- Chanaka Fonseka on Thilina Kandambi to Coach, Abu Dhabi T10 teamSeems like he will be a good coach. Did well for Jaffna.
- Chanaka Fonseka on Sri Lanka have a spin-bowling problem and we need to talk about itFor me batting is the main problem. Give our bowlers enough runs and you will see better results.
- Stormy on Angelo Mathews: Sri Lanka batsmen ‘can learn a lot’ from Joe RootRoot is a great batter and could still be England's greatest but what about Anji? Root should be learning from Anji on how to play in Galle! Anji was once upon a time #2 in the world behind Sanga and basically gone no where from there mainly due to injuries.
- Stormy on Oshada Fernando in Sri Lanka side for second Test against England – Chief SelectorWhy was Oshada injured? He was injured not too long ago as well. Don't get why a batter is injured constantly when others play series upon series without any issues. Yes I understand things can happen but lets look at the last 3 test. We missed Anji for the series, Chandi for the second test in SA and now Dimuth for 2 - that's our most experienced batters not together for a single test! Oshada has been missing and DDS also missing - just not sure what is going on. Other countries also play test, a lot more than us including IPL and BBL ect. but still going on.
- Stormy on Sri Lanka’s Malinga retires from franchise cricketIf not the, one of the greatest t20 bowlers the world has seen and his record with MI will be hard to match. What an absolute star he has been and how amazingly did this guy develop to be a world beater. MI and we will miss him...
- Stormy on Sri Lanka Cricket Sex Scandal: SLC Instructs Team Manager To Submit Report On Alleged Misconduct By PlayerAnother day, another pathetic loss and another scandal!
- Jehan on Sanath blasts Sri Lanka reserve players engaging in Card games during the matchICC coruption ban is over after 2 years so Sanath is back trying to cause problems again!!!! Keep this disgraced person away from SLC!!!

- TK Jayasinghe on Why We Need to Save Kusal MendisBelieve in him. He will deliver. Dont drop players weekly.
- WZRD on Why We Need to Save Kusal MendisYou save Mendis, but we need to save Sri Lanka Cricket
- Ramesh Pillai on Possible SL XI for 1st Test, Kusal Mendis likely to be restedI never blame the support staff. They are doing the best.. However I blame the players. Very unprofessional, I could say bunch of idiots. Disgrace to a nation. They will never learn, never want to learn. So Sad! Then a chief selector, who does not have an ounce of a Brain to take out Kusal Mendis from playing 11. He is out of form. Politics are not cricket and cricket is not politics. How can he be the manager of the team?? We need to have a manager who is from Tri forces. Who knows decepline and knows how to decepline children. Not professional Cricketers. Our cricketers are not professionals they are children out from Schools. Wonder why these guys are paid well!
- mega turbo on Why We Need to Save Kusal Mendis0 0 0 0... Save him from who? Himself? Is he saving to buy and Audi (4 rings)?
- SinceThe90s on 'Unfit, unprofessional, fat Sri Lankans'Honestly, Rex, I saw the professionalism and all round journalism on the legends series you did. But, this article is a huge disappointment to me. You are just throwing out controversial statements. I expect something I read from a professional journalist to be based on facts. Not questioning our players integrity like this. How would you feel if people wrote articles about your integrity? They definitely deserve some criticism on the preparation and fitness for this series but are the players even responsible for that? Because of Covid things just got cancelled. And the board is responsible for organising practice sessions and camps. You are writing as if you hate our team and just to get people to click this unneeded title and content of this article. I expect better from Rex Clementine.
- Jehan on Former Sri Lanka spinner helps Aussie batsmen in nets ahead of Boxing Day TestSLC should also think about hiring these former bowlers as net bowlers for our batsmen.
- Dias on SLC promises a bigger and brighter Lanka Premier League Season 2Very good idea to have a team from the East!
- TK Jayasinghe on South Africa squad tests negative for Covid-19 ahead of Sri Lanka seriesUnfortunately these PCR tests give a false sense of security. You can get infected right after the test and think you are clear because test said so. Test will give results of that moment but not what happens later.
- TK Jayasinghe on Sri Lanka depart for South Africa Test tourWhat is the difference between Durban and the other venues?
- Stormy on Sri Lanka depart for South Africa Test tourThe good news is there is a tour the bad news is the venues are the Wanderers and Pretoria! I don't think will ever get another game at Durban or anywhere else but these two and Newlands!
- Stormy on Sri Lanka to field three-pronged seam attack against South AfricaHmm...interesting idea of considering an uncapped legspinner against what will be a relatively inexperienced SA batting order. I presume the playing surface will be barely distinguishable from the outfield requiring 4 pace bowlers with DDS holding up an end with spin. For once, we go in with all pace bowlers fit and the question is will Chameera make the playing eleven - this guy had something including pace and hope he still has a role to play.
- Stormy on Young Sri Lanka newcomers in Test squadNot sure why we keep taking Thirimane around for every tour despite failing over and over but I presume he is now a fixture in selections regardless! Also surprised to see Shanaka in the team and no surprises with Mathews - another key series and a fit again Mathews tries to bowl and is out again. I just don't get the thinking - we know he is a critical batter for our fragile batting order, we know he has a dodgy injury history which has proven each time be bowls, yet somehow we keep bowling him and watch him break down and miss yet another series. Such a waste of a talented batter in the interest of throwing a few pies - lets face it he is never going to win anyone a game with the ball so what are we doing??
- Stormy on LPL a success despite pandemic fearsCredit where its due and well done to SLC for pulling this off under very trying circumstances with COVID and the southern cricket season in swing and during the monsoon in SL. Excellent outcome in the end with some good cricket. Also gave SL cricketers much needed exposure and game time to quality cricket.
- Dinith on Who is the find of the LPL 2020?Ramesh mendis looks promising specially in the shorter version of the game. He is similar to washinton sundar in India who bowls very tidy off-spins with a high arm action. He can be used in the power plays and capable of scoring some runs in the middle order as well (athough he didn't get much opportunities to show his batting skills in the LPL) My playing 11 for the next year T20s, 1. Avishka fernando 2. Danushka Gunathilake 3. Kusal Mendis 4. Kusal Perera 5. Banuka Rajapakshe 6. Dasun Shanaka 7. Thisara Perera 8. Wanidu Hasaranga 9. Ramesh Mendis 10. Suranga Lakmal 11. Lahiru Kumara
- Hilal Suhaib on Who is the find of the LPL 2020?All of them were excellent in the tournament and showed a lot of promise. I enjoyed watching Charith Asalanka batting and Nuwan Thushara was very impressive. Dhananjaya Lakshan is the find of the LPL for me.
- Dias on LPL – My Team of the tournamentAsela had a great LPL and is in top form. He should be in the test squad for SA tour.
- Stormy on ‘I kept it simple,’ says LPL top run maker GunathilakaHis batting may be simple but that unfortunately is the end of anything simple about this talented cricketer who really should be a permanent fixture in the team taking over from Dilshan a few years ago. If there is even an example of talent alone will not get you there Gunathileke is it. He can bat and bowl and is a brilliant fielder (much like Dilshan) but yet he has a string of fitness, discipline and consistency issues which is why he in and out and when in, finds away to get out. Still has a chance to settle down and become a world beater but needs to keep the basics simple!
- Stormy on No Rabada or Pretorious for Sri Lanka Test series, de Kock named Test captain of South AfricaSA wanted to bury us at home after their humiliation in SL but things just didn't work out for them and SL pulled out one of the all time great test series wins. SA still desperately want to thrash us and surprised to see them rest Rabada who is the leader of the pack and good news for us. I wouldn't have picked De Kock as the obvious choice but Elga who is experienced and has led the team before. SA have issues but money on SA at home and looking for SL to pull off another surprise in South Africa.
- Stormy on 22-man Sri Lanka squad for South Africa tourSurprised to see Thirimane and Shanaka in. I thought we were over Thirimane after the last failed attempt - would much rather have seen a younger chap get the experience of a SA tour. Nice to see Chameera in the mix again and hope he will get a decent injury free run and with Kumara, some decent pace in the attack.

- SportsLover on Probable Sri Lanka Test squad for South Africa tour 2021How to include 4 debutants for the tough south african tour ? How can Oshada, who scored a century in the last test , be removed all at once ? Will Kusal, the batsmen who launched the best innings in the history of test cricket , be dropped from the squad ? Will an experienced player like chandimal , who returned to the team from the tour of pakistan and showed some success and was the second highest runs scorer in the recently concluded first class tournament , be dropped from the tough tour of south africa ? Can an experienced player like thirimannne be expected to miss out? Will Rajitha, one of the three best test fast bowlers in srilanka ,be dropped ?

- SportsLover on My batting line-up for SL T20Don't be a idiot ,, Mathews , Dhananjaya & Thisara are the core of our team,, all of them are reliable batsmen & capable of bowling,, Mathews is our best batsmen & can bowl couple of overs,, Thisara is the best power hitter/ Finisher in the team & death bowling specialist,, You need some one like Dhananjaya as he is genuine allrounder & don't threw his wicket easily & can bowl 4 overs ,,
