I don't think it's a good idea to appoint who's engaged with politics to appoint since cricket is a sport ! We need a cricketer in selecting committee not a politician ! !

-72+92 # Rosh 2013-01-25 14:39

Why not? he has plenty experience as he has already selected three "players".

-0+10 # Punny Pellow 2013-01-26 07:56

No cricketers from the opposition?. A CSC or PSC?. Yapa knows the best gundus to win!!.

-7+148 # Yehiya 2013-01-25 17:03

Another corrupted member to Board. If need politician it must go to Arjuna.

-0+25 # Vik 2013-01-26 12:27

He might select himself!!!

-0+6 # Paradise 2013-01-26 13:54

Ohhh yeah .. thats a very high possibility

-16+131 # awshad rahim 2013-01-25 12:44

This is the best solution,since we have lost interest in Cricket best you take the entire team of your sellection and start Dancing Non Stop Baila,which is good for the body and will not give the spectators heart "ATTACKS"

Reveng first and then cricket....

-11+135 # Slinga 2013-01-25 12:51

SL Cricket is already in a mess, what next?

-4+147 # shane 2013-01-25 12:54

Too many roles for Sanath as a minister, commentator, lover,husband,f ather and dancer. So its good for part time role..not as a full time for sure .

-0+7 # Ann 2013-01-26 14:07

A man who goes from woman to woman isn't much of a husband or father. How does he manage it all anyway :D

But seriously, they couldn't find anyone else that they are contemplating picking him?

Now it will be another muddle with favouritsm.

God saves Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka Cricket. Expect some revenge on Mahela and Sanga.

-139+18 # don 2013-01-25 13:41

This is a very good move. Need some one with a real cricketing brain as the Head. We all know that he reads the game better than any one. But please keep the politics aside.

-14+122 # Lobo 2013-01-25 14:24

Sanath cannot handle his women so how is he going handle the cricketers since he can't divorce them?

-1+35 # anju de silva 2013-01-25 22:06

@don - real cricketing brain? I wonder where your brain is?? or do u have one???

-5+81 # balakaya 2013-01-25 13:46

kHELIYA. Sonna was a good cricketer. Until he joined the MARA bandwagon. For a MP fool who will sign a blank paper which was used as impeachment later what else will he sign. Sri Lanka you were a disgrace in Australia. I dont see you coming out of this rut ever if politics is the main ingredient of selection

-3+81 # Mutu 2013-01-25 13:49

Will this fellow find "pus" coming out of the pitch again.

-7+100 # andy 2013-01-25 13:51

End of cricket in sri lanka.

The mission of Politicization the Judiciary is over. The next mission appears to be the politicizing Sri Lankan Cricket Team.

-3+65 # Lobo 2013-01-25 14:01

A political stooge who will do the bidding of the foul-mouthed Aluthgamage. Neither are respected.

-6+65 # Vernon 2013-01-25 14:05

How can a man who couldn't select the correct wife first time, be the chairman of a Cricket Selection Committee? Just because he is supporting the PA doesn't mean he is the best man for the job.

-3+77 # oshanda 2013-01-25 14:06

End of the senior players career...he will take revenge...MP...Chairman of selectors...commentator...whats next..

-3+56 # Gilbert Silva 2013-01-25 14:06

That brings politics straight into the game, this time openly.

-2+15 # SRI 0 2013-01-25 22:23

Nobody will be happy about this appointment. Other than the role as a cricketer he has failed everywhere. All the above comments prove it. Good luck Mahela and Sanga.

-27+5 # Senna 2013-01-25 22:48

Good decision by the minister. Sanath has got a wealth of Cricket knowledge , I am sure he will do a good job within this year for Cricket in SL. He is matured and learnt things in so many ways and surely he will be a champion.

Should be appointed as SL Women's team as he has a good taste.

-0+7 # Jagath Leanage 2013-01-26 05:55

Cricket in Sri Lanka has gone down very badly. With this decission it will further go down as Sanath is a politician. Politicians should not involve for administration. Result will be that administration will be politicalized.

Sanath, if you have an iota of decency left in you, you would decline this offer. But then again, isn't that a rare commodity with you these days!?

-2+11 # asoka 2013-01-26 08:19

Sanath, you have lost the faith and respect of your fans, once whom were cheering for you. That is because of your own actions and for becoming a boot licker of the government. NOW, AT LEAST USE THIS CHANCE AND DO A GOOD JOB WITHOUT BEING BIAS AND PRODUCE A WELL BALANCED TEAM. It might help to bring back the lost popularity...

-1+7 # sulang 2013-01-26 08:23

This is not surprising? We need a greedy politician to be on the panel. How else could we get our kith and kin selected to the team....

-1+9 # Mohamed Z 2013-01-26 09:02

Sir,

Reading all the 54 comments prior to me reflects one thought. He is a good cricketer no doubt but he is simply not suited for this role.

He may bury our SL Cricket under "PUSSESS" - quote from his only day as a commentator !

How can a person who failed couple of times in selecting the right life partner, select a team ? GOD bless SRI LANKA CRICKET .

More cricketers from Matara to represent Srilanka cricket team...

-2+1 # chandrakumar 2013-01-26 09:41

Sanath, you are a good choice. But leave politics aside and select the best players on form and ability to play good cricket. Don't select greedy players who go after 20/20 format sacrificing srilanka's chances to have well planned cricket fixtures. Give young players a chance and remove the old ones even they happened to have played with you in the team earlier.

-0+3 # Peter 2013-01-26 11:49

He was a good cricketer that made the cricketing world change the rules. But is he a good selector? He has already lost the respect by going into politics. Will his supporters dominate the team?

-0+4 # asela 2013-01-26 12:14

Another poor selection of Authorities. The end of the game if this proposal confirmed. God bless Sri Lanka

If you want to get a higher post in Sri Lanka no matter what qualification you have you must have political affiliations. Bad move

Seems like Sports Minister have already decided to nail the coffin, the so called change.. we really thought some good change was coming, I used to not miss a single game Sanath played before we won the World Cup, then we saw how this once feared and admired great player became zero from hero, if he had retired after that recalled England tour and had not joined politics he may still have remained a hero. I am sorry to tell you Sanath you really don't deserve to be in this panel.. the Public has witnessed your antics enough, you'll never see how low you have become till you leave politics.. at least now please give up.. if you still do not wish to leave, avoid taking revenge.. all in all God' Bless Lankan cricket team..

-0+1 # Calistus Jayatilleke 2013-01-27 11:31

A "Pus Vedilla". On the positive side, with his personal experience in wives, he will avoid repeating the same particular players for a number of matches and keep on changing players until he finds a perfect one - which will be Never!
