Top Spin By Suni January 11th 2012 Sri Lanka cricket fans in all probabilities were left with a sick feeing in their stomachs as Sri Lanka was steamrolled by the Proteas in clinical fashion today!

Insight By Sunil Kumar January 8th  2012 There is no room for  the tolerance of thuggery and criminality in the offices of power in any capacity of the Administration of a Democratic Nation and an affront to the title  Socialist Democratic Republic  if some of its members choose to indulge in it, given the actions of [...]

Howzatt! By Doosra Sammy January 5th 2012  The Durban win obviously  appears to be a flash in the pan where the woes of  the Sri Lankan Cricketers are beginning to seem insurmountable as they teeter towards a second humiliating defeat. Not only do they have to put up with the intimidations of wimps like Steyn and Philander who [...]

Top Spin By Suni December 29th 2011 Contrary to their critics~ Kepler Wessels and Alan Donald in particular and those ‘ little chirpers’ in some of the post write up comments in the Cricinfo columns, the Durban Test was as one-sided as it ever has been from a  Proteas’ perspective in that they wereon the losing side [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar Dec.22nd 2011Something the Brits left behind as a disgusting vestige of a damning tradition regardless of how the pundits view it !

Insight By Sunil Kumar December 19th. 2011  The recent trend of deporting so called refugees or Asylum Seekers on the part of Britain attests to many transparencies on the part of these individuals presently being viewed as not being legit or kosher enough to substantiate and uphold their claims and that their sob stories about oppression [...]

Howzat! By Doosra Sammy December 20th 2011   The Sri Lankans were bashed at Centurion on a wicket well doctored to suit  the likes of Steyn and Philander, the bragging rights of the likes of Kepler Wessels and Alan Donald who has now joined the party  will prevail at the top rung if not countered with [...]

Howzat! By Doosra Sammy December 18thth 2011 While it is sometimes distressing to watch Sri Lanka’s cricketers toil against almost every opposition they face in recent times where the ongoing Test in South Africa is no exception it is becoming painfully obvious that the panacea to their woes must surely lie in a thorough cleanup of [...]

Howzat?? By Doosra Sammy November 25th 2011 While this may be interpreted by some, particularly Pakistani supporters that it portrays sour grapes perhaps Sri Lanka may not have been obligated to be condescending and conciliatory towards helping Pakistan regain lost composure on the World Cricket Arena as they have been virtually ostracised by many other [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar November 24th. 2011  It seems somewhat incomprehensible that conventional wisdom with an awareness that seems to bypass the minds of anti-givernment elements not surprisingly  seems sadly lacking in those who continue their campaign to falsely promote anti Government propaganda at the behest of the global Tamil Diaspora and never seem to relent their false [...]

Top Spin By Suni November 21th 2011 The signs of weariness, underperformance and indifference  are definitely showing in the Sri Lankan team beaten comprehensively by Pakistan in the Test Series and now the ODI’ s in Dubai , Sharjah and the Emirates per se  so who’s making excuses this time?  Little wonder that someone has remarked after the latest [...]

Top Spin By Suni November 4th 2011 The recent high court verdict of ” guilty !” returned by the presiding judge in the Spot Fixing Allegations case seems as though he was hell bent on convicting the Pakustanis onvolved regardless of many principles involving fairplay and justice.

Insight By Sunil Kumar November 4rd. 2011 Thanks to the Present Administration of H.E. Mahinda Rajapaksa the Tamil Tigers have been completely eliminated in Sri Lanka and in all probabilities will never re- surge or re- emerge in Sri Lanka which is a fair conclusion given everything that has transpired to ensure this from the [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar Oct.29th. 2011It seeems somewhat mind boggling that the USA which has officially banned the LTTE has permitted the US State department officials in Washington to meet and discuss what they say is the current situation in Sri Lanka with the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) globally known as a former LTTE proxy [...]

Top Spin By Suni October 28th 2011  It needs to be asked again as in the previous Top Spin ~” Is there some  wretched decision making at the highest level in Sri Lanka Cricket that has contributed to the lacklustre performances of the Lankans in the current series  first at Abu Dhabi and now in Dubai?” It may [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar Oct.26th. 2011 If all the world leaders listened to the apathetic pleas of those calling to indict Sri Lanka’s President each time he travels abroad on official matters, in the manner The Australian Tamil community has done, it would not only be a rank breach of international protocols but also disregard [...]

Top Spin By Suni October 21st 2011   Is there some  wretched decision making at the highest level in Sri Lanka Cricket that has contributed to the present woes of the Lankans in Dubai, or is it the long layoff where the players have basked in the glory of past successes and the sun of course and [...]

In Hindsight By Sarath Kumara October16th 2011 This Associated Free Press item posted on the World Wide Web and copied to LankaWeb throws amazing insight into the American double standard  relative to the calls to investigate Sri Lanka for War Crimes and crimes against humanity when the USA too seems so full of tangible errors blatantly [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar October 8th 2011 If all the dangerous criminals in the world were set free on compassionate grounds before serving their semtences and rehabilitation thereafter, the world would surely be a dangerous placce to live in. The world must never forget the terrible crimes these individuals and their ilk contributed to through decades of [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar October 3rd 2011 As posted October 01,  from London, in the Sri Lanka Guardian, a writer by name of  Pearl Thevenayagam has bold asked “ What do Tamara Kunanayakam, Douglas Devananda and Dayan Jayetilleka have in common?” she then goes on to suggest that “ None of these know their identity. Tamara is certainly not [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar Sept.30th 2011 It used to be a case of lies, innuendo and fabrications presented by clever albeit crooked defence attorneys in many parts of the world which often was the redemption of terrorists and criminals on the run seeking havens in places which tolerated them. It was a shameful practice which was [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar Sept.23rd 2011 Just as anticipated in a previous submission the above mentioned issue has been given the justice it deserved~ poetic perhaps!~ as Australia’s Senate probably aware of the pro LTTE sympathetic undercurrents related to the issue has stood firm and rejected the call citing it as involving complex issues which [...]

Insight By Sunil Kumar Sept 15th 2011 Once again it needs to be reiterated that the Government of Sri Lanka should not be dictated to in any way by the TNA simply because the Tamil Diaspora paints them as legitimate politicians and some world leaders buy their lines despite somewhat curiously their countries banning the [...]

Top Spin By Suni September 14th 2011 So much for the Aussie bragging about steam rolling the Lankans as Sri Lanka proved through their performance at Pallekelle despite the niggle of the first innings tally that they had the potential to counter them and face their best.

Top Spin By Suni September 4th 2011  There was no denying this Aussie win at Galle as crushing despite shades of glory by individual performances by Sri Lanka both with the bat and ball sans the zip needed by Skip Dil where even his Dilscoop seems t have deserted him and taken up by others, [...]

 In Retrospect By Sarath Kumara September 3rd 2011 The shocking revelation that Adele Balasingham, the wife of late LTTE theoretician, Anton Balasingham reputed to have had a hand im many of the attrocities committed by the LTTE and fashioning the concept of the Cyanide Capsule to moot, has now curiously deserted the LTTE taking [...]
