    May be for the Good of the team, even though its bad.

    Thank god . There won't be missed catches during the next match. It's best all sort of bugs attack poor fielders.

    Before the match every player suppose to go for a fitness check and he was fit for the match, We witnessed yesterday match Malinga played without any problem and he bowled his 10 overs without any difficulties. But suddenly today he has been diagnosed with a viral influenza and ruled him out of the second ODI against Zimbabwe, tomorrow.??? can we believe this news ???Come on this is an inside square cut.

    He is a talented player. But does not know how to exploit it within the cricket circle. he is dividing team. Main man behind sidelining Chandimal. We need players to help each other but not dominate due to their international fame and money.Good old days this was not the case. When Mendis says its law because he has no reasons behind. We salute companies who employed them CTC, Mercantile Credit, hepthullaboy. Now paid by the board but no respect. Example malinga. he should be out of team and no one will take him even as a coach. because he has no talent off the ground

    Malinga is like any cricketer or sportsman. He has those days called bad days. Bradman has got out for zero and the best fielders ave let off catches. But they have records very few can beat like Lasith Malinga's.. So those who have failed should not throw mud at him. He is special for Sri Lanka like Susanthika, Kumar Mahela Murali Sanath et al.

    In Peace, I recon.

    Poor Malinga, a victim of 'dropped catches'!!!

    Ajja Monday, 03 July 2017 08:29 AM

    He is not fit to field either and batsmen always tend to run an additional run when ever he fields the ball.This clearly shows his lack of fitness. We saw that in IPL and the recently concluded Champions Trophy tournament.
