We should protect our heroes

Good article, But I am not agreeing with some of following comments,

In Sanath’s case the impact of age is of an entirely different order. His forearms and wrists, forged in a foundry in Matara have stood the test of time. It is an incontrovertible biological truth that age diminishes the speed of reflexes and the stamina to play a waiting game. A bowler is never undone by bowling one bad ball, but a batsman is always undone by one ball that is unplayable or one that he plays badly. He, therefore, needs fast reflexes as well as stamina to play a waiting game.

yes biological truths are there, but I do not think it affected to Sanath still.
As you can remember Mr Ranil Abenayaka has the same argument 2-3 years before. Sanath has completely undone it by performing well in the VB series (vs Australia) and the England tour. Actually he has given the replies to this kind of journalist with the two150s in the England tour.

Actually we should protects our heroes from this kind of
journalist.
