* [size=14pt]Watch and see the respect, the praise, and the accolades Mahela Jayawardene will receive from his teammates and compatriots.[/size]
* The great Brian Lara was treated like a common criminal by the WICB----not given a proper send off---they stripped him of his beloved captaincy----that pis$ed him off----and he quit.

Put the politics aside and it's patently obvious that Mahela is a great player.
He once played a cover drive during an ODI a few years back and the commentator, Bob Willis, said it was Rohan Kanhaiesque. 8)
You can't receive a better compliment than that folks. 8)

* [size=14pt]That's right! The numbers don't lie---and Mahela has put up some great numbers----11,493 runs @ 50.18[/size]
* But like most great performers, Mahela has underperformed against some opponents---he averaged 33.41 in 16 tests versus Australia and surprisingly he averaged 32.17 in 27 tests against Pakistan.
* Jayawardene will be playing his last 2 tests against Pakistan---and before that 2 tests against #2 ranked South Africa.
* Hopefully Jayawardene's overall average doesn't dip below 50.
