U may be right in one view. True is is a place sealed with idiots and
thieves. But Mulari has never let himself down. He was called from the parliament considered a honorable place though its crowned by itself. So he went there because of the honor he has on the system. I mean if he don’t go their he should not even visit Australia for the things they did to him. But this man honors the system and the law.
Hats off for mulari

Murali made me and many other srilankans proud when he broke shane warnes record. Not only that his cricket career has brought sri lanka to an international “talk of the town” so to speak. But one thing that Murali did which did seem right. Why did he go to the parliment when they invited him to felicitate his feat. I thougt that Murali’s certain true inner feelings came out when he gave in to this invitation. Tell me folks, the parliment is full of corruption and corrupted individuals and all they do is eat on the poor mans tax money. Why would a sports personality like Murali ever think of going into the lions den of fools and showing the world that he endorses corruption, begotry, throat slashing etc etc. Murali should not have done this. This looked very low on his part. One would wonder whether Murali has the plans of entering into politics. Why would he need the praise of these politicians who are corrupt to the brim. He should have outright declined the invitation. Well , folks think about it. Please post your view on this..

I have followed Murali from the very first time in England in 1991.I was amazed at his performance.A young Sri Lankan going on the world stage of cricket in England where it all first started.
I watched him at the World Cup when SRI Lanka won it .I proudly went to work in my office in SYDNEY and ebtered the office waving the SRI LANKAN Flag much to the dismay and annoyance of many “aussies”,but I was proud that Sri Lanka won it.
I also witness the boos and shouts he face in Australia and I was ashamed as a citizen of Australia that they could do this to a touring cricket team,no exactly cricket is it.
But Murali stood upto it all and faced them and came back to play again in Australia.Good on you Murali you showed your true colours as an Anthonian.
I also watched him on TV in my home in SYdney when he bowled Paul Collingwood to take the crwon of the greatest wicket taker in history and at the same time as Kumar Sangakara was on top of the batting.
Two great lovable sons of SRI LANKA>
Murali keep going and enjoy the game in the true spirit of Cricket.Bradman will be happy!!!!\
God Bless You Murali and your family I hope I will meet youpersonally one day.
I will be in Srilanka when you tour Australia.Show them you are the best.I will be watching your and the teams performance on TV IN Colombo.
God Bless You
Peace and Love

Murali is a great human being and a true sportsman compared to, especially, his international counterparts.

Hats off to a true patriot of Sri Lanka!
