities in him.His personality is almost bill. Just think of Arjuna as a leader.

Looking at the team even on the screen. I think the management should replace him with some one like Kusal Mendis and appoint either  that all rounder  bearded boy who was absent in this serie  who did very well during the elimination series  or Maheesh Theekshana  who clicked 6 from the  last 2  balls that became the critical factor in the win over Pakistan to avoid  this kind of  mistakes at least in future
