Sri Lanka cricket vice-captain, selectors quit

COLOMBO — Veteran batsman Mahela Jayawardene quit as vice-captain and a three-member selection committee also resigned en masse in a major shake-up in Sri Lankan cricket following the team's World Cup defeat. "I think it's time to move on, give the reins to someone younger in the team," Jayawardene told AFP. The resignations came a day after Kumar Sangakkara stepped down as one-day and Twenty20 captain. Jayawardene, 33, was vice-captain for the World Cup, where Sri Lanka lost to India by six wickets in the final in Mumbai last week despite his impressive century. Sri Lanka Cricket chairman D. S. de Silva said the governing body had accepted Jayawardene's resignation. Jayawardene, who has scored 9,527 runs in Tests and 9,423 in one-day internationals, quit as Sri Lanka captain in February 2009. The selectors, led by former batsman Aravinda de Silva, also handed in their resignations to Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage. De Silva was the vice-captain of the 1996 World Cup-winning Sri Lankan side. Sangakkara stood down on Tuesday to allow selectors to groom new leaders for the next cricket World Cup in 2015. Sri Lanka's next international assignment is the tour of England in May-July for three Tests and five one-dayers.

You know why Sangakarra and selection comittee resigned? Because they all know that Sanga cheated during the toss in finals. If they had won, no one would have resigned. SL will be in deep trouble by the time next world cup comes. They too will lose a lot of their key players.

Dont you guys know - Its because BCCI paid them to lose the match and now they are retiring to their private islands in Bahamas. But its good they didnt play against our bade dil neighbours, or lanka would have had to lose for free.

Sanga missed stumping opportunity and kulasekara drops an easier catch. 4.Mural didnt take a single wicket at his last one day international. 5.President of SL made a statement as 'SL gave the joy for Indians' 6. Malinga said thats his last WC tournament. 7.Sanga resigned from the captaincy 8.Mahela resigned from the Vice -Captaincy 8. Selection committee resigned. Wait and see coz ..the game has not ended.

1. Indian PM did not participated for the finals.
and what has this got to do with the outcome of the match????
2. Teams has not been introduced to the head of state before the commencement of the match.

3. Sanga missed stumping opportunity and kulasekara drops an easier catch.
so now the players cannot even drop catches without being suspected of wrong doing?
4.Mural didnt take a single wicket at his last one day international.
IIRC he was injured so he was'nt as effective as he could have been, so did'nt take wickets.
5.President of SL made a statement as 'SL gave the joy for Indians'
yeah, and the Pakistani and American Presidents also congratulated the Indian team on winning the WC - so they also must have been involved in this conspiracy to steal the WC title from Sri Lanka??
6. Malinga said thats his last WC tournament.
So??? Can't a player retire??
7.Sanga resigned from the captaincy 8.Mahela resigned from the Vice -Captaincy 8. Selection committee resigned.
3 consecutive losses in the Finals of major tournaments - 2007 WC, 2009 World T20, 2011 WC - there's got to be something very sinister going on that has resulted in Australia in 2007, Pakistan in 2009 and now India in 2011 plotting against the mighty Sri Lanknan team :fear: :fear:

And yes, you should continue smiling/laughing while walking as you have been - otherwise poor bystanders may not be able to withstand the sudden change in your behavior.

thnx mate....had a good laugh. I can feel that a few people are just obsessed about me.:proud: I love you, I wish if I could impart some senseIQ to you guys.:P meanwhile, people still continue to post off-topic trash stats in the SRT thread. :D
Sir, if you continue coming out with gems such as those you have come up with during the last few days, pretty soon you will be in the exalted company of such ICF legends as Am!ts and you will also have a thread dedicated to you like this: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=131048 :hatsoff:
