Don't know if he is underestimating Butter or overestimating MDA. His original argument was that MDA lacks the consistency to be a top-3 batter. It's no longer valid, so he has to find something else.

Still going on about trying to push him down the order yeah? Why change something that’s already working? He avgs 46.68 at 94 since 2024. He already among the best itw during that period. 😁

Well done to everyone who was involved, especially the Muslim community, who dared to challenge the Islamists. Now, Anojan has to be extremely careful in Sri Lanka because the local Islamists would be baying for his blood.

Sri Lankan national Anojan Sivarasa, who previously faced a death sentence in Saudi Arabia over a social media post, has been discharged from the case against him and is expected to be released from prison soon, Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath confirmed.

Statistically Sri Lanka have best middle order in Tests this decade. Their No.5-7 batters average 43.29, the only team above 40 and almost 20% clear of next best. They have 4 batters in Top 6 among all batters who scored atleast 500 runs while batting at no.5,6,7 in 2020s

I will probably get hate for saying this, but this year they built a temple next to my parents house. And when I say next to, I mean shared wall. In a residential area. Let me preface that I have nothing against people practicing their religion, everyone is free to do so

#lka state broadcasters lost LKR 271 million in just 6 months of 2026. Management changes with govts, but @rupavahinitv, @ITNSriLanka & @slbccolombo keep draining taxpayer funds with no proportionate benefits to public. Ratings down, audiences lost. WHY do we need to sustain such white elephants? newswire.lk/2026/11/11/sri-l…

LLMs' writing would be palatable if they wrote like machines. Instead, they learned the worst possible writing style from humans and are reproducing it.

The EU behaves like the US under Trump and the CCP, yet it does not face the same criticism from economists.

Pasindu also has this habit of moving back very late, like Pavan. He also has a low stance. Pasindu has to open in Tests, unlike Pavan, and I am not sure if he can survive.
