Naturally, white skinned happy to be with the same colored. Dark ones too like to be with white ones but they do not care dark ones.

Please explain his shortsightedness. On the contrary, he seem quite far sighted.

No one is indispensible

He has understood our mentality in this short time in Sri Lanka and decided to quit before he been kicked out unceremoniously like what happened to his predecessors. Well done.

Nothing like working and living in a civilized country.

It seems that the prodigies in SLC cant even sign a contract and keep a coach. They are after Mahela and Sanghakkara for speaking out against their incompetence of managing a cricket board, where is has become one of the bankrupt cricket boards of the world.

A fair call from his side; almost everyone would made the same decision. Higher pay, better facilities, and most importantly get to live and work in his home country. Though its not a good thing for Sri lanka cricket, he has made the RIGHT decision. At the end of the day, this is profession.
All the best to Sri lanka's luck charm ;)

Slapped on the corrupt SLC face

Paul should not take the credit for SLs T20 success. He just joined and for past 5 months we only confront with minnows like Banga. And your England role wont be last long since struggling England will kicked out you and head coach Moores in no time. Next ashes is your last assignment..:-)))

Jay Tuesday, 22 April 2014 09:59 AM

This is a blessing in disguise. Now the team should be angry and very very angry. Use this for your benefit.Trash England.

Sarathsk Tuesday, 22 April 2014 09:43 AM

Paul, you seem to be very short sighted...Good Luck , and I am sure you need a lot of it.
