Jailed DNA Leader and former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka said it is the sincere hope of his party that the Sri Lankan cricket team would win the World Cup final and that it would be a victory similar to the Great War victory achieved two years ago.

“It is our wish that the Sri Lankan cricketers would win the final despite he present social, political and economic crisis, “he said issuing a statement.

Chief opposition whip John Amaratunga who conveyed his best wishes to the Sri Lankan cricket team on behalf of the UNP said it is his and the party’s hope that they emerge victorious at tomorrow’s match.

Mr. Amaratunga said the Sri Lankan team has the capability of repeating its feat in 1996 where the team led by Former Captain Arjuna Ranatunga comprehensively beat Australia in Lahore. (Yohan Perera)

He always had a foot & mouth disease. Sports are different from politics. If you lose will you say its Ok India helped us to win the war? typical Sri- Lankan attitude.!!

Sarath,

Do no compare every thing to War victory,,,,, and please don't use your military kit to everything as u did in politics...

Anushka Friday, 01 April 2011 12:09 PM

You're degrading your own victory Mr. Fonseka

JUSTICE Friday, 01 April 2011 12:10 PM

Nothing could compare the victory you bought to our motherland. This rogue regime dwells on others capabilities and skills. A day will come soon where all sri lankans will honour all true heros like SF, Arjuna and Sanga and his team. Please Sanga win this game for the greatest son of our soil... General SF...

Just like the war victory, if Sri Lanka win the world cup, someone else might claim credit for that too.
