T20 World Cup Cheerleaders (Video)
Ever since the IPL introduced cheerleaders it has boggled the Janusian sub-continental male mind. Like Indian MPs watching Sunny Leone in Parliament, they like but don’t like. In Sri Lanka we briefly resolved this tension by having cheerleaders in semi-normal outfits with spandex tights underneath. Which looks insanely bad. Honestly, it would be much better if they just danced in sari.

I went to the England/India match a few days ago and we had seats in B-Lower, right in front of the cheerleaders. They were quite bad, I think one was a replacement and just learning the moves. What was awesome, however, was the young men in the front row dancing along with them, with much more gusto and skill. You can see them in the video above. That was the most entertaining thing, really. They weren’t being letchy or anything, they were just dancing like mad people. Better cheerleaders than the paid ones.

I’m happy to be featured in Echelon magazine’s 40 Under 40 feature, profiling young people who contribute to the economy in some way, mainly in business but also in terms of innovation and thought leadership. It’s an interesting article not just in that I’m in it (mainly for work on indi.ca and

In 2009 this strange character appeared on the Sri Lankan Internet scene, getting angry, flaming, trolling whatever. Then he started naming anonymous bloggers, posting comments as people’s kids, nasty stuff, for which I removed him from 
LOL those fans are fun
Thanks for posting that, Indi! Those fans are what makes cricket matches here so much fun!
I really don’t know what the fuck is wrong with our part of the world. They blame west for everything, but still want to copy every bloody thing from west. We are in this cultural limbo (or fake Victorian culture) where we want cheerleader in skimpy outfits and really can’t show any skin.
Either do it correctly using sexy cheerleader who can pump-up the crowd or let us watch the match in peace with no cheerleaders. But stop putting on these half-ass attempt.
True. Almost everything boils down to genes. Our women don’t have the body type of cheerleaders. You get small minority of girls with good figures, but they are about 5 feet tall so have no stage presence or overall looks to be cheerleaders. It’s a waste of time. Jut look at these cheerleaders. They look like devils. It’s more like a thovile than cheer leading. Now, foreigners will think we are some African country with coal colored people.
I was at the England afghan match and some of the cheerleaders were in their low teens. They are badly dressed, not well trained and not good looking either. I wonder if someone in the organizing committee took the money and brought some ladies from some village. :)
I don’t understand why cricket over here needs cheerleaders. Firstly, i don’t see point in mixing softcore porn & cricket. Secondly, cheerleaders anywhere outside of america is fairly artificial especially more so here because we already have an awesome spectator/cheering culture. It’s fine for India, where people are made to enjoy cricket as a packaged good along with the cheap mascara. but cricket matches have always been festive here, and spontaneously so, we don’t need a bunch of choreographer strippers jumping around to tell us how to party. I mean yesterday there we some random people at the ground forming a human pyramid.
Hell yeah dude….
When we went to big matches watching the match was the only thing we didn’t do. It was more about cheering and enjoying ourselves. We didn’t need some cheerleaders to cheer us up.
Must be all drawn from Hambantota, no?
How funny is this?

LOL!
The man in charge of the cheer queens, Sudev Abeysekarara, himself is not too happy with the show. “The dance steps being performed are fine. But the thing is that in an event like this you need good looking girls, and to get the beautiful girls who are professional dancers, you have to pay more. The payment is not that great,” he told HT.
