Farewell test match for veteran Angelo Mathews who is playing 119th and last test match for his country injuries and other problems hit badly to this good skilled all-rounder who fail to achieve few good things during his career for Sri Lanka.

I never considered him to be in the same league as Kumar Sangakkara or Lasith Malinga. But he had his moments in international cricket. And with his retirement, the Sri Lankan team will become even weaker. Already they are in the danger of getting thrown out of the first-division of test cricket. And high emigration rates, and low birth rates mean that now the player pool is getting smaller and smaller. Angelo Mathews may not be a legend, but he played his part in keeping Sri Lanka in the same league as the pig-3. Hopefully he will find a coaching role, or a commentator role soon.
