A Campaign Against Sledging & Intimidation on the Cricket Field-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis My upbringing was heavily impregnated with cricket and its sporting values. The practices of sledging and verbal one-upmanship in order to unsettle batsmen was simply unthinkable to those so nourished. When Sri Lanka’s team under Arjuna Ranatunga had a prolonged tour of Australia in 187, they happened to spend a lot of time in Adelaide. I was introduced to Arjuna and Ruwan Kalpage at a dinner at the house of Tilak Gunasekera (alas not more with us) and his wife Dawn (nee Buultjens). There I received first-hand tales of the degree to which Australian cricket was, so to speak, impregnated with the sledging form of one-upmanship. My distaste for this type of activity was deepened when I witnessed the pressures directed at the Sri Lankan cricket team touring Australia in 1995/96 — this time by some of the umpires ...

Why is the Purpose of Life Inadequately Explained? By N.S.Venkataraman Men and women who think they have a purpose in life generally assume that animals, birds, and other creatures have no purpose in life. Is such an idea appropriate? Source:-slguardian.org From time immemorial, humans have wondered about the purpose of human life, as men and women are born seemingly from nowhere and then pass away to nowhere. Several saints and sages all over the world over the years have attempted to find an explanation for this vexing question. However, these deep thinkers could only suggest possible purposes for life, which often appear as assumptions. So-called purposes:Men and women in the early stages of life and in middle age generally think they have a goal and purpose in life, such as gaining a high qualification, earning money, gaining power, and reputation, and so on. However, in most cases, when men and ...

New Zealand book a berth in semis with clinical dissection of clueless Sri Lanka – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (eLanka Sports editor) Sri Lanka stayed on their charted course of exiting the World Cup winless in four consecutive games as New Zealand clinically disected and rolled them by 5 wickets without too much effort in Bengaluru. The worst campaign by Sri Lanka in a World Cup since 1999, calls for a serious revamp of its coaching and administrative staff if this once proud nation is to save face and re-establish itself to the respected team it used to be. This was a team that never jelled from the outset raising serious questions about its composition. The clash of cultures in the coaching department, particularly appointing a Consultant Coach to the structure definitely derailed establishing a mutually acceptable game plan. Some will argue that making the final of the Asia ...
