Whatever it is, the outstanding salaries of our players should be settled immediately by the Board.

-1+1#citizen12012-02-05 01:36

I fear we may lose our best players because of the dysfunctional board.

Looks like the IPL capitalist are taking ques from the USA where investment bankers on Wall Street, highly paid CEO's, college coaches and professional athletes that have taken top dollar and in return delivering nothing. Hope Mahela can prove otherwise.

What about clash between IPL 2012 and England Sri Lanka test series? Mahela arrived late in England last year from IPL and was not properly prepared to play test cricket. His poor performance was one of the contrubting factors for our loss in that series.

-1+1#Amith2012-02-05 01:50

Mahela you didn't do much for Sri Lanka recently upto your standard we expect you to do . Hope at least you respect the Dollars.

Well done Deshabandu Mahela. Now hammer the "Pandu" out of the grounds without a Randu and show your class as the best batsman ever produced by Sri Lanka.

IF the money is brought to SL that is... what IF he has an off shore account? sigh let em bring in the money and spend it... the economy thrives when the money is rotated... Stop making ppl go and invest in foreign countries.... REMEMBER... he signs and the money is earned in India and ... so he has the luxury of keeping the money where ever he wants...Are u suggesting tha India should tax the foreign players.... ummmmm
