Did anyone here went to the T20 Match at RPS when the cricket board oversold tickets and there was a stampede.
Well this time round you will see all the families and friends of the Board officials at ALL matched in the BEST seats!!!
Not to mention all the money stolen from the so called new stadium projects. A few crooks have sold our fine cricketers down a drain !!!

If the meteorology dept predicts that it will rain till end of May then you can be sure it won't rain, you can always rely on them to be wrong...

Rain Rain go away..come back only if we don't play well

Travis Monday, 07 February 2011 04:45 AM

The tickets might have gone under-hand for a much higher price. I think it needs a thorough audit as to how the sale of tickets took place.

waz Monday, 07 February 2011 11:05 AM

Are we going to watch live RAIN instead of CRICKET on the TV?

Dinesh Monday, 07 February 2011 10:59 AM

This is why the Met Department predicted that it will rain! It normally happen opposite to their predictions!

It is your honour and privilege to hear from me. Arjuna must be there stirring up trouble.

Government is cricketing poor people of this country. So what is more than the real cricket? so no need panic now

Loating Monday, 07 February 2011 07:25 AM

Like in Vietanm Floating market we can have floating Paliment. Door To Door

Karuna Amman Monday, 07 February 2011 06:59 AM

lol

It is indeed a must to have a full audit regarding this world cup affair to clear the gray areas highlighted. This will be good for the officials involved as they claim there is no fowl play so they can prove. it is a fact that all the people involved in this has done great for sri lanka cricket. So it is a must I belive.

Regarding the tickets, they will be available at the gate for much higher prizes.( this i have experienced several times at colombo.

I hope and pray , that this rain will stop. not coz of cricket but for the sake of all sri lankans who have already affected.

Blessing Monday, 07 February 2011 06:19 AM

Hope it will not be be raining, We need rain to so let God bless wiht mixed ( rain and sun ). But let it rain at the Paliment.

Kan Monday, 07 February 2011 06:18 AM

It will be raining till May 2011 as predicted by Meteorological Department.

ravi Monday, 07 February 2011 05:51 AM
