Keththaramma stadium was some what a neutral one till around 2004/2005 for day/night
matches but turned completly in favour of team batting first after that... So this victory on this pitch relies on the team winning the toss...
The persons who should take the blame are Suraj Dandeniyya, Chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket D
S De Silva & President Mahinda ( as he is the final decesion taker according to Goverment &
his henchmens..). Also ICC, for not going for grounds which are equally supportive whether
bat first or bat second (I don't say that we should go for 100 % equally favoring pitches,
at leat 40/60 or 60/40).
Most Sri Lankan fans are asking " why grounds like SSC, Galle Stadium & Dambulla Stadium
were not developed for the world cup instead of this ground..." which are very much equally favouring...
Anyway we still will go to the next round but what about the other matches held at this
ground ? (SL vs AUS match, SL vs KEN, One Quarter Final, One Semi Final as well as Pk vs CAN, AUs vs PK to be played on this ground )
If something is not done, Very soon in future Cricket fans (When matches are played at Keththaramma)
will wait for the toss as well as first secession but will leave the ground, if team they are supporting is batting second..
I think the ICC Decesion taking panel should think twice before giving the Chief Position to Money Crazy Indian in future...When they head something, they don't inspect most important things that has to be inspected....
