Kumar Sangakkara - MCC Spirit of Cricket Lecture at Lord's- Part 1

[rathucapricon]

I guess the word "outstanding" would be an understatement......it is , undoubtedly , one great speech ever-ever-ever heard so far from a sportsman!! Bravo !!

[ameyutube786]

Hat's off you man.................

[ameyutube786]

This is called the Real Cricketer & true nationalist.The greatness comes with the great responsibilities.Not like yearly do the dozens of adv. & keep the mum for national issues.

[theivd]

This is great stuff, thanks for posting.

[madathamilan]

The Sports Minister of SL is mad because his name was not mentioned at least ones (for what anyway?) and Sanga didn't suck (U know what) of the president crediting him for all the success SL Cricket has had so far (the normal way of doing business in SL), instead he chose to glorify Arjuna, (also not a saint) a guy who deserves credit but an opponent of the ruling goons and their cronies. Long live Sanga

[madathamilan]

@sunethchat; the one who dislikes is one of our own; The Sports Minister of Sri Lanka!

[vigneshkrishnan]

He speaks well!

[Musicsandun]

Proud of you brother................nice speech

[kushlan]

I THINK THE HONOURABLE MINISTER does not understand english, that is why he has called for an inquiry, can somebody translate the speech to sinhala and send him

anyway very well said sanga....

[kushlan]

well said Sanga... hope corrupted sport minister and the cricket board will learn a lesson...

[sunethchat]

One who disliked must be a fucking Indian!

[vinci88]

@sunethchat you, sir, are an idiot of first order. Who do you think has uploaded this video? An Indian. Stop trolling or I'll flame your bloody ass next time.

[STFpolice1]

@vinci88 hahahahahahah well said, idiot of the first order lmao

[HunnyCatch]

@sunethchat fuck you mother fucker .. stop imposing or you will get your arse kicked. Behave like how he does or else rotten. Fucking loser!!

[DreddWolff]

@sunethchat Fuck you, you piece of shit.

[SeriousOnRs]

Great speech. Very well spoken and very inspirational.

Well done Kumar

[TheWendy7373]

Great speech Sanga! It was so over whelming that it brought a tear to our eyes, made our hearts full of gratitude...…. We really love you and miss you been the Sri Lankan Cricket Captain… We are PROUD of you…. Well done Sanga…

[dhamsu]

[picf123]

[scanurasiri1]

You are great Sanga I call you srilankan Mr.cricket. Please Good help us to destroy this spoild politicians. I belive that Good will help us as mighty help us with terrorist.

Good bless Sanga, and our team and our great country.

[butterflyZx4]

i lost some of my respect for u sanga when u quit being captain so quickly, but after hearing this u reminded me of why i used to love u and now i not only love as a cricketer but as a great human!!! i'm glad ur a sinhalese whom thinks like this, i have tamil friends too whom i love so much and we want to eliminate all this hatred!!! i know u have to explain urself nw for this speech, but many sri lankans including myself are supporting you!! i've never enjoyed a speech more!!

[ipksb1]

Apparently now he's having to 'explain himself' to the sports minister. What a joke. I hope Sri lankans will stand by him. This is so typical of these corrupt bastereds to punish people for speaking the truth. I'm sinhalese and I'm so ashamed of our own people sometimes. What Sanga did was amazing and you left me speechless. I will never forget this. Everyone will be behind you, it's time to stop this bullshit and move forward with integrity and focus on ONLY our game.

[ruwanga1984]

True Story about Sril lanka cricket. Well-done sanga. I’m really proud about you.

[thusith34]

awesome sanga .. thumbs up 1000 time.. i love you so mach.. seriously you mack me cry,,

[soatsri17]

truely amazing sanga......hats off....:)

[MrLankanlion]

thumbs up if anyone think sanga will have to pay with his career or life for this speech against the governement.

[Prankcafe]

@MrLankanlion not with his life. wth

[ihsanneng]

this speech has made me give more respect to SrI Lanka and it's people.....

[kaluwa2007]

Sanga will be deported BY SL.. lol



[thilina7711]

politics can mess with anything but mess with our cricket, now thats crossing the line...we take our cricket very seriously...VERY seriously!

[alexshaun98]

Well done, Sangakkara.

[Prankcafe]

World class man with the integrity that is being lacked by many players.

[MascareV1]

A risky step taken by Sangakara.But to be honest he deserves a standing ovation.He knowns he will have to go through a lot once he reaches Sri lanka.I hope ICC supports him and God bless this courageous man.

[shiranthakumara76]

RESPECT, in bold capital letters............explains loads of things........can understand how much weight u are carrying in our heart at the moment. Hopefully oneday we will hear the real TRUTH and some one pay for their sins.

I dont think the Honourable Minister had time to listen to the speech, so he has called for an inquiry, an immediate one, so he can listen to the full speech, what to say. This just prove what you said Sanga thats all, nothing else.

[sabeshhardy]

srilanka would have won the wc final if they hadn't mach fixed

[jakespeedsback]

Sanga.... what a speech... really proud 2 be Sri Lankan..

[shahabkalim]

what a player... what a man

[m00mba666]

Class act to the core. A very well delivered speech. I hope he becomes a commentator when he eventually retires. Regards, an Englishman.

[kayapa29]

I think he should be given the Nobel award for this speech

[rumit99]

Sanga for president!

[asianprince911]

Don’t think i’ve ever heard such a professional, balanced, emotive and inspiring speech, on Sri Lanka, by a Sri Lankan about very real and serious concerns that impede reconciliation and development of our beloved country. What's happening at the cricket board is but a reflection of what's happening in the country at large. With amazing nuanced eloquence, you've spelt out the criteria and caliber of those needed to win and sustain meaningful peace, development and prosperity for us all

[jansenterprise]

You are a true son of Lanka, I am proud of you. Sri Lanka is proud of you.

[digitalsenze]

Great Speech.  :)

[hitokiribattousai77]

Fantastic Speak Kumar; it is great to see people like you represent out country..

[999MOla]

may triple gem bless you brother!

[casperlancer]

a great speech, didnt expect anything less from u sanga..weldone :)

[gunot5827]

great speech, i really did wonder why he gave up the captaincy as there was no real logic seeing as dilshan is older than him

[david75sl]

Thank you Sanga! you make us proud to be Srilankan. We all have a reason for being here.... I think this speech was yours... Well done

[midfieldhouse]

Apart from Mr Lakshman Kadirgamar's speeches, the best speech I have ever heard from a Sri Lankan. You are a true gentlemen and role model!

[samerafdo]

well done sanga...u r legend.....

[vpcomments]

i dont think the potical vultures will leave any stones unturned towards destroying his future. but as we all know, he is a real man, a true ambassador of his fabulous country . i am sure he has all the support of his team mates, esp. mahela (needless to mention), lasith and sanath, the 'he man :-) and millions of cricket lovers all over the world. hats off to sanga for the boldness and advance 'congrats'. this is the reason why we like them!!! hats off to sanga and team.

[kanchana735]

Sanga..!!! you are more than a cricketer ... what a speech.. hats off to you!!!

[lakmini14]

wow Sanga. You make all Sri Lankans proud. Your amazing personality will be an inspiration for generations to come. A great man of our times.......

[everanju]

Respect Sanga! I have listen to many inspiring speeches done by many people around the world and now it's our own countryman making a grand inspiring speech at MCC lords. Thank You!

[muthalvan]

thanks sanga..as a tamil, i feel that people like you will lift the hatred tht we have between each other for no reason. your courage and knowledge will be greatly needed. Salute and god bless you my brother.

[malakautube]

@muthalvan as a sinhalese i agree with you and Sanga.

[ishara07]

@muthalvan Brother we are with you .. respect to you and Sanga ..We need to get together and build the country ..we have had enough with dumbass politicians

[TheLadyzar]

[youcanfindgayan]
