Terrible if true.

"Former Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage needs to take his “evidence” to the ICC and the Anti Corruption and Security Unit so the claims can be investigated throughly.
It is baffling that he waited so long to open up about something this serious in such a casual manner.
If memory serves well, he was the then Sports Minister too."

Looks pretty certain now that the 2011 World Cup will have to be disavowed. Never happened. Along with the 2019 World Cup due to the indecisive finish. It's a damn shame.

Can't wait for migara's take on this

So...australia won 4 on the trott. Excellent.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I dunno, is match fixing really worse than state-sponsored PED usage?

 

[trundler]

Big if tru

Lol @ anyone taking a politician's salty views as anything close to reality.

Didn't Ranatunga call for a formal investigation?

 

[Line and Length]

I'd prefer proven facts to a politician's words.

Aren't those two things mutually exclusive?

 

[honestbharani]

Then why did you start this thread?

 

[Victor Ian]

? Isnt that his point.

What i have learnt today is that there is a good chance Ranatunga or
Mahindananda is probably Migara.

Isn't he a politician now?


I really dunno what is sadder - the politicians trying to get their names out there in headlines with these ridiculous claims, the channel that tries to buy some hits by reporting such things...



EDIT: removed unnecessary and unfair harsh comment

You were doing fine until the bolded.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, it was unnecessarily harsh.. will remove it. Lockdown does not put me in a great mood.

 

[trundler]

Didn't Pakistan show the rest of the world electing sportsmen is a huge mistake? The mingling of sport and politics in SL is beginning to rival Zimbabwe. Woeful.

Strip India of the title like we stripped Melbourne Storm after the salary cap stuff I say

The worst bit about this thread was coming into It and not seeing it was about England.

The brst bit was that i am allowed to edit here.
