How to get Mahela Jayawardene out
Have a tantrum.
That’s what we’d do. Have a real, world-class, multi-award winning, all-time-hall-of-fame hissy fit. A proper toy-flinging, teary-eyed shamefest.
The key is to act so insufferably badly that Jayawardene can’t look at you for embarrassment. You want to make him think: ‘This is intolerable. I literally can’t bear another second watching this happen.’
Subconsciously he’ll be keen to get out. It’ll be a relief for him.

Bloody typical. Just when you think you’ve done well getting Sangakkara out cheaply, Mahela decides he’s going to hit the big hundred instead. Those Sri Lankans really like to kick you when you’re up.
And maintain the kicking as you descend.
What worries me most, is that Mudshuden Singh Panesar seems to have turned into a rotten old trundler..
Pieterson looks like a better spin bowler than Monty at present.
It’s when Mahela and Sanga both decide to make some runs that you really have to worry.
Form is temporary, class is Mahela.
