What a class act this man is. The way he handled the podium and accepted a heartbreaking defeat so graciously, I think he needs to be recognized for that. Not only that, others (especially Indians) should learn from it and win even when you lose. All respect!

Re: Sangakkara - All class!
YEa Well he surely is.He seems a educated man. Sri lankans r great!!
Sangakarra indeed is a very gracious person with great sportsman spirit… even Sangakaraa’s predecessor Jayawardane used to be very courteous :k:
In fact he is well educated. I think he is a law graduate - but education doesn’t always guarantee civility and respect… that comes from inherent values and principles.
Re: Sangakkara - All class!
Sangakara is one of my Favorites... He technique is just the best. All Srilankan batsmen r very technical but Sangakara is just too good. I Remember when he almost single handedly got the test match away from Australia scoring 170 something in 4th inning and was vicitm of umpires bad decision. I am a big fan of his batting.
Now moreover when he became captain, and the way he took the defeat made him a great person too. He said something to Srilankanz in his language in Award cermony. I didt understand what he said but it sounded nice. :)
