This is the type of welcome we expected and we are extremely happy they received what they deserved.
We are overwhelmed. Thank you all. Well done!

Great to see the reception accorded, and well deserved too.The game was played in a true sporting manner and the better side won,Wouldn’t it be a grand gesture to donate half of the prize money to the Pakistan flood victims who have been absolutely devastated by the recent calamity.

This the problem right here. We start treating them like gods and arrogance corrupt their heads. You don't see Australians or English doing these sort of things unless its a world cup winning.

Sri Lanka is lucky that india didn't seem to be interested in the Asia cup and lost to both Pakistan and Sri Lanka winning the Asia Cup 7 times before to Sri Lanka's 6 and Pakistan's 2 . Their focus seemed to be the big one starting next month the T20 World Cup in Australia. Unlike the Asia Cup which is played by only 5 cricket playing countries in Asia the T20 world cup comprises 12 top nations from around the globe
