Russel Premakumaran Arnold (born October 25, 1973, Colombo) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer of Tamil descent. Arnold made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1997 and his One day international debut against South Africa later in the year. Originally an opening batsmen, Arnold has 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 as does Muttiah Muralitharan. Nicknamed "Rusty" by Roshan Mahanama and Pramodya Wickramasinge, due to it being a very common nickname for the name Russel, and also it complimented his batting style as tough and durable- though not really pretty.
During April 2007 he announced, through team manager Michael Tissera, a shock to Sri Lankan cricket that 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. Others to retire in the world cup include - Anil Kumble, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Brian Lara and Glenn McGrath.

Hello little sister.
Heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy, hey hey hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Fantastic cricket.
Yes, he is Russel Arnold.....a LHB ( Left hand batsman)
Born october 25, 1973.
Russel Arnold will now progress as a coach for the future Lakan Lions youngster cubs.
Russel Arnold speaks: Tamil, English, & Sinhalese.
Russel Arnold made his test debut in 1996-97, & his one day International bowl a year later, Arnold has become reliable if low profile LAkan Lion member of Sri Lankan team. His left handed batting (Like you SMARNY) has been employed either at the top of the order, or lower down, & his off breaks have been particularly useful in limited overs cricket & is better than Daniel Vettori.
Cricket is a national passion and an intergal part of life in Sri Lanka. Today, it is very important part of our modern culture. Cricket has also unified our nation and brought together diverse people.
