I hope tamil tigers beat the crap out of Indian cricket team. As a Pakistani, Ill want any kaafir team to win except India. Never had an Indian best friend, and never will. inshAllah.
WHAT ???? .....I am a tamilian.. Sri Lanka Govt. is anti-tamil.
The Sri Lankan team is not a tamilian team...its Singhalese...I will never support that Sri Lanka.
Murali is the only tamil hero...let him play and take some wickets.
Cricket in Sri Lanka is a wholly Sinhala sports
• There are no functioning cricket clubs in any Tamil area
• Tamil Union Sports Club in Colombo founded over 65 year ago is now a Sinhala dominated club with only Muralidaran as a Tamil player
• No Tamil schools, even outside the conflict areas were promoted and encouraged to play cricket
• P. Saravanamuttu, the Chanmugams, were all during the period of “Ceylon” and after the country became “Sri Lanka” in 1972, Muralidaran and Russel Arnold are the only names to mention.
• Arnold too was never considered a Tamil, coming from a very respectable, Catholic School in Colombo and being more a member of the urban, English speaking middle class than Tamil.
• Even Muslim players are now far in between, with Mubarak and Mahroof being the only players, again coming from very influential Colombo Sinhala schools. In fact Mubarak comes from mixed Sinhala parenthood in the elite Colombo circle.
• No Muslim school is now playing serious cricket. Not even the famous Colombo Zahira College that was long time ago, a very popular sports playing school.
