    The Arjuna era was different. Both good and bad. During that era the juniors even had to carry the seniors' bags. But the good about it was that there was respect and discipline. There was a hierarchy.
    Arjuna could be the only cricketer that didn't appear in advertisements. He could've made millions but he didn't. (In contrast Mahela and Sangakkara sold every inch of their bodies).
    What Arjuna had in leadership, he lacked in personal qualities maybe, especially considering the story about harassing kids who accidentally batted a ball into their home etc.

    Ow, issara monawa nethath discipline, respect for seniors vagee honda deval tibba. Ratee image eka gena yama hangeemak thibba.
    den ewunta ee monawath nee, ratath kanawa, cricketuth kanawa, unwath kaagannawaa.

    Possibly Cricket could not survive without IPL.. - before IPL there was ICL headed by Kapil Dev..

    I believe even Marvan Atapattu mentioned that Test cricket is boring to watch..

    I remember once Hashan making a Ton, in an ODI, even though the team lost.. 😃

    Today it's just 3 - 4 countries in the spotlight..

    And there was a time we did not have fast bowlers.. 🙂

    Still best contested and most watchable matches are Test matches between competitive teams. I think England changed this "boring attitude" towards Test cricket.

    There you can see the Air Lanka bill board on the boundary line..

    One time, I remember listening to the Rupavahini 8.00 PM news, where it said, Marvan went out for a duck for the 6th time or so.. 😃

    I believe I read somewhere that it's Jayasuriya who is the most successful captain of all time..

    Back then if the SL team, scores a single in the first ball, that was a very big deal..

    Did I read somewhere that AR mentioned that Aussie team originated from convicts..?

    Even their female team sledges.. - I watched Alissa Healy getting Chamari Atapattu out, that way.. - just too unfair..

    And interestingly it's AR or SJ, who hit the longest 6 as the ball supposed to have fell in to a truck bed and the truck travelled to Kandy or so..

    "Stephen Grant Randell was accused and arraigned on an indictment containing 32 counts of indecent assault upon 15 females in 1998, contrary to s 127 of the Tasmanian Criminal Code. He pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him. In 1999, he was eventually found guilty of 15 charges of indecent assault against nine girls when he was teaching at Marist Regional College in Burnie between 1981 and 1982. He was sentenced to four years jail with a two-year minimum, and was released on parole in May 2002". - Moody Law..

    Is this issue connected to his antics on the cricket field?
