    In the Buddhist philosophy there is nothing called blessing some one to come with good results.

    Buddhist and Hindu religious observances. Good.

    Wish you all the very best guys! We are waiting here in Australia to welcome you and to watch you win this series with flying colours.

    Australian tour in 1995 set the path to that triumph and will this be another ...........

    Whatever said, these rituals send out positive vibes. These are not done just to ensure victory but for the whole good. Maybe the Sri Lankan team escaped from a worse situation than what they went through during their Pakistan tour, because of this??

    It's praying, not in Buddhist phylosphy. This is a blessing that even your parents can do.

    Dilan Monday, 18 October 2010 04:08 AM

    Can we create history this time around.

    Ryan Monday, 18 October 2010 04:18 AM

    They seem to have a good plan this time. All the best gentlemen.

    Wish You All the Best.

    Definitely, they will get the World Cup of their Strenth & Determination. ........

    Our players don't need blessing. Blessing won't bring success. But they need motivation and self belief to beat Australia. Instead of this religious ceremony, a mental fitness program will do a lot.

    Nothing fails like prayers...!

    abc Monday, 18 October 2010 08:16 AM

    so whom do u pray to and whats the source of this blessing that your parents can do

    Jaminda Mendis Monday, 18 October 2010 08:25 AM

    Sanath maybe crying at home.

    Faqi Tuesday, 19 October 2010 12:39 AM

    These are just rituals and nothing more, they neither bring victory or defeat. Just utter nonsense.
