maharoof's batting skills make him more valuable, its probably as valuable as a pathan for india. i dont see big hitters in the lankan ODI side except maharoof and kapugedera and that's what mattered in keeping them under 240 where i thought after that partnership between sangy and jayawardene, 250+ was very much on the cards. i thought sangy and mahela played too slowly for quite sometime. amerasinghe really needs more variations, fernando is a terrific ODI bowler but yeah doesn't cut it in the test side. but realistically speaking all of amerasinghe's wickets were coz of poor shot selection by batsmen. malinga yes a true match winner in both formats.
