Here’s what Kumar Sangakkara said about Umpire decisions.
At high levels of umpiring, you get things right about 92 per cent of the time. But the eight per cent is also now important at the high level the game is played these days – Kumar Sangakkara.
Do you have any comments?

I know India are also down to a new team. But would India and Sri Lanka go on to loose against Zimbabwe in the tri-series with lack of experience.
chandimal might be the wicket keeper cuz he has the potential to be the next sangakkara. Also dilshan is a cracking fielder at point and cover than he is a wicket keeper. we’ll see.
Congratulations Sri Lanka, Cricinfo neatly summarizes:
"Kumar Sangakkara set up the chase and Angelo Mathews took them to the final lap before Chamara Kapugedera sealed the finish in style by hitting a six off the last ball. It was that close and dramatic. The captain and the two inexperienced men he had backed heavily in the past had come through when it mattered at the big stage. "
However, Aussies seem to have figured out the winning formula pretty early.
The bowlers have been the key!
1. England ..can they challenge the Aussies?
2. Pakistan, seems impossible with the batting!
3. From Sri Lanka, can Jaywardane, Matthews, Sangakarra & Member of parliament do it?
EDIT: Good point MBTM, we should all watch IPL instead!
I disagree, Australia & England have played some fantastic and consistent cricket this T20, they cant be called second tier!
2010 20-20 wordlcup.
Sri Lanka’s 15-man squad for the ICC World T20:
Kumar Sangakkara (capt), Muttiah Muralitharan (vice-capt), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Thissara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekera, Suraj Randiv, Ajantha Mendis, Lasith Malinga, Chanaka Welagedara, Chamara Kapugedara, Sanath Jayasuriya, Chinthaka Jayasinghe.
With the likes of the inconsistent Mahela and Sanath making the squad and Murali as vice captain, eyebrows must be raised… is there enough competition in this team?
10.5: Muttiah Muralitharan to Ross Taylor, 0 Runs(s)
2.5: Muttiah Muralitharan to Amit Mishra, 2 Runs(s)
SIBI MALAYIL-MOHANLAL-LOHITHADAS-RAVEENDRAN MAASHU AGAIN THE UNFORGETTABLE DUO
1.5: Manpreet Gony to Tillakaratne Dilshan, 1 Runs(s)
