It's quite evident that all the "real batsmen" have been sidelined and Namal is doing all the shots.

Calistus Jayatilleke Sunday, 17 October 2010 10:48 AM

Looks like Sana has already reserved his place in the team for the World Cup with his influence with the Rajapakses - big and small!

milli Sunday, 17 October 2010 01:39 PM

Sana's nool mitiya has reduced..... or is it just on his other hand. Hope he doesn't spoil SL's chances of wining the WC.

Saman Sunday, 17 October 2010 01:38 PM

Looks a nice pitch for batting!, Good Luck to our Team in 2011 World Cup.

Sanath says to Namal " Tell them to select me to play in the World Cup as I am a native here and a MP of yours."

Wak Perera Sunday, 17 October 2010 11:18 AM

Oh! Sri Lanka Cricket! Are you planing to make Hambanthota the next Lords Cricket Ground as the ruling Lords of Lanka involved as shown in these pics.

Aiyo Aiyo Sunday, 17 October 2010 11:16 AM

What is better ? Build a stadium in the south or a few more houses in the North ?

Des Sunday, 17 October 2010 11:14 AM

Ground facilities dont seem to be even 20% complete, how on earth will they have world cup matches there in Feb 2011. such a waste of public funds when there are so many grounds in Colombo which could be converted to international standards.

Tharaka Chanaka Sunday, 17 October 2010 11:14 AM

Show Off!

Appuhamy Sunday, 17 October 2010 11:14 AM

May I know the price of that watch ?

Tharaka Chanaka Sunday, 17 October 2010 11:07 AM

At least we know the IMF massive loans given are well spent building stadiums ONLY in Hambantota.

Tuan Mohamed Sunday, 17 October 2010 10:58 AM

Sana: Don't worry Malli we will the Cup for the 2nd time.
