Ranatunga jibes.
Perhaps IPL gave a good chance to Dilshan and Malinga to prove their worth as T20 players and their utility to SL in WT20 is evident to one and all. Perhaps Ranatunga watches it with different eyes. He forgets that the captain and ex-captain of SL along with SJ fought hard for Lankans playing in IPL and the effect is evident in the campaign of SL this WT20. Contrast that with the lone T20 SL played before WT20 against India and compare form of Dilshan then and now. The IPL would make hell lot of difference.
Again, I would be curious to know Ranatungs’s views on T20 if SL wins today. Will it be still Maggie noodles for him or a full fledged main course?
Some lads like Ranatunga, Miandad and Imran Khan just want to gain some limelight and IPL gives them easy way to do so. Jokers!!
SL snubs Pakistan too ??
That’s what you call double catastrophe. After royale Indian snub, most likely Lankans are also planning to drop Pakistan in lurch……All cos Arjuna Ranatunga was sacked. Good idea right now for Pakistan would be to have a domestic cricket tourney with ex-international players led by Shoaib Malik, the ICL dump led by Inzamam Ul Haq and terrorist team led by anybody out of LeT or Huji or any militant organization flourishing in Pakistan………
.Srilanka is unlikely to tour Pakistan with authorities reconsidering the decision of sacked Cricket Board Chairman Arjuna Ranatunga to support India’s stance of not touring that country following the recent terror attacks in Mumbai “We follow a pro-India policy. We know the circumstances in which the Indian tour to Pakistan was called off. The tour (of Sri Lanka to Pakistan) is unlikely,” top sources said. When contacted, Sri Lankan Sports and Recreation Minister Gamini Lokuge said he would hold discussions with the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa on the issue. “We are reconsidering the decisions taken by Arjuna Ranatunga,” Lokuge said adding that the Foreign Ministry would also be consulted on the proposed
tour.
And this is not worse, ICL and IPL are also planning to dump Pakistani players out of their leagues…..So no cricket for them!!! All their bloggers could do is have a wishful thinking of a fight between Sachin or Dravid and Dhoni or Yuvraj………….
GOD save Pakistan cricket and may it provide some relief to the beleaguered PCB with some decent cricket………May be invite BD for a Test series or Zimbabwe for an ODI series…..
Ranatunga vs BCCI
For sure this move has enraged BCCI. And now can Arjuna Ranatunga depend on BCCI to help SLC bailing out of the financial crunch it is in ? What would he do to get dollar notes ?
Suicidal move I guess. And now BCCI would have SLC as its deadmeeat. One more blame in BCCI’s feather. Some bodies are always meant for being jinxed and doomed. BCCI is one of them. Unfortunately here BCCI would win hands up over willy old fox.
Interesting off the field battles ahead.
