the form of one... life line for another...

most of us are wondering why jaya still plays and more than that why srilanka keeps playing him in spite of his form... are they being too gentle to turn to their hero and say its time sir... or there is something into it...

the answer lies in the dilstructive form of dilSHAAN...

since he is going great guns at one end... srilankans are carrying jayasuriya with the hope that he too will play his characteristic innings here or there if not that consistently... like the innings he played against his favorite team india... in a dress rehearsal before finals of compaq cup... its not hurting srilanka either coz they are still winning more matches than they are losing...

the problem will start for jayasuriya once team will start losing or the form of dilshan dips alarmingly... then srilanka will be forced to take a call on jayasuriya... coz then they won't be able to carry on with two non-performing openers and dropping dilshan for some failures will be akin to cutting your nose for someone else' swine flu... ok ok... bad example... but you get the point...

so jaya... make hey till dilshan shining...

...and when you step in field next time... don't forget to say "thank you dilSHAAN" with one hand on your heart...
