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

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.

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

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.

We still love you Malinga.

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".

Srilanka lost good Bowler but not Good Human

-4+2 # Amo 2013-03-06 07:13

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

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

-3+1 # Shem 2013-03-06 08:14

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

-1+3 # Impartial 2013-03-06 08:49

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.

-2+2 # IOSirisena 2013-03-06 09:35

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

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

-1+3 # Migara 2013-03-06 10:20

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

-1+4 # Concern 2013-03-06 10:26

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...

-5+1 # vajja 2013-03-06 13:36

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

-1+6 # jeri 2013-03-06 12:16

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

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'

-3+0 # dIREsTRAITS 2013-03-07 15:43

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 ?

-2+0 # Azmi 2013-03-07 13:06

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

-1+1 # Seelawathie 2013-03-07 15:34

People are so jealous with him because he is successful.

-1+0 # seeya 2013-03-07 18:19

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@!!

-1+0 # special Case 2013-03-07 18:36

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.

-0+2 # adoyako 2013-03-08 09:58

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