Cricket World Cup 2015

For me, still writing in Sinhala is difficult and time consuming.
(I struggle with no success to write my second name in Sinhala).
I was wondering, if there is some programme that can transfer our handwritten work (written using a styles) into type setting format.
Over to you Chutiputha (one of the specialist on this subject).

සුක්කානම නව පරපුරට. අර්ජුන හශාන් රොශාන් අරවින්දලාගෙන් එක පරපුරක් ඉවර උනා. ඒ පරපුර ආසියානු තනතීරුවල අතිදක්ශයින්. නමුත් ඔස්ට්‍රෙලියාවේ දකුනු අප්‍රිකාවේ දුර්වල පිතිකරුවන්. 2000 පස්සේ සුක්කානම මාවන් සන්ගා මහේල ඩිලී වගේ අයට ආවා. මේ අය ඕන තනතීරුවක හොදට ගහන්න පුලුවන් පිතිකරුවන්. නමුත් මේ අයගේ ගොඩක් පහරවල් බිම දිගේ ගැහුවේ. මේ අයට අවසාන වසර 4දී හැරෙන්න වේග පන්දු යවන්නන්ට මිඩොන් මිඩෝෆ් අතරින් උඩින් පහරක් ගහන්න හැකියාවක් තිබුනේ නැහැ. දැන් සුක්කානම කුසල් මැතිවුස් තිසර චන්දිමාල් වගේ අයට ඇවිත් තියෙනවා. මේ අය ඉන්නේ ඉස්සර සන්ගාලා පටන් ගත්ත තැනට වඩා ගොඩක් උඩින්. ජයසුරිය ජයසුරිය කෙනෙක් වෙන්න අවුරුදු 6 විතර ගියා. නමුත් කුසල් එක අවුරුද්දකින් සනත්ගෙන් බාගයක් වෙලා පෙන්නවා. චන්දිමාල් ඇන්ජි වගේ අයත් ගොඩක් දක්ශයි. මේ අය තව අවුරුදු 2ක් දෙන්න ඔන.

Now its panas andiriya now, even with kannadi I find sinhala font a strain to read, except ET's font.

We are out of the world cup 2015 and its not the loss of being thrown out of the tournament that is felt but it is  the loss of two of our greatest cricketers ever who makes us feel so sad as the tournament goes on.
We should have done better at least to give these two great's a  memorable farewell like India did in the last world cup to Sachin but it was not to be Thanks to those in charge, who should take full responsibility for such a drab performance particularly the  fitness of our cricketers during the tournament.
If you look back, our first weak point was our inability to fix the opening and middle order sloths during this  world cup and  had you folowed the tournament closely you would have easily noted the confidence of those in charge as they just brought in and brought out players to suit the situation throwing panic as the confidence level of the team drops when you keep moving guys around and  bringing in  replacements whilst the tournament is in progress. We did not see this with the other teams present which shows our selectors had absolutely no idea and just gambled with their choice when most of the other teams had their opening and middle order sloths fixed long before the tournament began.
To make things worse what on earth did the trainers do about the fitness of our cricketers as we saw no less than 4 of our regular players fail to live up to the fitness levels required for a tournament of this sort where you start training at least two years prior to the tournament. Having played the game myself at a high level,   I know for certain we have more than one trainer and what have these guys being doing, we may have even lost that match to Australia and even that quarter final with a 80% probability due to fitness as Chandimal had to walk out of the Australian match when he was about to set a record and then we had no more than three of the better cricketers sit on the bench during yesterdays quarter final. Let me remind you that we never faced this situation when we prepared for the 96 world cup, the openers and the middle order were permanent and the fitness within the team including captain cool was absolutely 100% even more if you had asked me then.
At least lets learn from these mistakes and take it from here and ensure we will not repeat these same mistakes ever again.

Unfortunately, now we have no President to blame.
MY3 is less concerned about Cricket at the moment.
So we need to find someone to pin the blame of the defeat.
( I think some found someone for that now ).
One Team has to win and other has to lose.
That is the nature of the game.
It was known to be the Gentlemen's game.
But it is no longer.
Now it is Bookies game.
The so called Gentlemen have already sold their soul for few extra buck by dropping a catch or skying a fully tossed up ball when it should have easily been over the ropes on another occasion.
I have played a bit of cricket (but not to very high levels) but when I see something is being played funny, I know it is not right.
( Can anyone remember finding substantial amount of cash in one of the cricketer's room by a housekeeping staff after he left the room? What happened to the investigation and now same people are teaching younger ones how to win matches ).
Now I rather read a good book than watch those fascicles being played.

NZ vs WI
NZ 393
So Semi (In Vs Au)
and Nz vs Sa

Finals Nz v ????
Champs Nz..

Amazing ...Vettori to Gayle, SIX,3rd Continues SIX...

I like to see NZ holds on to the world cup.

seems the world cup has sensed its need to move to a new home either in SA or the Island of the Kiwis, probably disgusted of being in those old teak shelves of the sub continent for so long.

NZ for Sure

These days interest in stock market is gone down. But collect fudermently strong srocks that are gone down/ under valued stocks slowly. One day market will go up.

Anyway this is cricket season. Who will win the world cup? Any guesess?

India - Australia
New Ze - South Af

I will support for South Af or New Ze, beacause both of thems are not won a world cup. And both teams are very decent and they give respect for others. Both teams are very good teams. Share your ideas

Me too it could be NZ coming into the finals. If so it could be their first appearance in cricket world cup and if they win it will be two world cup titles within a span of 4 years, i.e. It is cricket and rugby (they won the last rugby world cup held in NZ in 2011. If they can win 2015 rugby world cup it will be 2 in a row world cups.

Back to cricket, It would be more like India Vs NZ in the finals. This is based on match played between Aus and Pak. where Oz were struggling after losing 3 wickets within 11 overs. If Paks held the two catches they missed in that match, it could have gone either way.

Aus vs NZ

The aus side is extremely strong

Expect an anti-climax.
(That is how the Bookies win).

NZ maybe best to exploit the aussie weaknesses then.

Some early wickets, and to get MAxwell out cheaply can mean big problems for Aussies ...

no man they are playing in the scg against india. India will get screwed on Wednesday.... they are too distracted with fund raising dinners etc

On the other day, a NZer whom I met wished Pak win against Aus. Probably they do not want to face Aus in AUs soil and crowd in the finals.

if NZ play Aus in the final.
It effectively Aus vs Rest of the world.
You cannot take a chance against the Aus until the last ball is bowled.
Wish Baz fairy tale continues.

Oz were jittered due to fury bowling by Paks after losing 3 OZ wickets and some sledging went on between Watson and Pak pace Riaz

NZ in a big trouble..I hope NZ will win Semi Finals

If Anderson and Elliot stays till the end NZ will win
