Mathews happy to be Sri Lanka's forgotten man
Angelo Mathews said he would be delighted to be Sri Lanka's forgotten
man if it helps his side lift the World Cup. Middle order Mathews hasn't
had much chance to bat in the tournament with the top order coming good
more often than not as Sri Lanka made sure of their place in the
quarter-finals.
He has faced just 37 balls in the three games that he has batted,
totalling 35 runs. "I feel Sri Lanka's batting is very strong," he said.
"The top order has batted very well and the opportunities for others
have been limited so far. "I would be happy if I don't get to bat and
the top order continues to do well."
"It's not a big deal," said the all-rounder. "The conditions are
similar to Sri Lanka and the wickets are also slow. We have also played
in India often." AFP
