what does chokshananda mean anyways? Many Sri lankans have such sanskirt oriented names.

[vvvslaxman]

I don't have many lungan cricketers. Aravinda is the only one i have to say.

KUmara sexananda Sangakkara :hatsoff:

cokSha in Sanskrit means "pure", "pleasant". cokShAnanda means "pure bliss".

[Marut]

^ Tamilians will probably note that its Tamil form is chokka (chokka is a Prakrit word) as in chokka-tangam or pure gold.

[Vilander]

Awesome player...genuine great.

[Temujin Khaghan]

the thing about island countries is that antiquity and culture is saved for a long time. some of these buddhist srilankan cricketer names wouldnt be out of place even during the magadha age i guess.

Leaving the game on top form. Never seen him this consistent in ODIs. He can surely go on for 2 more years bu looking at the current form. If he concentrate only on ODI he could even go till next WC.

[Texy]

Yup Sachin, Lara & Sanga...should be spoken of in the same sentence. Not to mention unlike the other two, he is also the wicketkeeper. Absolute legend. :hatsoff:

Great player. Also good to see him retiring when on top of his game.

+1 right now he is actually at his peak

Truly great player, but a Class A d*ck as well. The way he answers questions before and after matches you would think SL only has the God given right to win matches. As for his innings yesterday, it was a poor innings. For the first 40-50 runs both he and Dilshan were both going at a decent click, but after his 50 he was poor. Didn't take the initiative and allowed the scoreboard to climb. Just because one of your great players scores a 100, it doesn't mean he can be excused from criticism.

well you can be a dick and a great player. I place him similar to Javed Miandad who you would hate being in opposition. tough competitor

[MechEng]

Scored heavily against Pakistan, made 230 against Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar in Asian test championship. Elegant batsman, top player.

Chasing 376 is nearly impossible. Criticizing the batsmen (especially a century maker) makes no sense when they fail to chase these scores. SL looked good until Chandimal got retd hurt.
