Arjuna Ranathunga, one of the former cricket captains says that according to cricket law taking the wicket of Jos Buttler by Sachithra Senanayake is correct, the decision taken should have been changed by Angelo Mathews.
Though it is correct that when the England batsman Jos Buttler was away from the limit, take the wicket after few warnings, but if Mathews took steps to call him back could show the super Sri Lankan quality to the world.
” I think that being the captain, what Mathews should have done was to keep him back on the wicket. He should be told that if it is repeated, no excuse” Arjuna explained his stand point.
His belief is that Sri Lanka lost a chance to show our quality to the cricket world.
He further said that as the senior cricketers like Mahela, Sangakkara, Dilshan were there on the grounds, they should have corrected this.
