A narcotic called Sanath
In the last four years, Jayasuriya has been part of 58 victories - averaging almost 41 with the bat. In the 37 losses that he has been part of in the same period, he has averaged 23. This statistic speaks volumes about the Lankan dependence on this fisherman-cum-boxer-turned-spinner-cum-opening mauler. (In the last four years, there is no significant difference in Sachin's averages in winning and losing causes). With Sri Lanka nowhere close to unearthing someone who can give a sense of familairity at the top of the order, his impending retirement poses a few questions of Jayawardene and the "nearly-there" man, the great tragic, Kumar Sangakkara.

Kumar is ready.
Kumar and Jayawardene just aint't enough, man. Chamara and Dilshan need to make that step up. Otherwise, Sri Lanka should brace for a few years of mediocrity.
Sri Lanka is a funny team. They are going back to the erraticaly talented ways prior to '96.
But the seamers aren't too bad, are they?
