CONGRATULATIONS AND kEEP IT UP!.
Well done Lions! Keep up the good work.
Only the Cardboard lions get thrilled after just a speculate worthless “win” by expressing Immature childish instincts but never been real Lions…!
What does this “Win” MEAN to srilankans at the moment…?
Does it reduce 50 cents of oil price or rate against $…?
This “cricket game” used in last 30yrs here to divert attention of people from major issues of srilanka. Cricket played here while terrors killing 1000s of people. Are they become lions by doing so..?
Now ministers are teaching how to survive with Rs2500/…! Will it help to that at least to survive people by watching cricket in their time..?
Haven’t we become slavers of this USELESS game of westerns..? Same as some have been ever fooled to embrace the dirty-fish-like gods myth thrown by westerns..?
I saw a recent news that BOC has agreed to pay millions of public money for cricketers. And then teaches poor people how to survive with Rs 2500/….! Bullshit….!
UNFORTUNATLY there’re IMPRUDENT chaps in srilanka who can be THRILLED OFF by 25cents despite they being 80yrs old….! What a MISERY of this country….?
playing a game of cricket is better than killing. Are you wearing a shirt & trouser from the west. Hope you are wearing it….but deserves a loin cloth…..
It seems that many Jackals are wearing lion cloths today.! That’s why this country still moves astray.!
How much will be the power consumption of a day/night cricket match..? Million units..?!? Then who pay for it..? Ministers or by public money..?
Ministers only advise to save electricity & to survive with Rs. 2500/… Bullshit….!!!
Is there any purpose of cricket which helps to improve the life..? Will it wast the public tax money if the leaders have a SENSE of improving life of people..?
This world is running towards the Ruin & self undoing which the Buddha foretold 2500yrs ago.!
Misguiding & misleading everywhere in the world by what shouldn’t do & not doing what should do…..
This practical & reasonable stand is also a proof that Gods creation view is a MYTH…!
Because it’s well clear that this can’t be a creation of a god who has a combination of “POWER” &
“MERCY” at all..!
1.) If he has Power then he could salvage NOW at least a one man..!
1.) If he has mercy then why let people to suffer under his creation..?
So, the gods creation story is a MYTH folly story which is like cricket. Because cricket has no purpose of life but just the waste of time & money.
Gods myth also has no purpose of life but just the waste of time & money..!
Then both of cricket & gods myth thrown by evil thinking westerns to lead astray..!
..and one more similarity of cricket & gods myth is,
cricket is so popular though it has no purpose of life.!
Gods myth too so popular though it has no purpose of life.!
Truth is Hilarious sometimes…!
