00:00Talk about Dhoni and Chennai. I think the young fast bowler, Pathirana, is doing well
00:14for Chennai. And Dhoni had a suggestion a couple of matches ago that Pathirana should
00:19play more of a wide ball cricket. You are a bowler who has played all formats of the
00:25game. What do you think is that Pathirana should do coming down?
00:32Well, I think, I was working for Sri Lanka Cricket one year back. And I mentioned the
00:40same thing to Sri Lanka Cricket. A person like Mathew Chapathe, we need to look after
00:46him. If he is going to play all the formats, I don't think he will survive. Because the
00:52way he bowls, not easy action. He is a unique action. But very strenuous action. But he
01:01needs a lot of fitness. Bowling 4 or 24 holes is okay. But if you bowl more than that, then
01:09the problem will occur. So, like Dhoni said, I totally agree. And Sri Lanka Cricket, look
01:18into it and take care of him. And if he plays regularly in the T20 and one day, then maybe
01:26when he is fit enough, then Sri Lanka Cricket can consider him to play a test cricket outside
01:32Sri Lanka.
