Batters crumble in a familiar fashion as rollercoaster Sri Lanka head for an early exit after Bangladesh loss. Bowlers excell in vain effort. BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka appears to have an early flight home planned for them after crashing to their second consecutive defeat, this time to Bangladesh thanks to another dismal batting performance in Dallas. Horses for courses appear to be at the root cause of their embarrassment as a clueless batting display again made the islanders look like amateurs, and Bangladesh, now their arch rivals, basked in the glory of contributing to their misery with a 2 -wicket win. Sri Lanka again proved that the selection of the squad was lopsided in their batting which has for time immorial in recent years been on a rollercoaster in terms of consistency. In fairness it was not an easy passage for the Bangladeshis, as ...

It belongs to the grass family Poaceae and is primarily cultivated for its juice, from which sugar is processed. The history, cultivation, production, and economic importance of sugarcane form a vast and intricate subject that impacts numerous aspects of human society and natural ecosystems. Historical Context and Global Spread Sugarcane’s journey from its origins to becoming a global agricultural commodity is a testament to its versatility and the evolving human quest for sweeteners.

SUNDAY CHOICE – Loved with Everlasting Love – By Charles Schokman The author of this hymn was George W. Robinson. He based the hymn on Colossians 3:3. (For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.) He is known in hymn history for this one hymn in particular, I Am His and He Is Mine (or Loved with Everlasting Love), published in 1876. He wrote this hymn one year before his death at the age of 39. I couldn’t find much about Mr. Robinson’s life or death, nor any particular story behind this song. I don’t know if he died suddenly in a tragic accident, or if he died after an extended battle with illness. What I do know is that his words reflect a confidence in God. I really appreciate the confidence that Mr. Robinson speaks of when he talks about whom he belonged to. His words communicate to me that he ...
