    People are so jealous with him because he is successful.

    Concern Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:56 AM

    Well malinga... you are really a an un professional crickter. You can have preassure and so many problems but you dont have any dam rights to yell and bark at media... You have lost all the support from srilanka. Do you think the country fans will like you here after???? Its a pity... Oh is it because you know only sinhala???? If a media guy had asked you this same in English???? You would have has eggs in your mouth.. Get a life ,,, of course i knw these will not go into your head as you are driven by cash and cash only.. and you will go to any extent to do what ever for that...

    Pol Pot Wednesday, 06 March 2013 05:19 AM

    He seems to be learning very fast from the way Politicians like Mervin behave!

    jeri Wednesday, 06 March 2013 06:46 AM

    He should be punished as many youngsters would have watched this clip on the news....Set the example for young ones....

    Padukka Wednesday, 06 March 2013 07:06 AM

    It shows where is coming from ( rathgama) ?

    mail_guy Wednesday, 06 March 2013 07:57 AM

    IPL money speaks.

    vajja Wednesday, 06 March 2013 08:06 AM

    Why,is media the supreme power? Or they should get special attention for publishing unnecessary gossips and that kind things? Well said malinga.

    Rubert Vanderkoon Wednesday, 06 March 2013 08:17 AM

    One word: Idiot!

    sairah Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:42 AM

    this is a prove that education is vital for every citizen

    EA Thursday, 07 March 2013 05:20 AM

    He is a disgrace to Sri Lanka cricket

    sir Don Batsman Thursday, 07 March 2013 07:07 AM

    This gangster is a write off now.

    chandrakumar Thursday, 07 March 2013 07:30 AM

    Who are you Malinga? You were acting like a swollen headed Ass. SriLankan people lifted you to this level. You have to respect srilankan people for supporting you in the past. Don't act as the 'KATUSSA WITH THE GOLDEN NECKLACE AROUND THE NECK'

    Azmi Thursday, 07 March 2013 07:36 AM

    any how good bowler

    vandort Thursday, 07 March 2013 08:07 AM

    Is Malinga from this side of Benthara Bridge or other side from Colombo? One has to be careful when dealing.

    Nawfal Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:50 AM

    I think we must call Malcom samuel to interview him

    dIREsTRAITS Thursday, 07 March 2013 10:13 AM

    Sri Lankan people didnt lift him. He did it with his own talent. I think we lift the whole weight of our moronic leaders. Why dont you and I critique them for their behaviour ?

    Dammika Thursday, 07 March 2013 11:54 AM

    bull shit

    seeya Thursday, 07 March 2013 12:49 PM

    This is Sri Lanan style.....From Lokka to the bottom..everyone has got something on their head.. these days. Everyone who jumps high have to come down one day@!!

    special Case Thursday, 07 March 2013 01:06 PM

    Doesn't need to insult him because SCC should take action against he's behaviour. I saw comments lot of people so jealous with him.
    But remember one thing he is one of most successful bowler this time in the world.We can't underestimate he's value.

    RDF Thursday, 07 March 2013 04:22 PM

    What pride...stupidity

    adoyako Friday, 08 March 2013 04:28 AM

    Is it just me or is there no big deal with his behaviour?

    piyal Saturday, 09 March 2013 05:58 AM

    need a code of ethics for these people of the press and an authority to enforce it.
    true it is not possible to approve malinga's outburst. YET HE WAS UNDER PRESSURE AT THAT TIME' I BELIVE.

    mahesh Thursday, 21 March 2013 01:56 AM

    Thank you malinga for speking real sinhala not sankara sinhala

    insaaf hisham Friday, 05 April 2013 04:29 PM

    he was catching fish and learning to practice cricket now look at his pride what a shame for the nation srilanka

    muhaj Friday, 12 April 2013 04:52 AM

    what proud he brought to SriLanka? during world cup he was smashed in the finals and what about T20 finals!!!! same all story. in big occasions he is not doing anything to our country.

    Izeth Tuesday, 05 March 2013 12:33 PM

    We still love you Malinga.

    shivanthi Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:32 AM

    This is not how a role model, national cricketer should behave, regardless of his talent, reputation or his importance to the National team, he should be suspended and must be made to apologize publicly.

    Mohamed Jihaddeen Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:35 AM

    IPL money speaks here

    ind Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:37 AM

    Lankan Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:40 AM

    See what pride can do to man..hmm

    Just Another Citizen Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:40 AM

    This is what happens when people start treating them like royalty. And they expect to be treated that way in return.

    ajj Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:45 AM

    numba nadan numba nadan numabata mewa honda padam

    siri elapatha Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:54 AM

    This cricket guy act aggressively in public and shows the world that he is big headed somebody,which inevitably comes from inferior complicity.. even though this guy playing gentleman's game,he has proved to the public that he is not a gentleman.Barking at Media is big mistake.

    weere Tuesday, 05 March 2013 12:04 PM

    just as much you went up the ladder you will hear the same from others when you have to come down the ladder someday

    Starcanopous Tuesday, 05 March 2013 12:16 PM

    this is what happens ...............................
    When something goes wrong
    don't point dis as a BIG mistake

    good boy Tuesday, 05 March 2013 12:22 PM

    real beach boy

    jumboo Tuesday, 05 March 2013 11:22 AM

    Oops very poor behavior. Regardless what happened well when u become arrogant so much u fall is hard. Watch malinga u may have play in the sand like those days not green turf.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 05 March 2013 12:33 PM

    It really shows his upbringing, education and class although he is playing what some may call a "gentleman's game". This is what heaps of money has done for him, just like they say "Katussata ran maalayak banda wage".

    Kondebandapucheena Tuesday, 05 March 2013 12:35 PM

    Srilanka lost good Bowler but not Good Human

    Saman Wednesday, 06 March 2013 01:31 AM

    How patriotic you are.....

    Amo Wednesday, 06 March 2013 01:43 AM

    He was in a bad mood, let us not take it personally.

    catalyst Wednesday, 06 March 2013 02:29 AM

    All around SL is all about jokers. I am not proud to be one.

    Shem Wednesday, 06 March 2013 02:44 AM

    Well Fast Bowlers must be aggressive. Or you can be wimp like the leader like the one at UNP a toothless tiger

    dhaka Wednesday, 06 March 2013 03:05 AM

    the swag

    Impartial Wednesday, 06 March 2013 03:19 AM

    Malinga Nowadays is not a quality bowler for SL. He is quality only for IPL and the Australian Big Bash. So we need not care about persons who don't care about the SL Public, SLC & the
    SL Media.

    IOSirisena Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:05 AM

    paaah as if he's the first cricketer to have a spat with the media....#frogsinthewell

    Garan Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:20 AM

    can some one please translate what maliga told to media in English?

    aruna Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:22 AM

    Typical taxi driver ?????

    Bumblebee Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:33 AM

    May be no one here understands his actual situation. This is what happen when someone get pushed over the Limits.

    Migara Wednesday, 06 March 2013 04:50 AM

    Absolute shame this is what happens when people with out charactor get lot of money. For Malinga Money comes first not the country he is a person who has put Mumbai Indians ahead of Sri Lanka for money
