@ANTON and @ala Government and SLC finally speak up about it. They fully fund is defense against the allegation maker/Australian government/courts! Danushka represents Sri Lanka! You loud, all capital letter users are total traitors who don't understand what good and justice are. Maybe you should follow gadu, because you don't understand how cricket works even.

How did he manage to stay on in Australia when injured. Others were sent back. Why is he still selected despite so many clashes with authority? Has he got a Godfather in SLC or in government?

This is not murder, a woman agreed to have sex with a man in her own home but then changed her mind at the last minute but he did not stop. But out of anger she may have exaggerated as to what happened after she told him to stop. Now, it is time for Lawyers. Once upon a time Sri Lanka had top criminal lawyers they would have flown to defend him in the Australian court. Nowadays Sri Lanka has only third rate lawyers. He needs a good Lawyer to break the case.

People like you are what's wrong in sri lanka. Yes the woman did go home with him but the moment she said "no", he should've stopped. It doesn't matter if it was some random chick he met somewhere or his legit partner. Sex without consent is "rape". You are a moron for approving his acts.

Only Lawyers in Australian practioners registry can appear not others. Therefore, no need to send Lawyers from SL. Sydney SL Consulate could assist in getting a barrister for him

Shelly Belly Monday, 07 November 2022 04:24 PM
@Lawyer I agree to an extent. He may be having many issues and controversies. But it does not mean the man is guilty of rape. Let the facts come out. Any woman can bring this claim against a man which is what happend with the #meetoo movement. Many men were brought to disrepute and their careers ended because of false accusations by unscrupulous women who wanted to make money through victim's compensation. No one knows what transpired in her home between the two of them. It is he said/she said and is only assumptions and rumors about at this stage. So let the truth come to light and know that if you are a man this could have been you in this position of being accused by a woman and if you are a woman know that you could have a male loved one in this situation being accused for something he did not do. Be quick to hear and slow to speak.

Australian Woman Lawyer Monday, 07 November 2022 11:07 AM
The purported Lawyer thinks Australia is Sri Lanka, where marital rape is not an offence. You cannot fix criminal cases through connections in Australia. Rape is rape. Every sexual act must have consent. Even a sex worker has right in Australia.

Don Monday, 07 November 2022 11:09 AM
One guy is talking about taking action against on this. Another is saying it was not a crime. This represents the cross section of society. Danushka might have thought Australia is like Sri Lanka and any crime can be swept under the carpet using power and money. I want to see full force of law applied here and give him maximum punishment to give signal to others. Male in SL think girls are toys.

If Danushka can get out of dirty Australia he will be protected by our aw from having to go back to Australian Kangaroo court. The details of falsely made allegations by scorned woman are kept secret in their closed (Kangaroo) court. We don't do anything like that unless for National Security. Already I think Danushka allegation maker is potential terrorist against our cricket! Our cricket victories are more important than Australian woman! Our public value our winning more than concerns of scorned overseas citizen - white woman.

Keep away from all kind of speculation on this case... don't try accuse our cricket player alone ..he has done some thing good for this country..do not just blame him alone blindly..we need to read all the contexts and contextually..I'm not supporting him at all ..if he has done something wrong he must be punished but if he is innocent we can not let this ( crafty) girl get away with it .. Ask some basic qualifications about this incident? Who initiated it ? Did he go to her house without any invitation? Who asked him to go her house ? Did he goes willingly? Who started the dating ? Did she consent to have sex ? If so with what conditions?. It looks he has be conned by her on this? How come she agreed for sex and then she come up with this false claim .. It appears she wants to have just protected sex .?but the cricketer did not agree to use any condemn at that time ..if this is the case;.we may need to give some new definitions for the act of sex...with protection without protection.

This man with a bad record at home as a sex offender, no doubt he will be in lot of trouble in Sydney. His career would be in shambles. Lack of cultural knowledge, being overconfident and a smaller brain with no thinking ability may have gotten him in this mess. With a criminal record in books future travel even on a vacation will remain a dream for him. Money can only get you to the top, it wont keep you there.

He has got away from the same offence in Sri Lanka. This is Australia. Furthermore even if it's a prostitute you cannot rough them up and have sex to fulfill your fantasies against her wishes. In this case she only wanted safe sex which he refused and forcibly had sex with her using force. This is acceptable at all. With his history of sexual violence unless a agreement is made with the woman, very sorry for him.

SLC team Manager and other staff who were responsible on the player management in tour should be resigned immediately. SLC send more than dozen management staff - what have they been doing? Pls resign or sack them immediately. For the player involved - do not worry Australia law enforcement authorities will do the right thing, they are not a corrupted system as in our country. All we can do is wait

Some comments ask why authorities kept him so long as a passenger after injury. This cricketer's previous behavior falls in line with Rajapaksha politics that trust and prolong such men and women for Asian wonders. Next time they will 'hit the cup' without going thru qualifying stage. If you don't agree, do unarmed aragala for a full turnaround in all sectors of the country under a just leadership.
