~~"ARnold Swazennegger" of sri lanka cricket???
Terminator of many other teams ' dreams of beating sri Lanka......
He was the main hitter of sixers in Hong kong cricket tournament. in the past.
many dont talk about his hard hitting ability & quick reflexes to grab fantastic catches.
in the 2003 Cricket World Cup saw him sidelined for many months. However, he fought his way back into the side with a string of good scores in domestic cricket for his club, Nondescripts. A calm and cool player in a crisis situation, Arnold has dragged Sri Lanka out of many sticky situations. He is highly valued for his gritty qualities and is considered an unselfish team man. He is considered an ideal No. 6; he is a good fielder and can bowl useful off breaks as well.
however he last international appearence in this 2007 world cup final was distroyed bypoor umpiring.
the umpires in the final distroyed this players ' dream of having say good bye as a member of world cup winning team.
referees shold be given authority to OVER rule poor dicissions.
Russel Arnold.....thank you man for your
marvelous service to Mother Lanka.
Bravo~~~~

Russel Premakumaran Arnold, born on October 25, 1973, at Colombo was a Sri Lankan cricketer. Arnold made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1997 and his One day international debut against South Africa later in the year.
Originally he was an opening batsmen. He since moved down the batting order. He is most famous in the pearl island as a utility and very versatile- making him ideally suitable for the limited over version of the game. However when he started his career, he was seen primarily as a solid top order batsmen where he impressed against Australia during the AIWA cup of 1999, as well as the subsequen test series against them, where he batted at no. 3.
Failure in the 2003 Cricket World Cup saw him sidelined for many months. However, he fought his way back into the side with a string of good scores in domestic cricket for his club, Nondescripts. A calm and cool player in a crisis situation, Arnold has dragged Sri Lanka out of many sticky situations. He is highly valued for his gritty qualities and is considered an unselfish team man. He is considered an ideal No. 6; he is a good fielder and can bowl useful off breaks as well. He is a methodist Christian and speaks Tamil..
During April 2007 he announced, through team manager Michael Tissera, he intended to retire from the international cricketing scene after the World Cup final. He cited that the pressure of too much travel as his reason.
