Thilagam anna,
Btw, are you related to G.G.Ponnambalam?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa
Guru,
More on Piyal's insight in to cricketers:
Dilshan's father was a Malay and mother a Budhdhist. Born and brought up in Kalutara. Very useful all rounder. A stylish batsman, a brilliant fielder, a useful off-spinner and is also a wicket keeper. He used to keep for his school and club.
Jehan Mubarak's father is a Muslim and mother Buddhist. A batsman of David Gower mould and an offf spinner and a good fielder. Unfortunately was not lucky with the national team. I doubt it whether he will be bale to make a come back. Jehan is also a national swimmer
His father Aziz Mubarak played cricket for Cambridge and scored 82 against the visiting West Indians in 1980. Upon his return, he was selected for the national team but refused to play for reasons unknown.
As for Maharoof, he was the captian of Sri Lanka under 19 team. Useful medium pacer no doubt but is more useful as batsman than a bowler (scored 246 for Wesley in a college game according to Cricinfo). I do not know whay they promote him as a bowler than a batsman. The guy can one day be a power hitting opener like Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya too played in the middle order for six years before he was promoted as an opener in 1995.
Piyal,
You know Aziz? Where is he now, USA or Sri Lanka? |

Bonngo,
I have played several games with Aziz for CISIR, He was a good bowler and a batsman even 13 years ago.
After Cambridge, he did some work/study in Pakistan, where he used to play Cricket with Imran Khan, I think he knows Imran very well, I've heard of him talking about Imran.
Aziz is the Director of the Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) Formerly known as CISIR.
He was a good professor too... I am not sure if he can remember me, but I know him, a quiet intelligent man, Classic Cricketer. |

Shisya,
i didnt know he scored a double hundred!. infact after sanath is gone maybe they should experiment with him. He comes in under pressure situations and its always HARD to perform.
england well on their way to win against ireland as expected! |

I was in CISIR just for a very brief period before coming here, Just did some RA with Mr. Dayananda. in the Food and Agriculture dept. I was planning to go to IFS, but my dad didn't allow me as the situation was not that good to be alone at that time..
I majored Chemistry in my College. That's it.
But I know a lot about Chemistry as I am in Research field.
I am still interested in Chemistry, I read chemistry; I had good Chemistry teachers. |

Yes, but Ireland is putting up a good show. It seems that Ireland and West Indies are the first to book a berth to elimination from last four.

Guru,
Don't worry SL will be in the semis. Sri Lanka is the better team but as I said must have some luck too. |
