Aney is it true? with nam

Club affiliations
* Some times club affiliations are stronger than current form. The National skipper wanted the former opener in the ‘A’ squad as he has not been on tour for sometime. Though some selectors objected to it, but, the young autocrat just bulldozed his way through with it got what he wanted.

They this is exactly how he gets about everything on and off the field.

Sana’s treatment
* The story goes to say Sana came into the second Test in England only after he had taken the tall Em to task in front of all the others. However it is learned that some juniors in the team say the day that tall Em taken to task by one of them is not very far.

Wrong surname
* Some ask what charm Chamara had over the selectors. Young Malintha Warnapura twice carried his bat through the Lankan ‘A’ inning coming into bat at number three and also going to complete three figure scores of 111 not out and 149 not out. In the match he got 149 not out he scored 65 in the Lankan first innings too. But he has missed the bus and once again goes along with the ‘A’ team to the Caribbean. One asked whether it was that he carries the wrong surname.

Good times have come his way
* Good old times have come the way of the weightlifter who brought honour and fame to the country.
Thereafter they also promised Rs million each for the ‘gold’ winners of the SAG. So, once he won he was given a million at the Temple Treea and then once again by the sniveling man at the Sports Ministry by mistake.
Now he is finding ways of getting it back.

To make a fast buck
* The Education Ministry Sports authorities and the NAASU are at loggerheads. Now the young swimmers have gone to Chennai to take part in a meet. It goes on to say that the official cost of the Air Fare is Appx Rs.16,000, but they were asked to give Rs. 25,000/- towards their fare. Besides the 150 children who made the tour, there were another 150 parents who went on the tour. At the same time those who went on the tour had to carry their own bedding, own pillows and mosquito coils. A good way to make a fast buck.

Premier love
* It was a premier league match at SSC grounds. It was rather amusing to see the Panadura SC’s spinner who was in and out of the field to the pavilion to be with his girl friend who was at the match. Then there was this other premier league match where three players who absent as they were busy representing their employers at the Mercantile Sixers. The team they represented lost the match.

First impression
* First the team Chilaw players did not want to play the match sighting that one of the assigned umpires were biased against them. But, the SLC insisted and they had to play the match. At the same time they also won it. Now in the captains report the umpires is commended.

No quorum
* First he passed every one who sat the AFC’C’ license referees course just to get his son through the exam. This time only twelve sat the exam instead of the mandatory twenty, but he has put bogus data got it pushed through.
