Let's refer this to the third umpire and he will make a TV decision after which the USUAL game goes on.

This shows that the minister has no idea of what he is talking about. There is far more corruption outside than in the cricket board. DM once accused SLT of being corrupt when he was minister for telecommunications when he couldn't give jobs to his stooges because the Japanese CEO refused it. This may be a similar case. The police are obviously corrupt. But most corrupt are customs, courts (specially magistrates), harbour and even offices like BOI which have been repeatedly exposed. The SLCB is far down in the list. What is the minister going to do about it?

Mr.Ratnayake nseems to be a very honest politician.I do not even know this gentleman. But for him to come and openly say , it is great. But my feeling is in Sri Lanka if you are honest you have no support. Honest politicians do not stay for long. Keep up the good work Mr. Ratnayake.
