Mendis sold for $ 725.000 and Rangana Herath unsold ???

Banda Sunday, 03 February 2013 12:32 PM

Why? so that MR can appoint more ministers? You earn a living until you retire. Cricketers have to earn during a limited period for a lifetime. Some cricketers play only for a few seasons. SO LET THEM GET WHAT THEY DESERVE. Sri Lankans can be only proud of their cricketers. Are you chinese to say things like this?

Banda Sunday, 03 February 2013 12:30 PM

They are not auctioned this year - they will continue to play for the previous years teams

MagodisThuma Sunday, 03 February 2013 12:23 PM

Motta Rala Sunday, 03 February 2013 11:02 AM

DHA Sunday, 03 February 2013 09:46 AM

Indians know the fact he is a future threat and talent....they want to study him that\s why they have offered big money for him....why our board never understands.....

Tharaka Chanaka Sunday, 03 February 2013 09:37 AM

MR should introduce a tax for cricketers..

Tharaka Chanaka Sunday, 03 February 2013 09:35 AM

No wonder our boys dont boycott the IPLs, but indians boycott the SLPL

LK Sunday, 03 February 2013 09:20 AM
