We produced the best bowler in the world - PM by Sarath Malalasekera The world of cricket, in the so-called 'open market of international cricket, Sri Lanka sought to reach the highest standards of excellence as we believed that to be the road to our survival. 'We produced Murali, acclaimed as the best bowler ever in the world of cricket, said Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa at the inauguration of the 26th National Conference - Quest for Excellence - Leveraging Global Best Practices, held at the BMICH recently. How did the imperfect market of international cricket respond to Murali's excellence. The response of those who like to rule the market-place of international cricket is now common knowledge in our country, Had Murali "invested" less in the 'quest for excellence,' he would surely survive with greater ease and comfort in the "imperfect market" of international cricket, the Prime Minister added. Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa emphasised, excellence, therefore is important in the competitive world of production and marketing. But Excellence must be seen in perspective. It must not be seen in isolation. Its relevance should be evaluated, not within the context of imperfect economic theory, but against the environment of cartels, combines and imperfect markets which constitute the reality of the global economy. |
