I think its the fault of the media. they are hell bent on mking a mountain out of a molehill. We must not waste our time in discussing these issues. After all it is the end result that matters and India won because of his knock. Had it was Sachin who had been denied a hundred it would have become a bigger issue as he is very conscious about his personnel records and Gavaskar too would have created an issue as these two only have records in mind.

So you think as of now there was a small issue considering it is not Tendulkar. You are contradicting your own message. Anyway I suggest come out of your narrow mentality and try to think as an Indian. Wish you all the best to recover soon. Since I have many Tamil friends who are broad minded I will not go for any regional blame game since it will serve the purpose for which you have posted above message.
He will never be half the player Sehwag is. Some amount of jealousy was definitely there. No wonder he didnt want sehwag to get a century. Anyway, the matter has blown out of proportion and hopefully the rest of the games will be played in the right spirit.
When anil kumbale tokk 9 wks at delhi ..And Wasim Akram was on strike he clearly given away his wks so that one asian bowlers can hold a record (see replyas in you tube).
Sri Lankans have been doing this all along. But this is the first time players from Sri Lanka have been booked for this kind of mischief. I guess this was because Sehwag the player was on 99. On earlier occasions the players like Sachin and Ganguly were on 96, 98 and so on. In a way it is good because this kind of imposing fines and bans on Randiv and Dilshan should discourage same kind of negative bowling from bowlers in future, hopefully.

IPL is not spirit of game. It is spirits of money- These guys are professionals and nothing would hurt them the way you think.

It only indicates that you have not understood Viru.
If Dilshan & Viru are in the same, neither Viru nor anybody will bother about what is fairness or sportsmanship, because both of them will join hands to come up more ways to violate the spirit of the game and how to get away with....

LG is a guy who idolises Sachin and waits for oppurtunity to insult each and every plaeyer other than Sachin!! And, nothing else.. A mediocre one sided fan..

I heard that for people who are mad,the level of madness fluctuates during full moon, new moon, noon time etc.. Do you have these symptoms?
Its good that SL board has atleast taken notice of the situation and penalised the offenders. But what about the negative bowling that Australians and English bowlers do duringtests if they cannot get the batsmen out....Ex: Ashley GIles bowling on leg side to tendulkar
