That is what Sangakara should be saying now after his last night meet in Dhramsena's place....It was a very pathetic display of game through out the series by Srilanka who cheated took local umpires help to set up a false standing for finals...It all started in first game of Srilanka and India frustrated with the defeat which is a part of the game Sangakkara tried to stop the century of Sehwag at last ball.Captains use cricket amendments for good reasons but captains like Sangakkara are exceptions for this.
Here is how the scenario went like Sangakkara the Srilankan skipper cum Keeper was frustrated with
Sehwag's nearly completed century and Indian win both of which required 1 run to be completed.Sangakkara knew Indian win was sure for the taking which started his mind to run in wrong ways.He yelled in frustration to Randiv who was bowling them.If he connects he will complete his century.Tilakratne Dilshan joined in you can bowl a no ball to stop his century.Randiv didn't think twice of the goodwill of his cricket board and some legendary former players like Jayasuriya,De Silva,Murlidharan and bowled an intentional "NO BALL" which was smacked by Sehwag for a six but still couldn't get his century as India won with that no ball run and runs scored off that bowl were not given to him

Not thinking at once that he has to play under Sehwag for the next IPL this act by Dilshan was raised highly by media around the globe and lator by concerned ICC officials forcing Srilankan cricket board to suspend Randiv for a 1 match ban and cut off Dilshan's match fee and leave Sangakkara with a warning...
Everyone hoped that Sri Lankan cricket would be back on track with this light punishment but more hard was yet to come against Newzealand in very next match when Sangakkara physically hurt Macullum intentionally but still escaped punishment.
Here is what all happened...Sanga hit Maccullam's for a four and then some words were exchanged between the two.Next 2 balls were a bit hard to play for Sangakkara forcing him on a back step on the very next ball he pushed it and ran for a double but despite of enough space available he banged his Elbow into Maccllum intentionally he was charged for level 2 offence which was dismissed later on for unavailability of solid proofs.This incident reminds me of Denis Lily and Miandad incident.But that that didn't stop Srilankans from cheating.The very next match had something more special to follow.

The last match was washed out and last to last match was lost by SL so this was crucial to remain in the game.As a result Srilankan Umpire Dharamsena joined in with the players to help them out sorting strong Indian batting line up.Reminds me of Buckner+ Australia at Sydney
With 5 great players of India sent back to pavellion Dharamsena was feeling proud after giving cricket a black name that cricket which gave him Bread and Butter.
5 Indian batsmen were sent to pavilion even when they were not out and clearly not out.Decisions included not only for LBW but snicks by bat which even snickometer failed to prove but Dharamsena proved them
The players were KD Karthick,V. Sehwag,Rohit Sharma,Yuvraj Singh and Raina.
This is one of the pathetic series which visitors have ever had in Srilanka and would certainly mark a black mark on the team.And if Srilanka keeps on treating guests like this I hope there no difference between what they got in Lahore and what they deliver now to their guests and may have to pay the same penalty eventually...Sounds bad but true
