Lankanumberone: Why drag Sanga's fluency in English into this forum. When one listens to some cricketers who play in the international arena, such as those from Pakistan, on TV they openly display their lack of English knowledge and against them our Sanga is the best and a real pride for all Sri Lankans, Perhaps, Lankanumberone might be secretly wishing that someone like Gel Wimal will represent Sri Lanka to make the whole world laugh at us.

They are great gentlemen the decision taken was quite correct under the present situation even if they played they will not be able to perform at their best do due to the political interference. I salute your decision.

Still I find no answer to the question, Why the world renowned Sri Lankan openers did not score in the first 5 overs. It is unbelievable.
