The Master Craftsman

Mahela Jayawardene

The Master Craftsman finally produced a masterpiece yesterday at the Rangiri Dambulla stadium. Mahela Jayawardene makes batting look astonishingly elegant. A mystery why he is the underachiever he is. Not for nothing do the ones who really know him talk about him in the same breath as the great Aravinda Desilva. He is one of those rare Sri Lankan batsmen these days who do not frustrate me to death by their clinical and at times artless performances.

Lots of praise for Jayawardene all over the media today - surprisingly quiet in the blogosphere though.

As far the Indian team's performance I think it is a real royal mess and I'm really not in the mood to comment on it right now ...
