No. Ask Sanga to come with facts/proofs. If he can provide proofs about corrupted members Mahindananda can take actions. Crimes or probes are not time depended if the corrupted officers are still alive

These are matters that required to be handled internally within a political structure of country.

There are millions of people and so many countries waiting to criticize and find fault with Sri Lanka to prevent us from reaching prosperity. This speech would be ideal ammunition for those people.

It's sad, that an individual is getting popular at the expense of the whole country! and very game that made him popular.

Sangakkara can never be larger than cricket!

well said, while playing for IPL instead of playing for the country how can he criticize others? cheers

revealing the truth about corruption is not a adding black mark to the country. This is not a matter of sovereignty, this is matter of corruption which should fix for the better governance.

Now Mahindananda has to take actions against the corrupted people (not against Sanga) to save the Sri Lankan Image. If he take action no one can say SL is a country with corruption but if he is not able to do then it would be a black mark.

I agree that Sanga is a fool. Otherwise he will not tell the truth about the corruption since 96. Now most of the people blaming Sanga, but no one talking a single word about corruptions. Corrupted people has become heros and Sanga has become traitor.

: Hashan had revealed about the match fixing by some sri lankan players.SO why didnt he talk about that? He prefered IPL instead ofplaying for Sri lanka...IS that the spirit of Cricket?

People, please read or listen to Sangas speech and try to understand (if possible) before making ignorant comments about his speech,he never criticized the country, his speech was in the best interest of the game that we all love.
And all that he said was true,so whats the problem?The problem is people like Sanga and those who think like him are a minority in this country, that's the real problem here.

Corruption is corruption no matter who done it. Hashan hasn't revealed anything upto now. He only says that. I think you know only little about that case. Players including Sanga asked Hashan to give the list to ICC. I am not trying to depend Sanga. If he like to play for IPL that is his preference but not a corruption. Preference is not a crime or dangerous than the corruption. But I don't think Sanga will depend IPL or ICB. He revealed about external factors.

If you heard the full story about Lasith Malinga's case you will never talk about sprit of Sri Lankan cricketers.
When he get injured he has dismissed even from the contract by SLC. He received nothing from cricket board. How he live with injured body ?
Thanks Lasith he still plays for Sri Lanka.

look here.hav any of urll listen to the full speech?the guys who crticize?or you look at a news paper and make ignorant commetns??

MCC spirit of cricket is delievred by eloquent speakers with greta knowledge.it is a great honor to be asked to deliver 1 and sanga was the 1st lankan (perhaps the only 1 ever be),the youngest cricketer and the only active cricketer to delievr the speech

He mentioned some lovely things about the Sri Lanka.it brought tears to peple's eyes.he only said that we hav a corrupt administration which is widely known through out the world.he had the backbone to say it.CB Ratnayke who was the ex sports minister said that SLC was the 3 most corrupt place,i know it for a fact - i am involved with the slc and the media for some time

he was only the 2nd man to reciev a standing ovation at Lords after desmond Tutu.Peopel who dont knwo jack about cricket talk of how we cud in the WC final after sachin and sehwag got out...hahhahha.that shows the clear lack of knowldge in cricket.

Lets understnd thing clearly. What do we get speaking about those stupid cricketers. At the end of day will not gain anything. And specially i dont think this type of posts are not appropriate in this stock forum. Lets invest our time strategically. Not no these fools because we will not gain anything. I am cricket fan too but i think these topics are not suitable here. This is purely my opinion . Kindly do not get it personal.

Kumar Sangakkara should get a life ban for bringing Sri Lankan cricket into disrepute. No cricketer had done as much damage as sanagkkara had done, causing once war ravaged country on the brink of recovery back into it's dark age to fulfill his own personal aspiration through gross condemnation of the country sport administration in the eyes of the international community. It just speaks loads of his character as a cricketer and lawful citizen of this country. He should be prevented from returning to Sri Lanka.

I dont think we can call Kumar Sangakkara as a stupid cricketer. NO chance.
He gave a lot for cricket and for the country.

This is an issue with his speech not anything else. He is a gifted player.

Sri Lanka should not win World Cup: Newspaper
Colombo, Feb 11 (PTI)

In a surprising move, a Sri Lankan newspaper today urged cricket captain Kumar Sangakkara to not win the World Cup, fearing it would help the controversial interim committee strengthen its position.

The privately-run but pro-government 'Island' newspaper said Sangakkara should not win the tournament for the "sake of the country.""Call me a traitor, a quisling -anything," said the paper's sports writer Russell Palipane.

"I don't want Sri Lanka to be the champions of the cricket World Cup 2011!"
Palipane argued that the current interim committee, which runs the game, will make use of a cup victory to consolidate its hold on office without facing elections.

"Just imagine what will take place if Sri Lanka emerge champs. D S de Silva (the current head of Sri Lanka Cricket) and his cronies who make up the Interim Committee will claim it was their doing."

The writer also took swipes at two other key cricket officials."Kumar (Sangakkara) dear, please spare the country. Don't win it, for the majority of this country are nothing but a pack of jokers, like that former Chairman of Selectors (Asantha de Mel), about whom Marvan Attapattu (former skipper) had a few things to say, before he retired from international cricket."

The 'Island' outburst comes amid attempts by Sri Lankan authorities to galvanise support for the national team for the biggest event of the game.Local radio and television stations have been adopting their own songs and video clips to shore up support for Sri Lanka, which won the trophy in 1996

Punishment for the truth. What are we going to do for the corrupted politicians? Evil or Very Mad

What sanga delivered is 100% truth. I think he has done the right thing at right venue. He had that guts to do that. He was not selfish.

@ Avinash...please read or listen to his speech before passing remarks...the problem with Sri Lanka is that the majority are ignorant cowards like you ,who dont have the guts to call a spade a spade.Well done Sanga,someone had to say it,for the betterment of the sport.

My friend, are you a Sri Lankan?? It sure doesn't look that way.

Why does one of the greatest players of our country and perhaps cricket itself get a ban just because he highlighted the corruption in our beloved cricket board. Did you read the entire speech or just what the papers said? if you didn't please read the entire speech from cricinfo.com or lords.org. What he said about corruption is only a tiny bit of the speech. He told the world about how cricket began in SL, about the great leaders and players of SL, how they faced the attack in Lahore and how proud he is to be a Sri Lankan etc etc.

btw, do you honestly think that the authorities will bat an eyelid if he said these things here ?

@ Avinash I cannt agree with you at all.

If KS had removed that controversial bit, his speech would have been a perfect speech.

Why it is controversial?

Sanga talked the truth which is bitter for some people. If you listen to the full speech u will understand what was he trying to say. The period covered is from before 83 to date. No one can challenege single thing he said. One of the best I have ever heard from a Sri Lankan.

Lol! all he's done is point to the 5 ton gorilla in the room. Everyone in the cricketing circles know about the corruption inside SLC. You think ICC doesn't know about the bloody circus that goes on every time an SLC election is about to take place.

Having said all of this sanga to me will always be a fake wannabe cool type of guy. How can any sri lankan take him seriously with that bogus accent.

I cannot figure out as to how Sangakkara got his fake accent, after being born and lived in Sri Lanka most part of his life. How could one consider him to be a role model. May be he is a role model for those who follows Yankees, who eats pizza and drink coca cola. As a Sri Lankan at times I feel shy the way he uses his accent to address people and the way he uses broken sinhaleses to address Sri Lankans. If he values Sri Lankan culture, then he should first talk like a Sri Lankan and respect srilankan values.

Do not compare Sangakkra with gentlemen like Ranjan Madugalle, Anura Tennekoon or Micheal Tissera. Sangakkara is another Hansie Corngie in making. He might probably will have the same destiny.

I fully agree with mono, he is a fake wannabe cool type of a guy.

What is your suggest ? Jail Sanga instead of corrupted people for his fake accent ? We all know these corruptions but any one of us talked like this ?
Sanga didn't criticized mother land. He criticized the terrorism and revealing how Sri Lankan families faced to the terrorism.
But he has criticized cricket board. Criticizing corrupted politicians is not criticizing the mother land. Most of the people get hurt when criticizing corrupted politicians.
Yet no committee to investigate corruptions by Mahindanada. But there is one for sanga
