Not much tamils from lanka likes cricket or support sl in cricket. Even though Murali was Tamil.

Not only Murali. Matthews is half Tamil. When it comes to sports nobody cares about your race or religion in SL. If you don't perform, you get **** on. Race or religion doesn't come in to play.
And I live in an area where the majority is tamil in SL. Of course they suport SL & are fans of cricket like the Sinhalese & Muslims.
But I agree that we are not hardcore fans. Even when we were loosing to freaking Zim, people just grumbled but shrugged their shoulders & lost interest in cricket for a bit
