Our players should be given to break rock stones in their free times and get them fit. If they cannot perform 100% when they should what's the use of paying them so much. It's not a matter of winning or loosing. just see how they performed. It was like school boy cricketers or even worse.

Cricket board is controlled by Thilanga who was defeated by people but brought through back door by MS. And he just last week gave a multi million dollar advertising tender at SLC to MS's daughter's new company. Go very facts.

What a gem of a tribute from our President to our Sri Lankan team. Being the reigning champions,we were under tremendous pressure to retain the title.But as most the players being inexperienced, we cannot hope big things.
