Sri Lanka Cricket is extremely proud of its team and their achievements over the years. It is of paramount importance to maintain the discipline of the Gentlemen’s game, especially with Sri Lanka Cricket being winners of the ‘ICC Spirit of the Game’ award for two consecutive years.

As such Sri Lanka Cricket has taken a stern decision against Suraj Randiv and T M Dilshan, for their actions during the 3rd ODI of the Micromax Tri-Series held on August 16, 2010, between India, in Dambulla, wherein Virender Sehwag was deprived of scoring his century due to the delivery of a no ball by Suraj Randiv.

  • Suraj Randiv has been suspended from the next match against New Zealand on August 19, 2010 and his match fee for the IND Vs. SL match on August 16, 2010, has been forfeited.
  • TM Dilshan’s inference in this issue has resulted in his match fee for the same match also being forfeited.
  • Furthermore, Captain Kumar Sangakkara, too has been advised to ensure that repetition of such incidents do not occur, where disrepute will be brought to the game of Cricket, affecting the spirit of the game.

    Hi All,

    Cricket is another great sport. We Sri Lankan very proud about the cricket and our players that always been gentlemen. Don’t need to talk about Pakistan or India. Whole world witness
    througout last couple of decades who plays gentlemen’s game gently. No need any other witnesses.
    Loosing and wining is the nature of the sport. But cracked out and humuliat each other is not the nature of real gentlemen. You guys here posting your comments in anger showing off again who, which nations cannot play the gentlemen’s game gently.
    Be enjoy., have fun ,be proud but don’t humiliate each other and be a proud nations who
    plays gentlemen game proudly.
    Cheers

    Why srilankan cricketers are cheating so much these days,(well in the past they were bigger cheater),Perhaps watching the india as no 1 test team,NO 2 ODI team ,Dhoni no 1 batsman in ICC ranking making them out of mind and forcing them to cheat,hope you agree.

    Indians are the cheaters, suresh raina was clean out edging the ball to sanga, But he did’nt walk, (cheater Raina) who says that shewag’s out is not out/ hawk eye clearly shows thats hitting the leg stump, Similar sort of a decision was given against mahela also in the previous game against india, But no body argued about it. Indians are the cheaters ….. Look they will be beaten by new zealand today, Big headed indians they think they are the no 1. And also i would request ten sports not to send bias commentators like arun lal. we are the champions sri lanka………………… India no match for us…. Cheaters india……

        The fact is that India had no idea that Dharmasena had withdrawn his retirement from firstclass cricket and is back again and standing in disguise of an umpire and he too has good skills to pursuade other umpire for his purpose. I think this is a breach of contract. Srilanka should intimate this to India about the fact. This is real cheating. See how your Suraj Randiv and Co. have done to prevent sehwag from reaching to his century. What moreto say mr sanak ….. you know everything. Just open your eyes.

    I dont understand why Srilankan cricket fans are over-reacting on this whole issue. Look, Randiv is no kid and he has committed a crime by bringing the game to disrepute. What do you expect SLC or ICC to do – give him the most honorable cricketer of the year award??

    He has violated ICC code of conduct 42 and henceforth SLC has punished him..rightly. and mind you this is the 3rd time a Sri Lankan bowler has done this against India. Dont just agressively, emotionally and blindly support a guy just becoz he plays for you.

Undoubtedly Sanga is a good player but there are better players for Captaincy. Sanga please hand over Captaincy to Murali , he may return.

    likes to remind the Sri Lanka Cricet Board Officials that their responsibility is to work (yes, for a change) towards the betterment of Sri Lanka Cricket & not to appease the whinning women (Sehwag,Yuvraj etc.) of the Indian cricket team. Surely they can’t be expecting favours from these whinning women can they? Note that this pathetic attitude has got the toothless ICC to wake up… no other cricket board in the world would’ve let down their players like this. Am highly dissapointed.
