A legend of world cricket and he would be missed.


All the best Mahela - enjoy your life with family and friends

Great accomplishment in all formats. Weldone Mahela to carry on with the torch from Attapatu and others. You will be missed. Obviously Ranatunga and De Silva are the first ones to snatch it for you guys. You have trained the young ones nicely as well. Mathew, Perrera and it continues.

the world of cricket .... al the formats will miss this truly great player ... ...

He, Sanga, and Matthews carried SL to a series win in England. Now it remains to be seen if the young generation can step up and fill the huge shoes.
