On the appointment of Tillekeratne as SriLankan skipper
by G.Ramkumar on Apr 18, 2003 12:00 PM

I personally feel that SriLanka are going nowhere at present.With due respects to Tillekeratne I feel Kumar Sangakkara would have made a better captain.Hasan is 36 and isn't likely to continue much longer.SriLanka need an attitude change which can be provided only by Sangakkara as he displayed during the test series againt South Africa.They have to stop their over dependence on a few stars like Jayasuriya,Vaas &Murali if they have to progress.

good move

kudos to the srilankan selectors for appointing tilekratne as the test captain.he is a talented player and had to be in the shadows of aravinda and jaysurya through out his carrer.he is definitely getting older,but he can do his best to revamp the team and hand over the reins to a younger player later.how i wish that the indian selectors had some wisdom in pursuing the services of a great player called robinsingh.

I feel sorry for Bangladesh. They just need one international win, no matter against which team!
