Sport - World Cup   

A sensational defeat

Angry Sri Lanka skipper Sanath Jayasuriya lashed out at his teammates after they crashed to a sensational defeat to Kenya. "This was one of the worst matches of my life. I am very disappointed," confessed the captain.

"Their score of 210 was very gettable, but we played like amateurs, not the professionals which we are supposed to be. We have to forget this as quickly as possible and get on playing good cricket. This was very bad cricket by all of us." Jayasuriya was left fuming after his team was bowled out for just 157.
