Well done Our Boys of Cricket- Sri-Lanka

Loss in Asia Cup was a rude shock.

Upto this point our guys did well and this id not the end of World Cup.

I think Ceylon Cricket needed some sort of "Shock Treatment" at some stage before the World Cup.

Thank You, India.

I wanted to stop blog pieces here but having seen the incredible win away from home, our boys deserve a few lines, here.

First let me thank our coach, English Silver(man)wood for forming a closely knit unit.

Cricket is a team game, the better team wins.
Let me not Do a SWOTS analysis.
The last S is my addition.

It means SUSTAIN the efforts.

Make wining a Habit.

Few words about Dimuthu K.
Your job is to score 30 runs and take the shine out of the ball.
Anything else is a bonus.

My man of the match is Kusal Mendis.

I enjoyed every stroke and even the runout.
The runout was unfortunate and I do not know how he felt about it.
To me it looked like he sacrificed his 100 for the team.
He was not selfish.

Goodman in the team.

Now about captain Shanaka.
Your  job was to win the game for your mate Kusal.
You did it with a finger nail bite.
Rotating the ballers was your job.
You did it nicely.

Well done.

Think of that man Angelo Mathews, who destroyed our cricket.
He would have taken the full credit of the win to himself. His other weakness, I have written in this blog site.

The bottom line is, if he is playing I refuse to watch Sri-Lankan cricket.

He was pain in the arxxx.

About the rest of the performance of balling and batting, please feel happy as a teammate and everyone contributed to the win.

Every catch, every run saved on the field is a bonus.

But do not try to become a hero on the field and injure yourself.

Every injury keeps you put of the game.

Keep FIT, do not be lazy in the gym.

Let your boss, the coach decides whether you are fit to play on the day of the game.

It is one game at a time.
Precisely one ball at a time.

I saw Wallage for the first time.
Good luck to him.

My only regret is Dinesh Chandimal.
He did a stupid thing, in the past BUT the punishment was inordinately harsh.

What we lost in him, in one day cricket, is a lot BUT he should concentrate on Test Cricket which is very good at.
