    I became aware of the many sided personality of cricketers. You all didn't panic when you all were hit!!! I now think that after listening to your speech," ALL THE GENERALS WERE MADE NOT IN THE BATTLEFIELD BUT THE CRICKET FIELD." I really appreciate you having patriotism towards Sri Lanka - our motherland. ☆☆☆☆☆
