Angelo Mathews and the craziest ball of the 2019 World Cup – Andrew Fidel Fernando at Chester-le-Street Source: CricInfo Gather round, kiddos. Let me tell you a story about Sri Lankan cricket. What would you like to hear? The story about how Dimuth Karunaratne, who hadn’t played ODI cricket for four years, became captain for the 2019 World Cup. Ah, that is a good one. Crazy, no? Unbelievable even. All the things you want in a good story. Or what about the tale of the Sri Lankan selectors who picked about five wrong players in a squad of 15 for the tournament? That is not that hard to believe, I suppose, but it’s not bad as well. But actually, lamayi, the one I’m thinking about is even better than those two. It’s dramatic. It’s funny. It’s colourful. It is hauntingly sad and fabulously uplifting at the same time. Like ...

Angelo Mathews – By Duncan Jayawardena (Former SriLanka Basketball Captain) As a fellow sportsman, I feel really sad for what all of us so called sportsmen of SriLanka especially the cricketers collectively rejected you from the game you loved and cherished so much, in your prime. They talked about fitness. bad leadership, may be disloyalty and many other adverse traits which were counted against you. In my honest opinion I know that you do not belong to any of those so called grimy categories which you have been accused of. You are a real sportsman who is very loyal to the game , the Board of Cricket and Srilanka as a whole. Fortunately for our great cricketing heroes, Arjuna Ranatunge, Kumar Sangakkara , not forgetting Duleep Mendis had their loyal and dedicated teammates rallying around them to support them to the utmost. They too had their shares of problems with ...
