Asantha De Mel’s got kerosene oil in his brain…

Becoming the chairman of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation seems to have gone to Asantha De Mel’s head. He did the dumbest thing by contradicting Mahela and saying that Sri Lanka rested Vaas and Murali to hide them from the Australians for the final.

He sent out an unnecessary message to the world that Sri Lanka is taking the final for granted.

Seems like the Diesel price hike and the World Cup is too much for him to take…

Malinga Injured....Bad Scene

This isn't good news for Sri Lanka, Murali also doesn't seem to be 100%. Lets hope for the best...

South African commentators in poor taste

It was disappointing to see Barry Richards and Daryll Cullinan – South Africa’s key commentators for this World Cup offering pitiful excuses for their defeat and demeaning Bangladesh’s victory.

Richards said that the South Africans were unhappy due to poor facilities being provided for practice which caused low morale and resulted in a defeat. Cullinan went on to say that the Bangladeshi’s won by luck which I thought was a pathetic statement.

India’s Sivaramakrishnan and Manjerekar were much more gracious in giving a verdict on India’s defeat to the Bangladeshi’s.

Richards who seemed to be an unbiased well rounded commentator suddenly has become like the Ian Botham of South Africa. These guys are after all the voice of their country in this World Cup.
