What inspired captaincy from Mahela after lunch! When he tossed the ball to Farvez Maharoof, I thought we’d had it. His three-over new ball spell had been really ordinary and the lone over before lunch had been expensive. The obvious choice would have been Fernando or Lasith Malinga, but Jayawardene thought Maharoof would come good against left-handed Jacques Rudolph and he was so right!
