Everyone knows that Srilankans have an undying hatred towards Australians when it comes to cricket. It all started when Sri Lanka toured Australia in 1995. It was the first time Srilankans were put under pressure and were abused. You might remember the sledding (i remember how ausi bowlers sledged kalu, and kalu gave one of the most innocent smiles that u had ever seen) and the Daryl Hire incident. All these incidents solidified the Srilankans to reach the final of the Benson and Hedges series, if I'm not mistaken we made the discovery of our explosive opening pair and it was the platform in which Sri Lanka won the world cup. In my point of view we should thank the Aussies for being so generous! ;)
Gone are the days of Daryl Hair, and his hair. (literally speaking ;)) but what I fail to understand the current hatred towards the Aussies. When you ask some Srilankans about why they hate em, the responses are
* "machan u remember the 1995 tour?" yes obviously I remember it. But come on!! Why do you wont to keep acting like a revengeful woman. Aka "agei wairaya ;)"
* others don't even remember why they even hate them. They just say "I just hate them" You don't remember why you hate Australia but you remember the movie "agei wairaya" how cool is that? :P
* some others say "they sledge machan" news flash : every team sledges. For god sakes even the Zimbabweins sledge. For a matter of fact, we even sledge and give the stare. Don't tell me that you haven't seen Dilhara trying to Stare Down batsmen. Scary stuff. Writing about it sends shivers down my spins. Brrrrrrrrrr :P
Srilankans are known for there hospitality. As the hosts of the T20 world cup, show that we are better than any of them. Thats my point of view. But it's up to u!
Live life!
Wear a condom!
Hate Indian cricket! :P
Don't die wondering
