HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS!!!
SL team has to pull itself together and play a better game than what they displayed recently. They dropped 5 catches, fumbled with the ball and allowed the ball to pass between their legs. Their fielding was so poor, it was painful to watch it! SL was fortunate to win due to weaknesses on Australia team, which I am sure they will correct before they meet SL for the 3rd and final match.
SL has much to improve in fielding and bowling. I hope instead of resting on their laurels and being complacent they will practice hard tomorrow to correct their mistakes. Only those who work hard and practise can achieve victory.
I hope they will play the final match with determination to win, well focused, with best fielding, bowling and batting, with no defeatist attitude.
PLEASE MAKE US PROUD OF OUR TEAM AND TO BE SRI LANKANS!!!
CONGRATULATIONS DEAR MAHELA AND HIS BOYS,
You all have proved that we have the guts and ability to beat the best of best and that also very convincingly.Keep the Lion Flag Flying. We are proud of you.
