Sanath Jayasuriya reads this blog

He must do – it was but a week or so ago that I was airing my confusion over who was playing where and what, and lo and behold, former, well, ex-former-now-present Sri Lankan stalwart Jayasuriya is back in the Sri Lankan test squad. Fortunately, it’s not just me whose confused – it seems most of the Sri Lankan management, and the journalists reporting the story are as well.

(Although there’s a hint of Brian Lara is captain about this. In fact, there’s a hint of the tactic that England had for many years, but seem to have grown out of – if you start losing, bring back the old faithfuls. A little different in this case, but at 36, how much longer can his career really go on for?)
