Arjuna Ranatunga Quotations

It is better to swallow a sheep or a goat than swallow what he has been swallowing.

I see a tough time for our cricket. Senior players will establish records and go home, but our cricket will struggle. Young players aren't playing with the freedom that they should enjoy. The selectors and the cricket board should take responsibility for that.

If u come to Sri Lanka you will find that DHONI has more fans than any other Srilankan player.

You can find tea in a tea cup.. but cannot find world in a world cup.

There is no ICC anymore. It is just BCCI. It is not International Cricket Council it is International Crime Council. If you take all the cricket board Presidents am sure they are all puppets. ICC is the toothless tiger.

Shane tries to be larger than the game and life and expects a lot of credit for his performances. He thinks there?s no better bowler than him.

I blame the Australian media for the public reaction. There are some cheerleaders in the Australian media and it's a sad situation.

I don't think our players will worry if Australia are being arrogant. If they are cocky, that's their problem, not ours.

If the Australians can't respect good cricket they don't deserve to see the best in action.

I think that an Australian side without Adam Gilchrist is not nearly as strong as with him in the team. Sri Lanka and South Africa could beat them no problem on their day. This is a very good opportunity now for Sri Lanka to come to the top. But I don't think our players will worry if Australia are being arrogant. If they are cocky, that's their problem, not ours.

We should not have sent him for tests in Australia. In that case, other bowlers should also be subjected to tests.

Under these circumstances I am left with no alternative but to resign.

There were a few things that I wasn't at all happy with during my association with SLC and I just waited till the team returned from India to hand over my resignation.

But if this is the reception he's getting, there's no point in going there over and over again.
