[ said]: When the magnitude of the occasion hits you it kind of overwhelms you. It’s much easier playing cricket than realizing that you are going to probably play the last match with the world’s best bowler,

arabtimes 31-MAR-11

[ said]: Being two down with 60 runs to go we should have been a bit clinical, but probably in hindsight it was good for the middle order to show us what they can do as well,

[-said]: Mahela has converted every single opportunity he's had in the tournament. He got run out unfortunately in the match against Australia. He is a big match player. He is the best batsman in our team. He and Aravinda de Silva are the best two players we've seen in years. He won't back down from any challenge. He relishes important moments.
