The next captain?

Who should captain the team for the 2007 World Cup? Does Atapattu still have enough in him? Well, he did win the award for the 'Best One-day captain' in the last ICC awards, but that was before the Indian series wasn't it? Analysing Atapattu's captaincy during the disastrous Indian series, I think he lacks rigour and aggressiveness. He tends to take a somewhat back-foot when daring decisions have to be made. Moreover, relieving Atapattu from his current responsibilities will give him more time to concentrate on his own batting, which we all know can be devasting when he's on song.

Why was Mahela Jayawardena demoted from the Vice-captaincy he was holding strongly? I thought he would have been an obvious choice to succeed Atapattu. The selectors decision to take him down was totally irrational and unjustifiable. He scored many match winning knocks during his tenure and his batting form never sufferred. Chaminda Vaas taking his spot at this point in time can be an indication that he'll be the unanimous choice to step into Atapattu's boots.

What about Sangakkara? For me he looks an ideal candidate, but at the same time the load of responsibilities might just take the toll on him. He's by far the best batsman in the line-up right now, moreover Sanga does an amazing job behind the stumps. Plus, I admire the way he lifts the morale of the guys by his comments from behind the stumps. Putting him on the hot-seat right now might not be the wisest thing to do.

Therefore, my choice is Mahela Jayawardena. A classy batsman with a lot of rigour. I think he's capable of handling pressure extremely well and has substanbtial leadership qualities on and off the field.

    I think Kumar Sangakkara will do a better job than Marvan Attaputtu

    I feel next captaincy should go to mahela. He is the ideal person for the Job. It’s too early for sangakkara to become the capatin. Should give him some time to settle. Otherwise ur dumping all the responsibility on his shoulders. Also he is not that matured enough to lead the team.

    Right Now I think SL should be looking at a Leader who can bring the Team morale up.. some one who will lead from the front.. not just someone who is resting on his past achievements..

    Hello,
    I don't know you but I love everything that is new and at the present time it seems to me impossible to stay without.
    The appliabces that I love the most are the technological things that I can put in my bag. As you can imagine my mobile phone is really important in my daily life.
    I can't resist to a new samsung ringtone. I get tired of a new one quickly so I want a new one, immediately. The good part is I'm a student so my parents pay for them and further to make a monthly account is not difficult.
    Now I have to go.
    Bye Bye
    Michelle.
