Ok guys, here's it from horse's mouth. Mahela explains why he wasn't the official captain today. "The intentions were not bad. Obviously I had a warning after the last match. If I repeated the offence I miss the next match. Kumar as the official captain went to the toss. It’s tough to bowl 20 overs in one hour 20 minutes. We try our best, but penatlies are very harsh. We don’t want to miss out on big games and we did it in the right intentions. Angelo is the vice-captain, in that Pakistan game at Hambantota three months back he was also found guilty of maintaining a slow over rate. If he gets nailed he misses a game as well. So we had to find a guy who didn’t have an offence to his name. Kumar fitted the bill. Don’t know what will happen tomorrow, I might get a phone call from the ICC. The move was suggested by our Manger Charith Senanayake. All credit to him.
