Chairman of Selectors

When I first heard Sanath Jayasuriya was appointed as the chairman of selectors of Sri Lankan cricket, I shook my head partly in disbelief and partly in disappointment. Sanath was a great cricketer (in his day). But he seems to have now turned into this horrible politician who is intend on meddling in the one sport we are good at. What if he selects himself into the team?

But then I read this wonderful blog by Andrew Hughes on cricinfo.

Andrew is right. Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise. Better to screw-up cricket than the country's economy.
