Hathuru did the right thing in 2018 by dropping Mathews.
Took our current idiots 3 years to realize.
Good riddance.
Thank you Aravinda.
I agree with Randy on this point! Mathews is a selfish player now! He was NOT when Mahela and Sanga were around.
Hathru's downfall started when he appointed Mathews to the captaincy without knowing that Mathews had shortcomings as an on-field captain during his first stint. I wished Hathru visited a forum like this before he made that move. Because, we had talked about Mathews captaincy issues many times in this forum. Hathuru, obviously without studying Mathews captaincy in his 1st stint, got him back. That was the at the start of Hathura's coaching in SL.
Hathru then had to remove Mathews after poor performances, and Mathews did not take that well. He then started to play like a small kid whose toy was taken away (I am quoting Mugatiya here, who made this observation very correctly, at the time). I clearly remember this, because Muga put that in such a funny way
For something about running between the wickets, not poor batting performances.
