This is a very good occasion for Sri lanka to seize peace and should not reject totally like mad dogs.

We should understand ( as said by UNP ) that the war can not be last reply for sri Lanka and will only destroy the people and the remaining economy of this island.

So the Asian countries should press the sri lankan authorities to accept and stop this war for a political settlement.

Sinhalese leaders led by JVP should understand that they can not solve this problem by defeating Mr.Prabhakaran only but they have to defeat the whole Tamil population of this world whihc is impossible for sinhalese people of 17 millions.

We need peace.

Will Mr. Gothabaye Rajapaksh be ready to remove all military personals and military hardwares from tamil areas within 48 hours in exchange of asking LTTE to disarm and surrender????

Is he reqdy to remove all sinhalese immigrants from all tamils areas specially in Trincomalee where all these sinhalese peo le were brought by arm forces to occupy lands belong to tamils?

Will mr.Sarath be ready disarm himself and declare peace with Tamils?

Are sinhalese ready to live with Tamils by removing all their arm forces from all Tamil areas?

Peace or war, it is left to the military gouvernment or co ntinue this war for another 25 years.

Sidath as new Manager!

By Ranil Prematilake

Speculation was rife last evening of the probability of appointing Sidath Wettimuny as the Manager of the Sri Lanka cricket team. Wettimuny who relinquished his post of President of the Players Association only a few days ago would in such event fill in the void created by the refusal of the Minister of Sports to ratify the appointment of Hashan Tillekeratne to the said post. The explanation given by the Minister on Tillekeratne s involvement with politics, when applied retorically to the office of the interim head of the establishment, in Arjuna Ranatunge a member of Parliament himself leaves the consideration bordering on hypocricy.

Nevertheless Tillekeratne still remains in the picture with discussions progressing with the Minister on the basis of Tillekeratne doing a Voluntary job and an amicable settlement to the issue looked positive.

Wettimuny a respected figure not only in the local cricketing circles but also globally should in the eventuality find himself in a situation where there would be a conflict of interest by virtue of him being a member of the sports governing interim body. The chaotic plight of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) falling under the purview of the trade union stalwart and now Minister of Sports Gamini Lokuge looks as if is heading towards more troubled waters, having in mind the cancellation of the TAJ TV deal. However reliable sources revealed that a claim by TAJ would encompass minimal financial lossess due to the fact of prospective lossess read with the other applicable clauses of the agreement favouring SLC.

Also doing rounds at the cricket headquarters last evening was the possibility of the infamous B.H. Perera being appointed Manager of the Sri Lankan Cricket team.

Saintclair,

Choose your words carefully. Prabhakaran and the LTTE knew what they were getting into when they paved the way for an extreme government to gain power.
We should understand ( as said by UNP ) that the war can not be last reply for sri Lanka and will only destroy the people and the remaining economy of this island.

True. But why did the LTTE want the UNP out of government?
Sinhalese leaders led by JVP should understand that they can not solve this problem by defeating Mr.Prabhakaran only but they have to defeat the whole Tamil population of this world whihc is impossible for sinhalese people of 17 millions.

It may seem next to impossible to people living on the outside with little or no connection with Sri Lankans, but in a majority of cities in the island all communities Muslim, Sinhala and Tamil live in harmony.
We need peace.

Definitely.

Mrs Hajara
Any chance you will change your opinion about Mahela after reading that article (I am sure the 'cranky' feloow won't...LOL).


I think your mixing the two issues, It was not talking about Mahela's Captaincy but I felt his form in One dayers have dipped and I wanted to see the averages in Tests (which is 51 in test matches) before and after he was made the Captain.
That article was on Mahela's captaincy, well there is no doubt about it specially after the Asian Cup Championship.
