    playing for the love of the game despite not getting paid has created a positive attitude and love of fun atmosphere a win is a bonus making the spectator love the moment . I suppose that is what sports is all about .

    Dilshan is a very good in his game but the gradual rise in form demonstrates good leadership. Cheers Mahela.
