Despite a thumping win Dimuth wants bowlers to show more maturity
Ireland tour of Sri Lanka 2023
Test captain Dimuth Karunaratne believes though Sri Lanka registered a record-breaking victory against Ireland in the first Test, there are certain areas where they should improve when facing top teams, especially the bowling unit.
“We have a talented Test team with a blend of youngsters. But I still believe we are not 100 per cent, especially bowling-wise. I believe our bowling is still average because sometimes we bowl well but sometimes don’t stick to the plan. We should mend these mistakes when we meet top teams,” said Dimuth at the post-match conference.
“Most of the players have played very little Test cricket. I believe they will improve when they march forward, but they should mature soon because we don’t have that many Test matches to learn, so they should play domestic matches and gain experience,” the skipper further added.
“Batting-wise we got a good combination. I don’t see anything wrong in batting, but one thing we should learn is how to adjust to the conditions when we are on tour. Though we get good starts, it’s anticipated we convert them into big knocks, and if we can do that, I hope we can put on a top performance in any condition”.
Sri Lanka thumped Ireland by innings and 280 runs in the first Test in Galle, with the hosts wrapping up victory after tea on day three.
Ireland, who lost 13 wickets on the day, were bowled out for 168 in their second innings having been rolled for 143 in their first knock as they replied to the home team’s 591-6 declared.
Sri Lanka spinner Prabath Jayasuriya earned match figures of 10-108, backing up his first innings 7-52 with 3-56 the second time around, as his team secured their record victory margin in Test cricket, eclipsing the innings-and-254-run win against Zimbabwe in 2004.
Ireland’s defeat was their fifth in as many games since they were awarded Test status in 2017, with Andy Balbirnie’s men also beaten by Pakistan, Afghanistan, England and Bangladesh.
Jayasuriya’s fellow spinner Ramesh Mendis claimed 4-76 as he equalled Dilruwan Perera in becoming the fastest Sri Lankan to 50 Test wickets – in 11 matches.
“I always try to do the basic things right. If we can stick to them, I believe we can survive in any condition. As a bowling unit we always speak about how to support each other because during the match the role we have will differ from time to time, whereas sometimes I may have the role of bowling dots and create pressure which will enable the other bowlers who bowl from the other end to get the breakthrough,” said the man of the match Prabath Jayasuriya.
Meanwhile, Ireland skipper Andrew Balbirnie insisted that Dimuth Karunaratne winning the toss for Sri Lanka on day one at Galle International Stadium played a key role in the hosts’ record-breaking victory, while also acknowledging the disparity in levels between the two teams.
“We’ve got a couple of more days’ rest, recovery and to train and get used to these conditions; but certainly, our bowlers got some miles in their legs,” Balbirnie said afterwards.
“It was a challenging first inning. Naturally, it was a big toss to win; even though I’m not saying we would have got 600, it was certainly the nicest time to bat in the Test match, in my opinion.
“But I can’t be critical of the players. They’re really trying their hardest to be competitive at this level, but it’s just very difficult when you come up against a team, who in their own conditions, is as good as anyone.
“We will try again in the next Test and hopefully we can put in performances we can be proud of,” he added.

அபார வெற்றி பெற்றாலும், பந்துவீச்சாளர்கள் அதிக முதிர்ச்சியைக் காட்ட வேண்டும் என்று திமுத் விரும்புகிறார்
இலங்கைக்கான அயர்லாந்து சுற்றுப்பயணம் 2023
அயர்லாந்துக்கு எதிரான முதல் டெஸ்டில் இலங்கை அணி சாதனை படைத்த வெற்றியைப் பதிவு செய்தாலும், முன்னணி அணிகளை எதிர்கொள்ளும் போது, குறிப்பாக பந்துவீச்சுப் பிரிவை எதிர்கொள்ளும் சில பகுதிகள் முன்னேற வேண்டும் என்று டெஸ்ட் கேப்டன் திமுத் கருணாரத்ன நம்புகிறார்.
“இளைஞர்களைக் கொண்ட ஒரு திறமையான டெஸ்ட் அணி எங்களிடம் உள்ளது. ஆனால் நாங்கள் 100 சதவிகிதம் இல்லை, குறிப்பாக பந்துவீச்சு வாரியாக இல்லை என்று நான் நம்புகிறேன். சில நேரங்களில் நாங்கள் நன்றாகப் பந்துவீசுகிறோம், ஆனால் சில சமயங்களில் நாங்கள் ஒட்டிக்கொள்வதில்லை, ஏனெனில் எங்கள் பந்துவீச்சு இன்னும் சராசரியாக உள்ளது என்று நான் நம்புகிறேன். நாங்கள் சிறந்த அணிகளை சந்திக்கும் போது இந்த தவறுகளை சரி செய்ய வேண்டும்,” என்று போட்டிக்கு பிந்தைய மாநாட்டில் திமுத் கூறினார்.
“பெரும்பாலான வீரர்கள் மிகக் குறைவான டெஸ்ட் கிரிக்கெட்டை விளையாடியுள்ளனர். அவர்கள் முன்னேறும் போது அவர்கள் முன்னேறுவார்கள் என்று நான் நம்புகிறேன், ஆனால் அவர்கள் விரைவில் முதிர்ச்சியடைய வேண்டும், ஏனெனில் கற்றுக் கொள்ள அதிக டெஸ்ட் போட்டிகள் இல்லை, எனவே அவர்கள் உள்நாட்டு போட்டிகளில் விளையாடி அனுபவத்தைப் பெற வேண்டும், ” கேப்டன் மேலும் கூறினார்.
“பேட்டிங் வாரியாக நாங்கள் ஒரு நல்ல கலவையைப் பெற்றோம். பேட்டிங்கில் நான் தவறாக எதையும் பார்க்கவில்லை, ஆனால் நாம் கற்றுக்கொள்ள வேண்டிய ஒன்று என்னவென்றால், நாங்கள் சுற்றுப்பயணத்தில் இருக்கும்போது நிலைமைகளை எவ்வாறு சரிசெய்வது என்பதுதான். எங்களுக்கு நல்ல தொடக்கங்கள் கிடைத்தாலும், நாங்கள் அவற்றை மாற்றுவோம் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது. பெரிய தட்டிகளில், நாம் அதைச் செய்ய முடிந்தால், எந்த நிலையிலும் சிறந்த செயல்திறனை வெளிப்படுத்த முடியும் என்று நான் நம்புகிறேன்.
காலியில் நடந்த முதல் டெஸ்டில் அயர்லாந்தை இன்னிங்ஸ் மற்றும் 280 ரன்கள் வித்தியாசத்தில் இலங்கை தோற்கடித்தது, மூன்றாவது நாளில் தேநீர் முடிந்த பிறகு வெற்றியை புரட்டிப்போட்டது.
அன்று 13 விக்கெட்டுகளை இழந்த அயர்லாந்து, தனது இரண்டாவது இன்னிங்ஸில் 168 ரன்களுக்கு ஆட்டமிழந்தது, அதன் முதல் ஆட்டத்தில் 143 ரன்களுக்கு சுருண்டது.
இலங்கை சுழற்பந்து வீச்சாளர் பிரபாத் ஜெயசூர்யா தனது முதல் இன்னிங்ஸை 7-52, 3-56 என இரண்டாவது முறையாக ஆதரித்து 10-108 என்ற ஆட்ட எண்ணிக்கையைப் பெற்றார், ஏனெனில் அவரது அணி டெஸ்ட் கிரிக்கெட்டில் தங்கள் சாதனை வெற்றி வித்தியாசத்தைப் பெற்றது, இன்னிங்ஸ் மற்றும் 254-ஐக் கைப்பற்றியது. 2004ல் ஜிம்பாப்வேக்கு எதிராக ரன் வெற்றி.
அயர்லாந்தின் தோல்வி 2017 இல் டெஸ்ட் அந்தஸ்து பெற்றதிலிருந்து பல ஆட்டங்களில் ஐந்தாவது தோல்வியாகும், ஆண்டி பால்பிர்னியின் ஆட்களும் பாகிஸ்தான், ஆப்கானிஸ்தான், இங்கிலாந்து மற்றும் பங்களாதேஷ் ஆகியோரால் தோற்கடிக்கப்பட்டனர்.
ஜெயசூர்யாவின் சக சுழற்பந்து வீச்சாளர் ரமேஷ் மெண்டிஸ் 4-76 என்ற கணக்கில் தில்ருவான் பெரேராவை சமன் செய்து, 11 போட்டிகளில் – அதிவேகமாக 50 டெஸ்ட் விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்திய இலங்கை வீரர் என்ற பெருமையை பெற்றார்.
“நான் எப்போதும் அடிப்படை விஷயங்களைச் சரியாகச் செய்ய முயல்கிறேன். நாம் அவற்றைக் கடைப்பிடித்தால், எந்த நிலையிலும் வாழ முடியும் என்று நான் நம்புகிறேன். ஒரு பந்துவீச்சுப் பிரிவாக நாங்கள் எப்போதும் ஒருவரையொருவர் எப்படி ஆதரிப்பது என்பதைப் பற்றி பேசுகிறோம், ஏனென்றால் போட்டியின் போது நாம் வகிக்கும் பங்கு வேறுபடும். அவ்வப்போது, அதேசமயம் சில சமயங்களில் நான் பந்துவீச்சு புள்ளிகள் மற்றும் அழுத்தத்தை உருவாக்கலாம், இது மறுமுனையில் இருந்து பந்து வீசும் மற்ற பந்துவீச்சாளர்களுக்கு திருப்புமுனையைப் பெற உதவும்” என்று போட்டியின் நாயகன் பிரபாத் ஜெயசூரிய கூறினார்.
இதற்கிடையில், காலி சர்வதேச மைதானத்தில் நடைபெற்ற முதல் நாள் ஆட்டத்தில் இலங்கைக்காக டாஸ் வென்ற திமுத் கருணாரத்ன, புரவலர்களின் சாதனை முறியடிக்கும் வெற்றியில் முக்கியப் பங்காற்றினார் என்று அயர்லாந்து கேப்டன் ஆண்ட்ரூ பால்பிர்னி வலியுறுத்தினார், அதே நேரத்தில் இரு அணிகளுக்கும் இடையிலான சமநிலையின் ஏற்றத்தாழ்வையும் ஒப்புக்கொண்டார்.
“எங்களுக்கு இன்னும் இரண்டு நாட்கள் ஓய்வு, மீட்பு மற்றும் பயிற்சி மற்றும் இந்த நிலைமைகளுக்குப் பழகிவிட்டோம்; ஆனால் நிச்சயமாக, எங்கள் பந்துவீச்சாளர்கள் தங்கள் கால்களில் சில மைல்கள் உள்ளன,” என்று பால்பிர்னி பின்னர் கூறினார்.
“இது ஒரு சவாலான முதல் இன்னிங்ஸ். இயற்கையாகவே, இது ஒரு பெரிய டாஸ் ஆகும்; நாங்கள் 600 ரன்களை எடுத்திருப்போம் என்று நான் கூறவில்லை என்றாலும், டெஸ்ட் போட்டியில் பேட்டிங் செய்ய இதுவே சிறந்த நேரம் என்பது என் கருத்து.
“ஆனால் நான் வீரர்களை விமர்சிக்க முடியாது. அவர்கள் இந்த மட்டத்தில் போட்டித்தன்மையுடன் இருக்க மிகவும் கடினமாக முயற்சி செய்கிறார்கள், ஆனால் நீங்கள் ஒரு அணிக்கு எதிராக வரும்போது அது மிகவும் கடினம், அவர்கள் தங்கள் சொந்த சூழ்நிலையில், யாரையும் போல சிறந்தவர்கள். .
“அடுத்த டெஸ்டில் நாங்கள் மீண்டும் முயற்சிப்போம், நாங்கள் பெருமைப்படக்கூடிய செயல்திறனை வெளிப்படுத்த முடியும்” என்று அவர் மேலும் கூறினார்.

Lifebouy Ball Blaster 2025 – Group B Wide Open as Royal, Aligar & Kalutara Battle for Top Spot
The race for qualification in Group B of the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025 Schools Football Tournament is heating up, with three top schools still in contention for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Royal College Leads the Pack
Royal College, Colombo currently sits on top of Group B after an impressive 5-0 victory, showcasing both dominance and attacking flair. With two crucial matches left, Royal remains the favorite to finish as group leaders — but the battle is far from over.
Aligar Central’s Mixed Fortunes
Aligar Central College, last year’s runners-up and inaugural Ball Blaster champions, have had a mixed campaign so far. After one win and one narrow loss — the latter coming from an unfortunate own goal — the team still remains firmly in the race for qualification.
Kalutara Muslim Still in the Hunt
Kalutara Muslim Central College, one of the most competitive sides in this year’s tournament, has only played one game so far — securing a 1-0 win. With two matches still to play, they remain a real threat to the current table leaders.
Maris Stella Struggling for Form
Maris Stella College, on the other hand, has had a tough run, losing both their opening fixtures and conceding nine goals in the process. They will now look to finish strong and disrupt the group standings in the remaining matches.
With the Group B stage still wide open, the coming matchdays promise thrilling encounters as Royal, Aligar, and Kalutara fight for the top two quarterfinal spots in the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025.

Zahira College Colombo Dominate Group A — Gampola Zahira and Darussalam Battle for Second Spot
The Group A stage of the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025 Schools Football Championship is heating up, with Zahira College Colombo emerging as the clear frontrunner after an unbeaten run in their first two matches. With six points and an impressive 8–2 goal difference, Zahira are well on course to top the group and secure a direct berth to the quarterfinals.
Zahira’s attacking flair and tactical balance have made them one of the most complete teams in this year’s tournament. Their consistent performances have set the tone in Group A, making them strong contenders for the overall title.
Behind them, the battle for the second qualifying spot is intensifying between Darussalam College and Gampola Zahira College. Both teams currently sit on three points each, but Darussalam have played one match more, leaving Gampola Zahira with a crucial game in hand.
Kingswood College, despite showing moments of promise, have struggled to convert opportunities into results and remain winless after three outings.
With two group matches remaining, the race for quarterfinal qualification is expected to go down to the wire. Zahira Colombo, the current Group A leader, will likely face Vaddakkachchi Central College (D2) from Group D in the knockout stage, while the second-placed team will meet Hameed Al Husseinie College (D1) — setting up thrilling contests ahead.

According to the tournament structure, Group D winner Hameed Al Husseinie College (D1) will face Group A runner-up (A2) in the quarterfinals, while Vaddakkachchi Central (D2) will meet Group A winner, most probably Zahira College Colombo (A1) — a clash that promises thrilling football action.
