Sri Lanka Cricket captain Angelo Mathews has been banned for two One Day Internationals after the team was found guilty of a slow over rate in yesterday’s final against India.

Sri Lanka Cricket confirmed that the Lankan captain was found guilty of the offence and will therefore miss the first two matches against South Africa in the upcoming series set to begin shortly.

Sad to say.According to my knowledge ,worst ever captain ever we had. I think he is big headed. Otherwise why did he employ inexperienced bowler to bowl last over to the most experienced Indian batmen?

good news for SL team because mattews is not a good captian becasue he does not know how to use is bowlers.he have lack of ideas in middle so pls change the captain in the SRI LANKAN team then only our cricket team will win the matches. after mattews become as captain of SL team didnt win a match because of mattews tactics. he doesnt know how suffle the bowlers in slog overs. thats why pls pls change the captain

Exactly, DL formula no where near reality, put India in finals. Miscalculations ultimately in SA's favour. SL draging and destined to sail without captain in all aspects and departments......!

I think the person who balled final over in the tri nation cup should be banned, not Angelo.

It is like Angelo being gored by a bull after he fell from the tree, (like a slip between his lip and the Celkon cup).

The word 'Banned' is too harsh. 'Prevented' should be better if Cricket is a Gentleman's sport.. Angelo is a Gentleman. Whenever he gets a wicket ,he is moderate in celebration unlike so many other Cricketers who show a lot of anger when they get a wicket.

Chandimal should be kicked out of the team. He kept off the IPL to fine tune his batting and it has worked the opposite.
Mahela should captain in the interim.
Even Angelo cannot emulate the former captains. The best captain was Arjuna who turned things around and did much for Sri Lanka cricket.

Kumar Saturday, 13 July 2013 06:26 AM

Angelo is a all-rounder but not suitable to be a caption to srilanka. His brain is not capable to play the caption role but good model. Experiance is allways with Mahela. Capt Dilshan and vicecapt Tharanga is better than Mathews (X-pune caption) ,chanthimal role.

Ane Anichan Saturday, 13 July 2013 07:59 AM

For the reason of slow over rate, Bravo was penalied for one match whereas Angelo for two. Why this discrepancy?

0 4

Sammy Saturday, 13 July 2013 08:27 AM

This is what happens when there are ex-captains in the team. They would want to give there advise too often and thereby delay the process. Also, Angelo may need to be more assertive but with ex-captains and senior players being around it makes the job a bit difficult. The senior players are invaluable though.

Angelo is destined to be a great SL captain for sure. We may need Mahela or Sanga to captain the team in his absence as Chandimal may be selected only on sympathy for the matches.

Sorry to hear.Our second order batting and our Bowlers should contribute to score runs.
Also our team has to mentally prepare when batting. Good luck.

Ahamed Deen Friday, 12 July 2013 12:05 PM

The selection was very poor by the selectors who left out Thisara Perera. The final match missed Sachithra Senanayake. They should have included Sachithra instead of Kushal Perera. If Kushal to be played, he should be opening the innings or of an early dismissal of an opener, he should have been played one down. In this case he should be included at the expense of Thirimana or Chandimal. India has bowling all rounders as, Jadeja, Raina, Rohit Sharma. Mathews should consider him as a batsmen and always we should have 5 bowlers. Sachithra would have been more than useful and hats off to Dhoni how he concealed the tail and braught the victory to India. You cannot play down as luck favours him and yesterday was complete perseverance from him to win the match

Well, it's time for Rambukwela's son's turn to Captain the Lankan team.

Mahela Friday, 12 July 2013 04:03 PM

Our second tier batting including the Bowlers never contributed as batsmen. This is the difference between our team and India. More batting practice needed for our bowlers. Also there should be more cordination between the two batsmen and a better game plan needed to score more runs without getting out.
