Yes, some decisions worked out at the end but I do not agree. The Dilshan, who was tormanting BD, then the IPL bowlers, then the whole world, left, right, up, down, bottom, middle was not found. How can you allow a production that sort get lost? Was it a fair trade off? Had Dilshan didn't keep I certainly think SL would not had to fight coming from behind in all three test (1st two to win, 3rd one draw).
This strategy worked because of the house of cards built by Pakistan (team) and the tenacity of the SL players.

No comparison with Mahela and Ashraful. All this encouragement talk, 140+ innings experience means nothing unless he improves his 23 average to 30. The less he talks the better it is for BD. One Ashraful is enough for BD.
Plus Mahela and Sanga are educated men. They know what to say, how to say and when to say.
