Against the background of the chaos and corruption of sport in Sri Lanka the first priority is for Aluthgamage himself to resign immediately. How dare he talk of tough decisions. when he shamelessly hangs on to the job that he should have relinquished or been sacked from a long time ago ?

MAY BE THE HON.MINISTER IS THINKING a). OF INTRODUCTION OF SOFT BALL CRICKET INSTEAD OF HARD BALL CRICKET IN SRI LANKA! b). DEPLOYING SRI LANKAN UMPIRES (APPOINTED BY A PSC) FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL MATCHES.etc.etc.!!!

I think our team played well in first test and last test except second test. Please note that last year India was so straggled in bouncing wicket here in Australia we are very much better than India compared to their last year performances I think all our bowlers struggle to get wicket except Rngana
1. Need Vas to couch bowlers
2. Samaraweera should think about his future
3. Need good selecting committee ( Chandimal, Thirimanna batted well than others they were replace for Sanga and Prassanna)

just a suggestion.. all great players start young.. look at Sachin, Ponting, Arjuna, Inzamam, Lara, Chanderpaul and even Mahela.. all started players for the national team when they were in their teens.. players become greats when groomed young.. time to blood in 3 or 4 really young talented players into the national team and let them play alongside the seniors (by this i dont mean dilshan :-) .. but Sanga for sure)... and we need to find the next spinner fast cos Sri Lanka is like the one man army again with Rangana.. about the fast bowlers i think we need to get them to become thinking bowlers rather than pie chuckers.. and we need to try and unearth pacemen who clock around 140k and constantly think and bowl..

Sack all the members of the cricket team and make a team of cricketers from the Parlliament. Then evern if they lose we can still say the Parlimament is supreme and no body can blame them!

Don't blame the players just prepare some fast and bouncy wickets so that the cricketers will get use to playing under such conditions also. Playing on slow surfaces to suit our spinners to win matches at home and baffle the opposition is not going to help to win matches overseas. Avoiding playing against stronger opposition and winning matches against weaker opposition like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh to improve the test cricket rankings this calendar year is not going to help in the long run either.These are the tough decisions that need to be made for the future of Sri Lanka cricket.

Yes. However everyone involved needs to take responsibility and that includes the minister - perhaps, especially the minister. So, is he going to resign?
