T20 world cup was a dream of every Sri Lankan.
We had a craze to see Mahela lifting it. But that dream scattered. As Sri Lankans we are not happy. It hurts a lot when we lose something when our hopes have risen to the climax. Wining the Runner up and championship are two different things and that can never be compared. It would have been great if could win it. However we have lost it.
But there are several matters we should be proud of. Qualifying the finals is a victory. Even the young players like Akila Dananjaya who never had T20 experience did a great job. Anyway the most important thing is to understand the responsibility as a player. If someone plays without the responsibility and dedication surely it will bring the misfortune for the country. Also the captain must use the players in the most profitable way by understanding their talents and weak points.
It is not a mere cup we lost a great glory. So at least next time we must consider above matters.
In one hand we can be happy.
The final match was held in a ground donated by former president who was a prey of terrorists and no more we have that threat.
Our name is in the international records through cricket while the England who taught us cricket lost the tournament at very initial stages.
So as a whole there
are both plus and weak points. In our next time we should focus our attention
on these and try to win the championship
As you say, sports and other entertainment programs hosting in different countries provide the chance for people to mingle with each other, learn about their culture and also they act as a medium of passing peace. I watched the finals, though it is a disappointing to srilankan team. They behaved so charmingly and like were the other players. West Indians seemed to be a little arrogant but they too at last told that they enjoyed Srilanka a lot. In cricket, footbal or other sports where many countries dominate each other...We have to understand that it is time for another country's celeberation if it is not ours this time...Let love and peace be spread everywhere. :))))
