DAMBULLA: It was Sri Lankan batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan who suggested off-spinner Suraj Randiv to bowl a no-ball to deny Indian opener Virender Sehwag his century during Monday's controversial tri-series match, according a newspaper report.
Sri Lanka Cricket, which has ordered an internal probe into the no-ball controversy, is yet to make the report official but according to 'The Island' it was Dilshan who suggested Randiv to bowl a no-ball at the fag end of the match which India won by six wickets.
Good report sajee, no one would have imagined that Dilshan would have suggested this, as he is not the captain and he maynot be considered as a senior player yet.
Cricket as it stands today is no longer a gentleman's game.However Randiv is not the only player who is guilty of this.The former Aussie cricket captain Greg Chappel asked his younger bother Trevor to bowl underarm to deny Newzealand a possible victory.
Sajeetharan,
I also wonder why this should be made so much ?A bowler has all the tension while bowling and a batsman at the brim of century more tensile.If the ball was hit on Veeru's body all the things will be described in another way.So it is a unnecessary scandal, I think.
