Janaki Kalansuriya Friday, 13 December 2013 12:28 PM

Congratulations to both you brilliant sportsmen. But be careful, the king will see an opportunity to have you seemingly be helping sport under him. Sanath's ill fame will certainly come your way too, if you get political.

RUKSHAN FERNANDO Friday, 13 December 2013 01:34 PM

Congratulations Sanga and Mahela. All the best for many more runs in the matches ahead.

ManThillekerathne Friday, 13 December 2013 11:30 AM

As so many test matches cancelled, by Nishantha, he missed the test award.

Both of them deserve their awards. They are gentleman and always keep away from dirty politics. They don't stoop down to low level like many of our prominent cricketers. Well Done.

Manoj Boteju Friday, 13 December 2013 11:54 AM

Yes, Jayalalitha and Karunanidhi paid a few bucks so us Sri Lankans could win trophies in the international stage and show you morons that we are and have always been better than the Indians.

Ravin Friday, 13 December 2013 12:07 PM

Kohli please understand that you're just a flat wicket bully.
