Whats "thattufying"?
In Sinhalese that means Blocking !:laugh:

"Gal Thattu" means a dead blocker !!:laugh: Nothing goes past such a batsman.

There are guys in SL who specialise in being blockers all the way ...so its common to mock them thus....


But Atapattu is no blocker ..:mellow:

Dravid used to be ridiculously referred to as the Wall , despite being a match winner more often than not.

First of all I'm not saying that Atapattu is a bad player Thing is today sri lankan Team there no place for Attapattu he is a operner he is not a low middle oder batsman Today we can't move our top five batsmen Arnold has good average as opener and number three position it's more than 50 but he has a good experience playing as a depth batsman that's why he playing 2007 world cup. As a opener Attapattu has a good experience but Today's Sri Lanka Top order is good because of that he can't find a place

In end of 90s and bigging of 2000 Anorld was a sri lanka match winner If you are not sure please check his past record I don't know why this Can't understand Mr. Jason few weeks back you blame Dilhara but you when he doing well he shut up before blame or compare check there statics I think you don't have good knowledge about sri lankan Cricket Do you know anything about last time domestic season of sri lanka did you watch any single match Arnold played well through out the tournament he show to selectors where he is

Atapatuu is a good player, but if he was to be in the team either Jayasuria (god) or Tharanga would hjave to be dropped. I cant see either of them being dropped. Tharanga will be improving all the time and Jayasuria has the second most ODI centuries.

Errr dude, no offense but your post makes no sense whatsoever. Punctuation methinks?

And yes, Dinu, you are correct, thattufying would be more accurate. :D

Of course the best way of mocking dead batters is the cry "hit out, or get out!". :D

sinhalese is the language used in sri lanka? i never knew that...how do you pronounce sinhalese? is it like its spelled?- sin-ha-lese?:p

Well Singhalese is one of 3 languages spoken in SL, the other two being Tamil and English of course. As for pronounciation...hmmm...sing-ha-lese (probably best pronounced as singherlees). I spell it with the g as there is a noticeable 'g' in the intonation.

Hey man, have to agree with JBH about your post being extremely hard to make sense out of . It would give anyone a sore head trying to make sense out of all that.

But I will try.
Now we are not talking about the 90s and beginning of 2000 are we... We are talking about now. So throw that rubbish argument into the Bin, ok.

Now getting onto Dilhara. Not only me, almost all (or 90%of SL fans) were very critical of Dilhara and his no balling problems and leaking of Runs. This World Cup he seems to have come good ,ok... So good, but that does not mean he was always as this...and that does not make all the rubbish pie throwing in the past has got to be sanctified , ok... So get that right.

Now getting onto domestic cricket in SL...I live in NZ , so I can't go and watch the domestic games, but I do follow it on the net....I am assuming you live in SL ..how many games did you attend personally last year, may I ask ? :)

Your deliberate mispronunciations and lack of punctuations and grammatical errors , makes me think you are an imposter trying to portray yourself as Sri Lankan or a forum user using a second identity . Am I right ?:)

Hey, hey, hey....Enough sarcasm ok... :laugh: They are not hot waterless grounds... you make it sound like a desert :laugh: .

By the same token, I could say NZ grounds are wet cold green tops. :)

We are even now ...shall we call it quits there ...:)

No more mocking NZ from me .:) I live here

I hope Arnold proves me wrong. But I always thought Kapugedara should have played instead of him. Eventhough Arnold has so far just done enough to justify his selection. Yes I remember in the late 90's when Arnold played some fantastic innings. that was a long time ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think discussion in any language other than English is allowed.

Well, even if I could translate it wouldn't make a difference. Still against the rules.
