Mahela Jayawardene

Didn't want to jeopardise our hard work

Mahela Jayawardene on why Sri Lanka decided to settle for a draw in Pallekele, and the factors that helped his side beat Pakistan

14-Jul-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

A gamble that almost backfired

The decision to bowl at the SSC proved risky, and there could have been a result had the Test been played the full five days

07-Jul-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

DRS could have made big impact

We need technology to help the umpires, the ICC can step in and help certain cricket boards finance it

28-Jun-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

We have gone one-up on their bowlers

We didn't handle Pakistan's strong bowling well during the series in the UAE, but are more confident after the victory in the one-dayers

21-Jun-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

The start of World Twenty20 preparations

The games against Pakistan, and the one against India, are the chance to zero in on our perfect Twenty20 squad

31-May-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

As a captain, you love to be challenged

The win against England didn't come easy for Sri Lanka; which made it that much more special

31-Mar-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

You need to fight Australia for every run

Sri Lanka did well to move on from the Hobart defeat, defending a modest target to qualify for the CB Series finals. Now the last hurdle

03-Mar-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

Happy the win overshadowed my milestone

After what we achieved in Durban, anything is possible for us. That's how you progress as a team: you set yourself little goals and try and achieve that

02-Jan-2012•Mahela Jayawardene

We need to play the Sri Lankan brand of cricket

Doing well in South Africa will be about facing the challenge head on and playing the natural, aggressive game Sri Lanka are known for

14-Dec-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

We need to put the Pakistan series behind us

It has been a disappointing outing for Sri Lanka in the UAE, but we've got to look ahead to South Africa

27-Nov-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

Two-fifty is a good score under the new Powerplay rules

Large totals are going to be difficult to achieve without good starts. Teams are going to have to rethink their strategies

17-Nov-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

We've competed, but we've slipped up as well

One bad session apiece has cost Sri Lanka their last three series. Ironing out those mistakes will be top priority for the side

09-Nov-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

Our mental approach has let us down

The Pakistan bowling attack has tested Sri Lanka in the first two Tests. Now the Sri Lankan batsmen must figure a way to score off them

01-Nov-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

We're looking to build a strong pace unit

Sri Lanka got the better of the draw in the first Test, but a bowling attack that struggles to take 20 wickets is a worry

24-Oct-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

Not all doom and gloom despite defeat

We played some good cricket, weren't outplayed for long periods of time and unearthed some really talented youngsters

12-Jul-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

Chandimal earned his stripes

Maybe the go-slow at the end was not exactly ideal, but Dinesh Chandimal showed he could take whatever England dished out

05-Jul-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

Cook has my sympathies

Being an international captain is hard, especially of England, whose limited-overs side are, like ours, in a phase of rebuilding and rethinking

30-Jun-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

We didn't take the easy way out

Sri Lanka could have gone into the Tests against England with seven batsmen, but we chose not to, for the sake of building a team for the future

22-Jun-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

We will miss Dilshan

It's a big loss, but we were never going to take any chances with our captain

15-Jun-2011•Mahela Jayawardene

We passed the test of character

After what happened in Cardiff, it was always going to be a test of character at Lord's, and we came through it really well
