What are your thaughts?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

He's handled the captaincy better than most (without letting his own game suffer) since Arjuna Ranatunge. I think given some time and support he'll pull the whole team through!

Answer 3

Mahela is perfect and he is doing his duty perfectly.

But players like Chamara Silva, Farveez Maharoof, Chamara Kapugedera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Thilan Thushara, Nuwan Kulasekara and few more others are the ones who should be kicked off from the team for all their poor performance and for doing nothing to the team.

No body is good in the current SL squad, and no body is even capable of handling pressure like Mahela Jayawerdena in the team.

As far as i know; among the youngsters, Mahela is a first class player, and he is the only talented player in the team after Sangakkara, not even the oldies like Sanath, Vaas & Murali.

Who do you think they would give the captainship if they axed Mahela off from that place? do you think Chamara Silva, Dilshan or Malinga can handle or lead the team?

HAHAHAHAH!

No way!

First of all, they are just new to the international frame, they have got allot more to learn and face, they are irresponsible and still struggling to do their duties well.

So in my opinion, Mahela is perfectly perfect!

He is doing his duties well, he is a STAR for Srilanka.

We have talented players, but they all lack class in them.

The selctors are also responsible for all the loss SL team has been facing so far, cus if they are not gready for money and if they had selected those poor and fantsatic under19 team players who are waiting for an oppurtunity to play for their country, then today we would have won the CB series and also the Digicell series in a elakiri way.

And another thing, those articles provided by the media are just nonesense, they are all created by brainless politicians in our country who are gready for money.

Answer 4

no plz they should not do it.as i think mahela is a good captain.he can take the best from the players.

he should be captain atleast till the next world cup.

Answer 5

NO, he is a great captain...theres no need to question his captaincy.

Answer 6

no he is such a nice captain ,

i think the sri lankan people should support him ,i haveseen him for last 7 years and he has been such a good fine for sri lanka ,i dont think he should be treated in that way ,even the great murli can't captain the side

just because they lost one series against WI doesnt mean his captaincy is not good

Answer 7

He is a fine find for the Lankans and the right man for the job after Ranatunga he is lead the team well.

In times you got to back your skipper and the press should stop bitching and stand by the young Lion.
