Sri Lanka Cricket: Never learns , too arrogant

Its a harsh word to say , but I have been keep saying this. " We deserve to loose games" . No matter how you can live in glorified past, it does not resolve your current issues.

Against South Africa, knowing Angelo Mathews is not available we still opted to play just 3 bowlers and bits and pieces spinner plus Asela Gunarathna. Result was evident. Asela and Prasanna combined to give away 136 runs for no pressure at all. Then Imran Thahir ran through our middle order like knife through butter.

Sri Lanka took Lakshan Sandakan on tour saying that he will be the X factor blah, blah. When Oval pitch was not clearly a run fest , they went ahead with Prasanna and what was the result? You all know.

We know we don't have bowler capable of taking wickets in the middle overs. So then play the bowler who you believed to do that for you.

I am not surprised if we bring Thisara at number 8 tomorrow, who is neither bowler or batsman. We are a stupid to that level who are not respecting basics of cricket. Take wickets you idiots, play four genuine bowlers. If your 7 batters can not win the game then pack your bags and come home.

India game is just a mere procedure in this CT. We are bound for a good hammer in the hands of very good team , perhaps title contenders.

Can not be patriotic always when its clear people who are responsible to make decisions make blunders.

You don't deserve to win tomorrow Sri Lanka. So please  don't even try!!!!!!!!!!!!

නාවික හමුදාව තවත් ශක්තිමත් වෙයි

මෙවර අන්තර් සමාජ රගර් තරඟාවලියට වසර ගණනක නිහැඬියාව බිඳිමින් ඉදිරිපතා වන නාවික හමුදා පිල තවත් ශක්තිමත් වී ඇත. මුලින්ම සී ආර් පිල හා එකතු වූ එරන්ද වීරක්කොඩි නාවික හමුදා පිලට එකතු වී ඇත. ඊට අමතරව රවි ජයසූරිය (CR) , සුමේධ මාලේවන (CH), සමන්ත ලක්ෂාන් (හැව්ලොක්) යන ක්‍රීඩකයන් ඇතුලු අන්තර් සමාජ පිටිය වර්ණවත් කල ක්‍රීඩකයන් රැසක් නාවික හමුදා පිල නියෝජනය කරනු ඇත.

CR and my Old Car

Was really excited for CR & FC at the beginning of the season. It stayed until before the 5th week against Havelock SC. But yet again for the umpteenth time CR just proved to me that it is really hard to be a fan of them. Let me explain my title first. I used to have 1997 make Toyota Caldina. Very spacious and comfortable, family friendly vehicle. Yes, the damn diesel automobile took me every where.  Here comes the BUT. But every month or so I would be doing some repair. I would fix the issue and would be happy. Always the joy was short lived. The very next month I would be at the garage trying to fix some thing else. Having being a CR fan almost for 20 years now, they remind me of my poor old car. If they have good forwards, then they would be lacking backs. Or rather a fly half, who could distribute the ball and set his back line in motion. Of the all  years Fazil "the legend" Marija haunted  CR and tore apart defenses,  I believe young Tarinda Ratwat...

Clinical performance and Dark Horses

I wanted to write about Royal vs St' Joseph's game before this. But had butterflies in my stomach preventing it. Honestly thought if Joes to win it would be by very small margin and for Royal were to win by much bigger margin. Game ended with just 5 points difference. I believe score line does not tell the exact story how Royal dominated the game. You might not agree with me , but if you want to verify just watch the replay. It was a great game of rugby where simply showed why schools rugby is way ahead of club rugby in the country. Both sides played really well. Only unfortunate thing was referee Dinka Peries had a very bad day. Lets not talk about it since nothing will change from that. Coming back to the game I really like the way current and recent past Royal teams are playing. They know exactly what to do. What opposition will throw at them. They absorb pressure like sponge. Other teams should thank the game is only 70 minutes this year. Those 10 extra minutes would ...
