Sanath Jayasuriya....

:laugh: should be fun.. but its really dissapointing to see such a great sportsman go to these lows
Politics will continue to be a dirty game unless good people start getting into it. If anything people like Jayasuriya can bring some honest leadership. I think this is a good move by him.

Without having to judge politicians' vs sportsmen's characters, it can objectively be said - for the subcontinent where an MP wanna-be is not too high in the food chain - that sportsmen of Jayasuriya's calibre have had much more exposure to the wider world outside their shores.
It definitely expands your thinking, and since MPs make up committees that influence policies, definitely a good side effect there.

Well done to him!

Strange he's been in india for the last 1.5 months so how'd he manage to do the campaigning and all?

Fair to say he's probably got more press coverage and publicity from his activity in India than he ever could walking through shopping centres and holding babies!

Ha ha perhaps possible, although I am not sure he's done anything spectacular in this IPL so far (played just the 4 games)
