Too much influence of the Ministry of Sports in the affairs of Sri Lanka Cricket is one of the main reasons for the decline of the game today, former Sri Lankan Test Cricketer Sidath Wettimuny said.

Actually, being a proper groundsman is a skilled job. Perhaps a water carrier or boot cleaner?
Kamal-USA Tuesday, 30 April 2013 09:33 AM
Sir how can you talk against your govt & your minster.
ASHRAFF NAZIM Tuesday, 30 April 2013 09:49 AM
MR. WETTIMUNY'S STATEMENTS WAS CORRECT AND COMMENDABLE AND WE FULLY ENDORSE AND AGREE

Buffaloes seem to be racist animals

GC Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:14 AM
He should have discovered the true situation only after accepting the post you are referring to.
GC Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:14 AM
… and provide an alternative, honest and competent leadership to rescue Mother Lanka.
GC Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:20 AM
I thought Sidath is Sinhala
Yehiya Tuesday, 30 April 2013 09:32 AM
Thilanka is spoiled entire frame of cricket. But Sidath Ranjan,Roy are still with the good charactor in people mind.

Buffaloa thinks he has the solution for every issue...must be a mad cow.
Suq Madique Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:23 AM

DHA Tuesday, 30 April 2013 04:28 PM

You are unaware of what games these chaps played in the 80's

This is the state of the country today via DM Android App
Gamini Wednesday, 01 May 2013 08:21 AM
Well said Sidath.
asoka Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:06 AM
when politics has gone to religious places and schools what to say about sports...mahindananda cannot do anything without the blessings of the president...therefore president is the one to be blame...
Truth Tuesday, 30 April 2013 06:38 AM
Not only the cricket,whole system of the country collapsed due to un _educated ,Unethical ministers and their clan!!
jayantha silva Tuesday, 30 April 2013 06:51 AM
Well said Sidath , you always played with a straight bat .
rathne Tuesday, 30 April 2013 06:55 AM
not only cricket, whole country has gone to dogs due to corrupted and ill-politics.
Buffaloa Citizen Tuesday, 30 April 2013 07:05 AM
Appoint a muslim, tamil or burgher to these positions. As long as sinhalese are appointed, their will be intimidation and crooked deals. Short and sweet of the story.
PRASANNAJIT Tuesday, 30 April 2013 07:53 AM
One genuine cricketer to talk straight. They played for the country , not for money.
janak Tuesday, 30 April 2013 07:54 AM

habeeb Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:00 AM
Now this is a statemant from a real gentleman. If any one opose this go on and burn in the hell.
saradiyal Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:01 AM
The people with a feeling for the country should come out and speak, just like Sidath did and educate the masses of the plight the country is in.
Iraj Jayarathne Tuesday, 30 April 2013 06:34 AM
I think he hasn't got his cut and now angry, didn't you have any shame when accepting a post from same ministry of sports ?
Fayad Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:08 AM
Hope no one will brand him as traitor or foreign influence for coming out with the truth.
srinath.gunaratne Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:15 AM
Hats off to you sir being brave to tell the truth,
We should get rid of these people from sports, not even qualified to be a groundsman
Saradial Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:18 AM
Not many Sri Lankans would have the guts to make such a statement. Well done Sidath. You have spoken on behalf of all law abiding people.
chams Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:29 AM
While endorsing what Sidath said, I think there are much more powerful people than minister are poking their fingers in cricketing affairs who are also responsible for the chaos!
Anura Nanayakkara Tuesday, 30 April 2013 08:37 AM
ICC should intervene prohibiting polititians meddling with the game . Minister of sports should quit the job.
Be fair...... Tuesday, 30 April 2013 09:09 AM
Well said Sir, but be careful of the thug........"This is Land Like No other" truth can be distorted
Ranjitdea Tuesday, 30 April 2013 09:11 AM
