So SLC have money for a new Lawyer, but don’t have funds to protect an defend its own player. Disgraceful, All of SLC Should be sacked.

It is NOT necessay to bail him out he is safe in australia

Who is paying for the new lawyer we 22 million people starving in sri-lanka children fainting in schools no milk powder WHY ARE YOU WASTING OUR MONEY THIS IS A CRIME
Ah ah ah Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:02 PM
Why ask the people who stole the money to transfer a fraction of what stolen. Can Namal baby look into this matter
Wickremasinghe, Tokyo Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:08 PM
Surely, that amount is peanuts for Namal Rajapakse when compared to what they looted from the public. This could help him to slightly diminish his highly tarnished image. Machan, now is your turn for survival.

In which world do these cricketers in SL actually live !!!??? Most of the people of Sri Lanka have been suffering tremendously from the economic conditions for months and into next year and the SLC is raising AUD 200,000 in bail for a highly questionable figure suspected of committing criminal acts against women!!! That leaves you speechless!!!
Karalasingam Sivalingam Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:13 PM
Very pathetic, this is a lesson for all sport men and women, the necessity to maintain discipline and complete the tasks entrusted on them.
Mr Mentally Weakened Saturday, 12 November 2022 07:39 PM
Why you think our man wasn’t entrapped by the particular woman. Young and attractive woman (with no other means to have life, are known to look for materials benefits from associating with wealthy or successful man. Those woman go out their way to smile and flirt to connect with hard (young) working men. Why you think the woman is not making up a lot of lies, after sucking in our man for sex through her for devious intention.
ANTON Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:18 PM
SLC NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL. DISMISS THE ENTIRE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AND APPOINT A NEW CLEAN TEAM.
Mahesh Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:29 PM
Hasaranga can waste money by giving funds to a well known rule breaker but not a single rupee to any useful matter. Also why slc worry about this matter. This is a personel issue related to a molester not slc. Probably slc members too involved in such molesting stuff. Icc unit investigate slc members immediately.
Daham Sunday, 13 November 2022 05:18 AM
Hasaranga is obliged to SLC because he was pardoned after he was caught sleeping with the team’s lady doctor.
Lasantha de Silva Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:34 PM
The poor woman whose life he destroyed struggles even more. Why spend money on a criminal instead of spending on hungry children.
Mr Mentally Weakened Saturday, 12 November 2022 07:44 PM
Huh, where do have evidence of her life destroyed? You know about her first hand in Australia? In Australia there is many cases where woman has done everything wrong in her actions to me, out of anger, spite or for monetary gains. In the West, there are several films about angry woman trapping decent man, including using sex, and sometimes just making accusation for being rejected.
Proudly IndiAn Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:38 PM
So… Now you people decided to save a guy who misbehaves and bring disgrace to whole region by spending mostly needed dollers whilst the food and economic crisis and lack of emergency medicines and employment issues at it’s worse..?! Idk what to say.. :’/
tilak Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:46 PM
any nut who comes forward to pay this bail amount is a tacit supporter of the crime. When there are so many in SL whose basic needs are not met, why would anyone donate $200,000 to bail a repest offender He did the crime, let him do the time
Dilshan Perera Saturday, 12 November 2022 02:54 PM
Ask Danushkas appachchi, the Kehelmala Rambukwella Balconige, with the Right side golden ankle..

Rajapaksa’s family can help him because they are very fond of helping criminals.
Cugan Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:09 PM
They try to save him ,let his house sold,or ask ME house maids to pay for it……. All they wants protect the wrongdoers of home.and abroad, if that would have been happned in SL she would have been charged and in prison
Pundayandy Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:10 PM
Authorites could have let DG to talk to media to express the reality, without waiting until court hearing. This woman/harlot may have plotted this for publicity so that many can create news.

Bandu Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:24 PM
What a bunch of jokers SLC. I think its a SL tradition to protect the criminals. Because most people in power are crooks , sadly
Nihal S Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:43 PM
It does not cost A$200,000 for a bail application in Australia. There must be other deals in this fund raising. “All work up to and including a full day in court, from: Courts in Sydney City and Metropolitan Area: $2500 GST. Courts in Other NSW Cities (Gosford, Newcastle, Wollongong etc): $3000 GST. Courts in NSW Country Areas: $3500 GST and travel disbursements if required”.
Aussi PR Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:45 PM
I am aware of the legal system in Australia. It does not cost A$200,000 to submit a bail application – it is no more than $4,000. SLC please make an official statement. Who is stealing money here?
Winning matters Saturday, 12 November 2022 11:18 PM
How you know that system so well – have you beaten false sexual assault allegations made against you? I searched online, seeing all this comments about high amount $200,000 and found it depends on any number of things. Saw also Sydney criminal law firms have lawyer who can estimate based on charges. The truth will found out, about bail costs if bail is granted. Our country/government supported officials are doing national service by fighting against the obvious lies by the accuser who has now got the full strength of Australian legal system to attack our man. Maybe even the wicked/yaksa woman may even has accomplice, like her boyfriend to abuse her, and say Danushka did it to blackmail our man.
Peacemaker Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:46 PM

Jonny Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:47 PM
Ask hasaranga, mendis and dick-wella for some funds they can part for some for their bestie
Nihal S Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:50 PM
Be careful of this could be a fake news. No confirmation from the SLA, and the cost indicated is more than 25 times of the legal fee to make a bail application in Australia.
Winning matters Saturday, 12 November 2022 11:31 PM
When bail is granted the truth will be known. The actual loyalty to winning/cricket and our nation, or other country woman is clear from some commentators. Some in our nation always think the white skinned woman are most perfect, which came after the Europeans came here long time ago brainwashed the stupid into believing that. Problem with our culture, too many still think white woman better and more honest than our men.
chandran-kandy Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:51 PM
$200000 mean nearly over 7 crores one crore equal to 100 lakhs rupees then from whose money SLC going to pay this bail money to Australian courts to this blunder cricketer.
Ram Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:51 PM
If SLC took over to help Danushka SLC must put the bail money. In my mind SLC was in error when it stepped into help this rascal
Bernard Jayatilake Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:55 PM
The SLC need not struggle to raise money for sexual damage if the government allocates a fund called “Reserve for Cricket Misdemeanors” in addition to the massive annual allocation for cricket under the guise of Sports Ministry.
Chris Saturday, 12 November 2022 03:56 PM
How much has Hasaranga done for the poor children in SL. This shows us that we should stop worshiping these idiots. No morals. Only know to throw a ball and swing a bat. Wish the judge asks for 500,000 dollars.
dickie bird Saturday, 12 November 2022 04:14 PM
Shammi Silva recently bragged SLC cofferes had more money than that of the NZ Cricket Board? What happened to that money? They too spent on Australian bimbos
Aquarius Saturday, 12 November 2022 04:19 PM
Even if the case remains to be proved in courts, why ask the public or individuals to come up with the bail money? Would we do the same thing for someone accused of murder and awaiting trial until proven guilty? This whole thing has gone bonkers and the SLC is a total mess and taking Sri Lanka into further disgrace.
Disgusted Saturday, 12 November 2022 04:35 PM
This is such a disgusting piece of news. Rightfully, this rapist should pay the lawyer with his own money, not the SLC. When millions are starving in the country nobody cared to raise or donate this kind of money to feed them. But our idiotic lot will gladly raise this money to bail this piece of shit out. How pathetic can Sri Lankans get!
Winning matters Saturday, 12 November 2022 11:27 PM
What, how you know he’s a rapist. Were you there to witness the matter, or are you like all those who hate our winning culture just slinging mud. Australians have lots of depression and mental problems, but in our country we are strong even with many material problems. Our people have better winning mindset that those with easy lives to make vicious accusations, like the yaksani in Sydney.
Seqi Saturday, 12 November 2022 04:45 PM
Bail is small potatoes in comparison to solicitor fees, barrister fees, court fees, delays fees, witness fees, jury fees and accomodations, …. January is just a first hearing….. Sri Lankan lawyers and courts are cheap……

Winning matters Saturday, 12 November 2022 11:22 PM
Danushka is going on official duty. He was trying to have a bit of fun during the tour during off time, but got snared by the devil/yaksani. The yaksani could have even planned this with an accomplice to frame Danushka for money, I don’t know what was in her twisted mind when she makes up the preposterous lies.
Kamu Seeni Saturday, 12 November 2022 07:32 PM
The SLC should be getting loans for it. I doubt Wanindu Hasaranga would ever donate a massive amount sum. What’s the truth about the donations? Is DM reporting accurately, or just putting through hearsay? SLC is known to have enormous revenue, and worst about not putting up bail is having to wait longer in remand. The whole matter about not having money, after they gave so much in gifts/donations recently seems really suspicious.
Rajiv De Silva Saturday, 12 November 2022 07:36 PM
Shame! Shame! Shame! This is not cricket for everyone who is involved in this.
Winning matters Saturday, 12 November 2022 11:23 PM

Hasaranga so far has not given any money to good causes like helping the starving kids etc, but all out to give large sum of money to help a habitual rapist free.
Mike Weer Saturday, 12 November 2022 09:30 PM
He had previous criminal records, even before boarding the flight. How did he get through immigration with a history of criminal records. Get to the root, the SLC board is responsible for it and not the taxpayers money. Fire the whole cricket bord and get some people who loves cricket. Let him pay for his own mistakes.

Let him stay in jail till trial. This is not our responsibility. SLC and in fact the entire country is starved of funds. If his friends are able to raise bail money, let them. This should not be thrusted on SLC or the Sports Ministry or the public purse. If former sports minister Namal is feeling sorry, he can lend some of the looted money to bail the player.
Sureshika peiris Sunday, 13 November 2022 01:28 AM

Why should country pay for such notorious acts of cricketers. Let the cricket team pay from their earnings. Public money never be utilised for such acts. This cricketer was previously suspended. He is a bad character. Let them find their money or be jailed.
DW Sunday, 13 November 2022 04:33 AM
Firstly, he’s innocent until proven guilty. Secondly, doesn’t Gunathilaka himself have money? He’s been an International cricketer. Surely, he can use some of his money.

Collecting money for a rapist? SLCB has nothing else to do?
R.M Sunday, 13 November 2022 06:12 AM
A$200, 000 is not a big amount for SLC. It would have spent several times more to send the entire Executive Committee of SLC to Australia and spend over a month in 5 star-Hotels presumably to look after SL Cricketers.
Jayapala Ambepussa Sunday, 13 November 2022 07:59 AM
Kalakanni Parliamentarians will never develop this country as has Benn done since 1948!! Poor people are suffering without food, medicine,oil, books, fertiliser etc. Now raising $200,000 to pay for this unwanted sex seller like RW!! MPs are more interested this Gon Pin Work than helping the general public! Hena – Hena – Hena for all taking money from the parliament.

Mr. Mentally, Whether Raped or Not, seems your agreeing (or you to do the same) When was on national duty can go and enjoy himself with girls. If he wants to play with girls instead of cricket he can go on his own money.
Mr Mentally Weakened Sunday, 13 November 2022 05:43 PM
All Danushka activities for enjoyment were happening when our team was not playing cricket.You expect cricketer will have morale improvement is doing meditation all day, or more likely no fun and all work will make them impotent to play even on the oval.
ozi ozi ozi Sunday, 13 November 2022 08:45 AM
First, This is the responsibility of Danushka Gunatilleke to raise $200,000. He is an IPL player and I am sure he can raise the money by him self. He got into this trouble by him self because he could not keep his d**k in his pants. This is not the responsibility of the Sri Lanka cricket. Second point, we do not know the bail conditions. If Danushka does not comply with the bail conditions then, somebody is going to loose lot of money. Here you do not need cash. You use a property as the bond. I am sure there are many politicians in SL who own properties in Australia. Third, this is not the first time a Sri Lankan citizen got caught for rape allegations NSW. There were several incidences we know and they had no help from the SL consulate in Sydney. Finally, Today everybody is talking about Danushka. Which is fine with me. How about the other Sri Lankan’s who in NSW prisons. Nobody is talking about them. Sri Lankan consulate is useless. No need for a consulate office in Sydney.
Anna Sunday, 13 November 2022 03:25 PM
Btw. There is no SL consulate in SYD anymore. They had to close shop in Martin Place when the country went bankrupt.
Mr Mentally Weakened Sunday, 13 November 2022 05:57 PM
If Sri Lankan come on official duty and got accused, Sri Lankan government will help. You make it out like you want Sri Lanka cricketer to be impotent, so they can’t have sex during their off work time. Maybe the can’t win Afghanistan team is getting some anti-erection medicine to make them unable to have sex, but that’s then affecting their capability during matches too.
sam Sunday, 13 November 2022 08:51 AM
So what Dhanushka did must have been a part of the SLC agreement with cricketers, if not why SLC has to do this? He is safer inside than outside.
NS Aust Sunday, 13 November 2022 09:56 AM
Is this true? I am an Aust citizen and have some knowledge about the local system. A$200,000 is a massive amount of money in local context and a bail application does not cost more than 3% of the quoted amount. I believe this is not a SLC initiative. Some one is trying to make money using DG and Hasaranga names. Be careful, unless SLC make a public announcement confirming the initiative.
cricket fan Sunday, 13 November 2022 10:12 AM
This woman comes from an affluent suburb of Rosebay in Sydney bordering the Sydney Harbour and has to be very wealthy and is no ordinary chic. She may have realized Danushka is a Sri Lankan cricketer and demanded big money that’s when things may have got out of hand.
Sammy Sunday, 13 November 2022 10:41 AM
@Mr. Mentally Weakened you are playing apologist to Danushka and questioning the intentions of the woman involved. Even if what you are stating maybe true, she could not have forced Danushka to have sex with her but only enticed him. He was not on a private visit but part of a sports team representing the country. He should have exercised caution and restraint anyway. This assuming he is innocent.
Mr Mentally Weakened Sunday, 13 November 2022 05:51 PM
Why you think anything the woman said is true? We don’t have evidence from him that he even had sex, but going along that he did, what’s wrong with him to have sex? He was not meeting her during his work time. Are you jealous of successful men being able to bed woman? Too much puritan thinking is what Taliban is like, and see where their impotent team ended up.
Punchi Sunday, 13 November 2022 11:04 AM
Why does the SLC want to bail him ? doesn’t he like the accomodation, food and sex life ? Also if he is bailed who is going to pay his hotel expenditure say at the cheapest rates AUD$200, per day, food expenditure and possibly escort services ( unless we are going to divert a damsel going to UAE to Australia for him) and transport him from residence to police station to check in as may be required
sam Sunday, 13 November 2022 12:54 PM

Lol, I find it hilarious how some of you are coming op with excuses for this so called ‘apey kolla’ He has been framed, it’s extortion and blackmail as he is famous, lose woman etc etc. Famous/Wealthy? Sorry to disposing you folk! Honestly, majority of Aussies, have no idea who any of the SL cricketers are and won’t bother giving them a second glance. This goes for some of us SL diaspora living here too, who’ve. never heard of this cricketer until he made the headlines for all the wrong reasons over here (guilty or not guilty at this stage). The current crop of players are resting on the laurels of the SL teams gone by. As for extortion/blackmail – if this victim can afford to live in Rose Bay in the eastern suburbs of Sydney I am certain she is twice as rich as this cricketer! LKR millionaires counts for nothing in this part of the world. Welcome to reality !
Frank Boilee Sunday, 13 November 2022 07:21 PM

RP Monday, 14 November 2022 12:15 AM
I squarely blame our SLC for not enforcing tough rules on our Players while touring foreign countries. I’m not here to defend Danushka or the Woman, let the Australian Justice System take care of that. One thing is clear, Danushka didn’t invite the woman to his hotel room and forced himself on to her. It was the woman who invited him to her place, perhaps to play Poker?
Ranjana Monday, 14 November 2022 04:48 AM
‘Mr Mentally Weakened’ and ‘Winning matters’ did read your comments. Are you paid by his supporters? Will you do the same if same thing happened to your sister or relatives? Why he was “on duty” after his injury? Dont we have other talents to be replaced? Its not “he used to Australian condition”. now whole world knows what conditions he used to. We are struggling to bring dollars to country. With this idiot, 200k AUD needs to be paid out. I do live in Australia. In most of the adult cases, its pretty easy to get bail in australian law in first sitting unless the crime is againsed children and women. Denying bail means, police has enough evidence to pin point its him. So dont bring that “not guilty unless proven”. “Honey Trap” is common everywhere. When you represent your country, be an example. Put your ball guard outside the game too. Lucrative indian IPL players are still under strict rules on outside activity on a tour. Danishka’s past tour histories are not so good too. So sti
