Mahela talks pure shit

Mahela Jayawardne's statements are pure shit drivel.
The ability to speak pure drivel in the guise of wisdom never ceases to amaze me. You can be sure that a 'winning' Captain will talk profoundly about roles, areas, weaknesses, plans and implementation. In addition he will put in a word about it being a 'team' victory.
Among the current lot Mahela Jayawardne, the Sri Lankan Captain, takes the cake. His ability to say utter nonsense is unsurpassed.
The just concluded India - Test series provided him with a lot of opportunities. However, he will struggle to surpass this:
"For us it is a team game. We are not worried what Mendis will do out there. He is just an individual in our team unit and he is going to execute a game plan, that's what we want him to do. Whether he picks up the wickets or whether he is going to make impact we're not worried about it."
If you consider this statement in the light of the fact that Sri Lanka piggy- backed on the skill of Mendis to win the Test series, surely, you will agree that it is pure drivel.

This kind of market driven drivel has become a feature of modern day cricket. The rival captains now comment abt other teams selections.
