They just don't go away! Thilanga ate SLC and now one of his henchmen is in charge! Congratulations! Murali was right! Kusal play for coach while Shammi for Thilanga! Fans should play for Suranga!

I think SLC need a bottom up overhaul. There won't be any cricket in few years. Better to find another sport I guess.

83 votes! I wonder how many clubs can vote and which clubs have more than one vote. This country has the most "A" division clubs in the world a system which has shown that most of the matches are a farce. All Sumathipala's games to increase his teams vote bank

Status quo. Rogue replacing another Rogue. Wait for the punch line interviews with promises galore. All promises will be kept. Only difference is the promise for the clooneys who voted them in. And morw into thier pockets.

Quote - Cricinfo Shammi Silva has been elected president of Sri Lanka Cricket. Drawing in 83 out of a possible 142 votes Silva, a candidate backed by former president Thilanga Sumathipala, beat Jayantha Dharmadasa, who received 56 votes. Unquote It is the same scoundrels

The rouges and scoundrels back in action elected by vote sold for money earned through match fixing. The cleaning should start from club administration otherwise you cannot revive SLC

Isn't this the same man who was embroiled in a 5 million dollar scam with SLC a few months back? The Treasurer who was suspended pending inquiry? Whats going on?

I do not support both the Sumathipala or Ranatunge factions as both are corrupt. Minister should interfere and appoint an interim committee until further notice. How is Sumathipala allowed to enter the board premises to be fed a piece of cake by his bowser mate Silva? He should be banned and should not be allowed to enter the SLC premises.

For a moment I thought Mr Sumathipala's brother is elected as the President of SLC. Wow look alike take over for the same task. Just bust the SLC treasury and go broke.
