Foolish to say that Malinga is incapable. I think he was responsible for SL enter finals by bowling tight dead overs where they won. Two bad matches can't be justified for a bowler. Never judge a bowler on batting pitches. Batting pitches are made for batsmen and not bowlers.
I request aussie pitchmen to stick to their bowling pitches because I like a very tight match with 220 runs to chase rather than boring flat pitches where even tailenders can chase out 320 odd runs
In the same position, our man would have criticized his bowler in press meet, further destroying his confidence, unless of course if the player in question was a Jadeja, Ashwin or a Raina.
Dhoni needs to take lessons in captaincy and accountability from Mahela.

Exactly. Kohli completely demystified the slinger. Not that Malinga was bowling bad as Jaywardene would like everyone to believe. Kohli in that match was sending Malinga's stock ball - the toe crushing yorkers to the square leg fence. Now we will see more and more teams play Maling with relative ease. India did the same to once "mystery bowler" Ajantha Mendis and he is now finding it hard to break into the playing eleven.

How is it relevant? The comment is regarding Malinga's impotency. Is there a rule that a comparison to someone else's incompetency and justify Malinga's poor performance?
