Former Sri Lanka cricket captain Mahela Jayawardane today said that he will check with Thilanga Sumathipala before reacting to any comment in future.

“I am sorry next time we will check with him before reacting and wearing the hats since he has vast experience on the subject matter,” Mahela tweeted in response to a statement made by former Sri Lanka Cricket President Thilanga Sumathipala

Earlier Mr. Sumathipala said “I don’t know why some cricketers are worried over former sports minister Mahindanada Aluthgamage’s claims on match fixing; if they are not involved in it, why (do) they worry.”

I am sorry next time we will check with him before reacting and wearing the hats since he has vast experience on the subject matter

A good one for the bookie man and the missing link in Darwin's theory of evolution.

A cheeky reaction from one of the prima donnas who thinks there are no other cricket talent in the country beside he and equally repugnant his buddy

Ha haa...good answer to bookie owner. Will sumathipala keep quite if a member of his family is accused of something? Mahela queried as a member of the team. He has all the right. All goons of SLPP

Our brand of Cricketers are gentlemen and they will think twice before tarnishing the image of our country. Now the minister needs some propaganda for his election campaign. Three weeks before he delivered a bomb shell for the Kuwaiti SriLankans. Now he is trying with Cricketers.

It is not about players being worried if they are not involved. If any member of the team is involved, it affects the whole team and senior players have the right to call for proper investigations when the Minister makes such allegations.

Please do not jump in to conclusions yet. None of us believed players like Azarudeen, Hansi Cronje would have been involved in match fixing in their loving game, until it was proved during the formal inquiry.

Mahala and Kumar you both made a mistake the first thing you should have done when these match fixing came out you should have shut your mouths don't say anything silence is golden rule do not get on involved at this time if you are innocent but we never know how this will turn out?????

I just cannot understand the remark of Thilanga Sumathipala ..when a minister makes flippant accusations its the team leaders who react on behalf of the team to clear the name. ..for cricket indeed is a team game .Mahela and Sanga are most unlike other leaders who shrug their shoulders when questioned on the leaders role ...

These politicians are the people who ruined our Cricket. Shameless people to contest again and again under different umbrellas everytime. And barking like white handed. Mahela and Sanga are the most liked cricketers beyond any boarders.

This message is for Mr. Gotabaya Rajapakse. We need you to govern this country. The goons like Sumathipala, Mahindananda, Karuna you can not go on this journey. These guys are loose cannons and idiots. Please ask them to shut their filthy mouths and let SLPP to win the majority and you to have correct people to govern this country. This is the last chance we have. Please act on this immediately.

I do no understand why they are making a big fuzz over 2011 world cup. Ok we could have won that match . Last world cup could have been won by New Zealand. So what happened. In a game sport there are winners and losers. Some teams may have better mental strength and capability to win but they could still loose if there was no luck on that day. So stop wasting time. This guy Mahindagamege is a politician who does not have a good track record of making decent statements. Ignore these stupid guys. Mahela and Sanga, when you lost the match in 2011 I was angry at both of you. But understand and accepted the loss. After you 2 guys, there has not been any noticeable player for Sri Lanka who are now in the bottom of all rankings.

People need to give a fitting reply to Sumathipala and Mahindananda at the elections. The whole country is with Mahela, Sanga, Malinga, Murali at el.

IN THE FIRST PLACE WHY DID THE FORMER SPORTS MINISTER MAKE THE COMMENT WHEN PLAYERS ARE NOT INVOLVED. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT NO ONE FIX A MATCH WITHOUT THE PARTICIPATION PLAYERS. LIKE A JOCKEY IS INVOLVED IN HORSE RACING. ITS NOT NECESSARY TO APOLOGISE TO POLITICIANS

Is Mahela simply cracking a sarcastic joke or is he serious to say this to a racing 'bookie'.

Mahela surrendered,will see what the response from Sanga on the other matters.
