There will be another ICC World Twenty20 in England in 2009 according to the ICC.their first priority is for the Test, after that for 50 over matches.

Shah Rukh Khan factor :
When I read today's international news papers , I've seen something interested article but on the first page of one of the news papers in India.That tells

"Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif had mentioned earlier that it was SRK’s presence that inspired Dhoni and his men to victory." Because "Chak De! India" film had inspired all of India.

Shah Rukh was there because The BCCI and Sharad Pawar had invited him in last 2 hours.His sun wanted to see the match then.

Rashid Latif also explained "He was the ‘X’ factor that lent that extra edge to the Indian team"


Shah Rukh Khan has said,
"I am glad to be able to contribute through them. But, in this case, I was another Indian among the spectators cheering the boys with my mind, body, heart and soul. Yeah, I was praying fervently as well, but then so was everyone else."

Unexpected expectation, Sri Lanka has been eliminated - Twenty20 dream shattered.

Unexpected expectation, Sri Lanka has been eliminated



The 1st Twenty20 world cup dream for the Sri Lankan is shattered. That dream never comes true in any case. The runner up for the World Cup was unable goes through
In to the top four countries. Are you going to blame on Jayasuriya ? No, Sanath is not the team. He is in the team. Then, Murali ?We must not mentally ill when Sanath and Murali the both are not there. But, There’s a team. The best eleven players of the country are there. They must play and show the best! The burden mustn’t target only the top players but the whole team.

T-20, Is Sri Lanka ready to play?


Twenty-20 is a new game to the world of cricket. If we say Sri Lanka has lack of experience, for the most of the countries same. With Australia , Sri Lanka lost the 7th wicket before 50 on the score card. That seems lack of knowledge on T-20. There wasn’t a plan to fulfill the dream to reach another round. With Jayasuriya to the duck, other end Upul Tharanga for 4 runs ,created the links for the rest of the team to go out. They haven’t a good plan or they didn’t use the plan. They thought big ones will bring more marks forgetting to be in the ground without giving any more wickets. If any one did that, the result won’t be the same!

England tour!

T-20 is gone. With learning from the past, prepare for the future. England tour will begin from next month. Lot of hard work to do escape from the poor situation now in. In these days England team is not much better as out of the torment so early. Sri Lanka has the chance to get profit from the situation.

If you want to see the England – Sri Lanka matches schedule in October,Or more information regarding cricket or sports,

Is Australia good enough to be in the TOP of the world.





If we use something unusual to win a game , others tell we are cheaters. So Adam Gilchrist used to have a Golf ball (broken) in his glove, when the last World Cup went on. Is he using it right now again? He has said that ball have given some more power to hit. If it’s real, Some fours come down to 2 or 3 runs. Sixes must be less than six likes four or less than four….
Another thing is some people who head some important positions feel “Open batmen’s of the Australia team are using some drugs, if not so , why anyone else can’t bats like them.”

Then, there are some rumors , Australia isn't good enough to play a genuine game. We can't come to conclusion that is same. Some times excellent people have been blamed by jealous ones, if so, Australia well be get rid of the rumors.

What do you think,
Is Australia team genuine ?

Is The Buddhist TV worth as expected?

Is The Buddhist TV worth as expected?- Priyantha De Silva

The only Buddhist satellite TV in the Asia “The Buddhist TV” now on air via Dialog Satellite TV. When we get the religious channels in the world with comparing “God” is the most popular one as religious channel. It’s a very organized channel with many aspects. Comparing with others “The Buddhist TV” is as a baby of one month. But it must be developed faster but not so. Sad to say, nothing happening as we expected like before “The Buddhist TV” beginning. Satellite TV station is a very powerful one so it can be able to convert some people’s thinking and feelings. To bad or to good. From “The Buddhist TV” it must come to the point “The Best” not to “good”.
There are many people who speak Hindi, Tamil, mostly English( Can understand if they can’s speak) Bus most programs air on BTV are from Sinhala. But most Sinhala speaking people know about Buddhism and listen preach in Sinhala via Radio. But less of other language people know the stem of Buddhism or nothing. Then it must broadcast even one program from other languages everyday to popularize in the region. If not the most suitable resolution is to give subtitles for every program in Hindi or English, better if it comes from both. So add “The Buddhist TV” to the Tata and the Dish TV lineups with others.

To develop “The Buddhist TV” much better,

* Introduce many Live coverage events around the world regarding the Buddhism. (It’s very easy via internet)
* Introduce “Buddhist News” telecast every day.
* A live sermon everyday or recorded one with subtitles much better.
* Create Buddhist songs , specially from the language of Hindi and English.
* Add “The Buddhist TV” station for the lineup of other satellite providers.
* Don’t show “Bhakthi Gee” programs , they aren’t popular even in Sri Lanka or anywhere else. It only decrease the popularity of the station.
* Make subtitles for “ Gangodavila Soma” thera’s sermons from Hindi and English. Get all the past programs from other stations , every ones from TNL with Chamuditha Samarawikrama.
* Make Subtitles for “Podina Sakachchawa” of swarnavahini.
* Introduce live program that people can ask (live) questions and receive answers.
* Don’t show the programs that show miserable life with sad feelings, if so others think Buddhism is a religion for the dead people, not for the ones live.
* Introduce a WEB SITE for “The Buddhist TV” with schedule page least for one week time range.
* Give a hour time in every week for “Pitaduwe Siridhamma Himi” to what ever he weants to do.
* Get and show a cartoon program every day for children with matter of Buddhism.
* Show the series of the “Kun fu” again ( That broadcasted on Rupavahini).

******* Many things to do to the development of The Buddhist in the future more than that.Let the time to come ..............
