    Fieldsman Monday, 21 February 2011 06:12 AM

    Canadian is not a team with test status... and having inexperience players...still our middle order batsmen did not do well in the match.

    FDO Monday, 21 February 2011 06:41 AM

    hey dis was a reply 4 "Guru"

    UJ Monday, 21 February 2011 06:44 AM

    Well done boys. As Arjuna mentioned earlier we need a serious thought on middle order.

    Ranjith Monday, 21 February 2011 06:54 AM

    Not both operners but the two friends Sanga and Tharanga during fist part of the innings. Sanga should come down @ no 5 or 6. Tilan and Angelo move up

    Ranjith Monday, 21 February 2011 07:02 AM

    Only Tharanga and Sanga struglled

    Chinthana Monday, 21 February 2011 07:16 AM

    Do not brand people 'anti SL' like your great politicians do by labelling the heroes as traitors. They are not anti SL but anti jarapakses

    R.Dias Monday, 21 February 2011 07:38 AM

    MIRACLE OF ASIA. WE HAVE WON THE CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nirosha P. Monday, 21 February 2011 08:26 AM

    nissanka Monday, 21 February 2011 08:56 AM

    Canada.
    Welcome to the world cup. I hope you guys play better than this in your other matches.

    I Hussein Monday, 21 February 2011 09:01 AM

    Dont be over optimistic mate. We too are waiting to meet India.

    Ryan Monday, 21 February 2011 10:39 AM

    Only thing is people enjoyed a lot yesterday as SL batted first. Thanks SL for the decision.

    Rosy Monday, 21 February 2011 12:26 PM

    There are deadly snakes in Canada. So any snake is one and the same. Its good they got rid of them.

    Romel Monday, 21 February 2011 12:29 PM

    India is not in the running at all.
    Who knows if they have any luck at all.

    Rameez Monday, 21 February 2011 12:31 PM

    Don't worry there will be celebrations - a bit more to go.

    C. Senthilan Monday, 21 February 2011 01:12 PM

    Hats off to Canadian team which has a Tamil with it whereas Srilanka also has only one Tamil. No place at all for Norther East Tamils.

    avathaany Monday, 21 February 2011 02:43 PM

    kalum Sunday, 20 February 2011 04:37 PM

    Canada is too easy but with pakistan you have to give full power.

    segu Sunday, 20 February 2011 04:42 PM

    as Arguna pointed out, middle order needs to be strengthened. Mahela's position needs to be replaced by either Kapu or Tilan and Mahela needs take their position.

    poor but rich Sunday, 20 February 2011 05:32 PM

    Dont be too proud by beating the dead snake........

    Obama laden Sunday, 20 February 2011 05:48 PM

    We say well done once u defeat Aussies,but not the kinds of Canada,Netherland or Kenya.

    roro Sunday, 20 February 2011 05:56 PM

    so Canada must be a good team to warrant such celebration. I'm sorry i dont know much about cricket. just got to know of the game when i came here. anyway congrats.

    Guru Sunday, 20 February 2011 06:44 PM

    SL Monday, 21 February 2011 12:25 AM

    "The Miracle Of Asia" as some dumb anti Sri Lankan would say for anything!

    Anver Monday, 21 February 2011 01:07 AM

    Was not very impressed with the openers. They gave too many dot balls. Hope they will correct the problem in the coming matches.

    prabath Monday, 21 February 2011 03:02 AM

    should not be too proud until we get World Cup

    Top Sri Lankan Monday, 21 February 2011 04:11 AM

    Not a bad news, but will all blacks celebrate after beating Nepal?

    pasha Monday, 21 February 2011 04:16 AM

    ICC should stop these children team participating in big world cup. it is making cricket boring.

    KIRI PUTHA Monday, 21 February 2011 04:13 AM

    Guru Monday, 21 February 2011 04:52 AM

    Beating a team like Canada is nothing to be proud of.

    asoka abeywardena Monday, 21 February 2011 05:42 AM

    we are happy about the winning...but there's nothing to celebrate...

    Calistus J. Monday, 21 February 2011 05:48 AM

    Will India make up to that stage?.
