Self Beliefakara

As I feared, the man has started his rants.

Just that this time character is replaced by self belief.

"There's a lot to be taken out of the way we played these games," he said. "It's fantastic. We played the way we believed we could coming here. It was just a case of us fighting to convert every opportunity and tonight I thought it was a great all-round performance."

It means a lot," he said. "This is a stage we always wanted to get to where everyone does what is asked of them and you can't ask any more of the players. They have grown in stature and self-belief. Sri Lankan cricket seems to be in really good hands going forward

So what have they done really?

Just won 2 games on trot against a struggling Australian side that has half of its energy diverted to Ashes and the other half on who's going to be the Australian captain. How seriously they are viewing this series is evident from te fact that Ponting is taken out of the ODI side to play in a Shield game to prepare for Ashes.

And  the Nanga is going gung ho on a win against depleted side.

They have won 1 T20 and 2 ODIs. Thats it. They have not won a Test series or a single Test in Australia. So whats the hype and noise all about?

Why do we find only this guy shouting out loud in the media ? No other captain speaks as much as he does. Not even Afridi or a Ponting, He has got a fetish for the chirpy and vogue statements in the media. He makes it and makes an ass of himself.

West Indies would be blanked 0-3 and 0-2(3) in the ODI series and Test series back their home, thanks to the depletion they suffer from. Yet he would come out with how good the victory was.

Open cricinfo and his pig sized face would be up in the front climbing Sydney harbor or poking a tuchyap smile. Loser!!
