This clearly showed Sri Lankans are becoming more violent like the SLPP politicians.

The only way to stop this kind of disgraceful violence after a big match is to believe in the importance of CASTE and CLASS and the need to become discriminatory. Thus restrict the big matches to only the traditional private schools(excluding international schools) in COLOMBO, JAFFNA, and KANDY.

When I was young my father always said, "It's not who won or lost, but how you played the game" comes to mind. Basic respect to sport is missing due to I guess a win at all cost policy of the people who play and watch sport now days.
