    Thanks for the advice.

    Jayawardene - a class act

    Yes, Mahela is def. a class act. Seems comfortable in his skin, again!. He is an attacking captain, but lost some of his gut feel instincts whilst he had a temp loss of form. Glad that he is back to his best. Sanga, Moody and Mahela formed a very close clique as the brains trust for the past...

    Ironic ICC Comedy - Board Falls on Speed

    Ironic ICC Comedy - Board Falls on Speed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst Malcolm Speed apologises for the shambolic final, a board falls on him. Ironic, huh! (30th April 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQunavnAFkE

    Any other NZ fans still ****ed off?

    Lostman, thanks for the video clip. Fiery, Murali was confident he caught it...in fact he used "definitely" in his response. One think to note is that most of these Lankans do not speak fluent English...Murali is much improved in this respect over the past few years, but still thinks and has to...

    Any other NZ fans still ****ed off?

    Even after many replays, the commentators could not conclude either way if the catch was taken or not. Murali, in his post match interview, was absolutely sure that he had taken it...hence why he appealed, and quite rightly so. This Lankan team plays with a high level of sportsmanship...look at...

    Final.

    Congrats - Australia deserved its win. They were the best team in the cup, and today, Gilly's innings was the difference. The Lankan boys played well and can hold their heads high - we are proud of their achievements. Gilly rode his luck well (lots of nicks, several dropped & near catches) to...

    Final.

    Best wishes to Australia....you may need it today against this talented Lankan side. Go the Lankans...we can do it, again! The weather in Barbados is "reasonable, with a nice breeze and a few distant clouds this morning" according a sms from a contact of mine a few mts ago on the ground. So...

    Final.

    I am a proud Lankan....the Aussies are top dog....but this Lankan team has the firepower to beat them and win another cup for the rest of the cricketing world.

    Final.

    "Win or lose, Sri Lanka will return home heroes. On arrival in Colombo, a motorcade will take them to Independence Square, and thousands of fans are expected to line the route. In a region where players are abused and their houses stoned merely because they 'failed' in a final, the Sri Lankan...

    Final.

    The team are all Sri Lankans first, and play with a sense of utmost unity....Arnold and Murali just happen to be tamil....Maharoof is muslim, Dilshan is half muslim/sinhalese...etc etc. Cricket is a unifying force in Sri Lanka. Even the Tamil Tigers watch the cricket...and there is supposed to...

    Final.

    Good post. We Lankans are all cricket crazy. For an overseas person to understand this level of interest, you will need to combine the support for cricket, rugby, AFL together. But the defining feature of Lankan cricket support is that its "still a game", not a life or death situation. We handle...

    Six of the Best Games - Aus vs SL Rivalry

    I was at this game. Although Murali did go for 99 that day, his bowling was OK....its just that everything that Ponting and Symonds hit came off...and quite a few mi****s landed in no mans land. SL were leading the finals 1-0. At one stage, SL had Aus 10-3....then around 15/3, Ponting was...

    Final.

    Its unlikely that Mahela kept him waiting deliberately....but he would have observed Ponting's obvious discomfort and Mahela is astute enough to use it to his advantage. Re bounce, as per my prior post, Barbados is not the WACA or Brisbane...as much as Ponting and Macgrath would like to build...

    Final.

    Agree with your point of view here. One small point - Dilhara is dropped, Maharoof is def. playing. See BBC video clip at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wibXYfyERY

    Final.

    Aus are favourites....the pitch is expected to favour them with bounce (but in reality, it will be low/slow in the second innings)...they are in the form of their lives....could keep going on. But, Aus have not been tested yet - bcos they have been too good. SL on the other hand have come thru...
