This is completely untrue. Jayasuriya was captain for a very long stretch.
I agree with this. Sangakkara left when the time was right.
I think its ok to give Dilshan the captaincy. He can be in charge until someone younger gains enough experience to take over the reins.

That doesn't dispute my point at all.

Interesting to hear Sanga talk about his decision, and the future of SL cricket. Great interview.

So they rate him as a top order batsman, but are wary of having him at 5-6? How odd.

Sanga specifically noted that if he had failed at 5-6 in the WC, on such a big stage, they'd be worried that he'd be scarred for a long time.
He truly is their next great hope isn't he (SL fans would be in a better position to say so obviously)? If that's the case, it's not the worst decision ever. But sometimes you just gotta back your young guys to do the job.

The truth is that Chandimal would have done wonders than the two BJ boys in the middle order. Playing him even at #6 was acceptable.
What most SL fans think the best XI for the final was: Dilshan, MJ, Sanga, Chandimal, Sam, Mathews, Perera, Vaas, Randiv, Malinga and Fernando. Most of us thought even playing Murali against India was not necessary, but pace of Malinga, Fernando and Perera and the swing of Vaas would do the job for us. But Perera, Fernando and Randiv were never given the confidence they wanted, Vaas and Chandimal was not even selected.
