Yes it is may be a copy of Indian style, but still it is worth, why you also copied from English your dresses. if some thing good and benefit from others, please copy it, nothing wrong on it.

I am wonder who has given these names for teams, could not find better names than this. See how IPL team names. Idiots in this organization committee.

Jagath Leanage Sunday, 12 August 2012 09:26 AM

Nagenahira = "Eastern"
Nagas = "Snake" ('Cobra' to be precise)

So its like saying "Eastern Cobras".

@Kosgoda don't show your ignorance here. Its sad Sri Lankans doesn't understand this. Non of the developed nations allow cheap, law quality Indian products to be imported and even China has different quality standard when importing to developed nations. What I am try to say is, at least try to produce goods in SL than importing these law quality Indian products. Their services also the same. If the SL wants to develop, quality will play a huge role and as a example just look at low quality coal power plant we have now? This is because politians looking for better commission than quality. Anyway I have write enough and up to Sri Lankan people to do whatever you deemed fit. Although we lived in far away we just feel sad how things moving after the war. Although I decided not to comment here, thought my response would be good. Cheers!!

As a Buddhist I'll have to give up practicing Buddha Dhamma discovered by (an Indian ) the Lord Buddha.

The whole world was watching!

Dasun Sunday, 12 August 2012 05:41 AM

Good thing is young players show the talent yesterday.especialy Eranga,pradeep , mathews as a captain. So bit boring though not a bad effort

notheking Sunday, 12 August 2012 05:33 AM

DM admin, don;t dance tune to these Indian events. have a national interest at least. Boycott ....Indians services and good. Use your media to educate Sri Lakan against these dirty Indians . Just look at quality of Indian products we buy in SL? Can't we manufacture them in SL with better quality? Start using media wisely. Just don't lick Ranil or Rajapasse ....to gain few bucks. Put national interest first at least. Im really fed up reading these stupid news items and this could be my last comment.

prasanna Sunday, 12 August 2012 05:15 AM

Even I cannot understand the meaning. funny names..no meaning at all....

Raja Sunday, 12 August 2012 04:55 AM

Why you want to watch useless talk-shows of bogus heroes? that can't earn a cent outside this Country.

4 top all-rounders haven't been included in this tournament though one may find dozen of very average local players in these teams who are either very close relatives or friends of officials and senior players. e.g. Umesh Karunarathna the Best Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year 2008 with a 1st Cl Bat Ave 35.91 & Bow.Ave. 18.01. Other notable omissions are Geeth Kumara, Geeth Alwis and Chathuranga de Silva with 1st Cl Bat Ave & 1st Cl Bow Ave : 32.13& 26.73; 36.05 &26.47 & 34.28 & 24.33 respectively. A very many brilliant schoolboy Cricketers of recent times also were ignored in order to make way for some aging local Cricketers in their late 30s & early 40s which serves no purpose.

Jena Sunday, 12 August 2012 02:42 AM

Guys, I am a Sri Lankan.. but a Tamil from Batticalo.. I could not get what actually 'Nagenahira Nagas' means ? Can anyone tell me the meaning of it ?

Kautilya Sunday, 12 August 2012 02:38 AM

Who cares.

RegularJoe Saturday, 11 August 2012 09:03 PM

Good bowling by Eranga. Really impressed.

Ronald Saturday, 11 August 2012 06:12 PM

Ruwan W. Saturday, 11 August 2012 05:53 PM
