I would like to think Mathews got his fingers burnt than losing confidence, after all this was not his choice but forced in to it through injury. His form was poor to average at best and that should be of concern. I would also like to think that Mathews will look at this as more a T20 bash and not much more but there are enough scars to cause dramas if he doesnt handle the situation well.
The lack of spinners is a serious concern given SL definitley has no pace bowling talent. I dont understand this! The reason sighted for the lack of pace bolwing is spin friendly wickets and now there arent spinners. There isnt a flood of high scoring batters either. Shouldnt be a surprise given those in charge of SLC are busy looting and petty politics while the game is left to its own.
Mahela just cannot cope with seam and pace. Get the same bowlers at the SSC and he will bat forever. He just hasnt been able to cope with the change in conditions.
The slide in the field - international venues are like billiard tables - a far cry your average domestic field.
Don't know if it's wise to 'loose confidence' over a captaincy record in a T20 league(domestic one at that too). I mean they play 'as a group' ONLY 45 days in a year!!! Should treat this a more like entertaintment(WWE??).
If Mathews really has 'lost confidence', he should know better than that!!

May be but, Vimukthi Perera s also drafted from SL-A to Rest of SL team. He s also a left arm pacer.
So it's a shoot out between Lakmal and Vimukthi I guess for Wela's spot!
