Sri Lanka's captain Mahela Jayawardene Monday hit back at suggestions his team have "choked" in major finals - and said he'd rather be a runner-up than an also-ran. Jayawardene, speaking on the eve of the hosts' World Twenty20 opener against Zimbabwe, said it was tribute to Sri Lanka that they had reached three global title matches since winning the 1996 one-day World Cup.
"Lot of people have asked us why we have choked in the finals," he said on Monday. "I'd rather be in that situation than being knocked out in earlier rounds. "So that means we are doing something pretty good in these big tournaments and we hope to continue that in World Twenty20."
