UPALI DHARMADASA HOLDS THE KEY TO SRI LANKA’S CLAIM FOR UDRS AUTHORSHIP- by Shenali D Waduge Source:Onlanka In life just as there are challenges there are opportunities to undo injustices so that truth wins the day. The present situation revolves around a song, the singer, and the composer. The song is the player referral rule we know as the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS), the singer is the International Cricket Council (ICC), the international governing body for cricket and the identity of the composer is the contentious issue at hand. There is one man who holds the key to another Sri Lankan staking the claim to the authorship of the UDRS and he is Mr. Upali Dharmadasa, the former President of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board. It was during his Presidency of the Board of Control for Cricket in 1997 that the initial player referral proposal (the lynchpin of the UDRS) ...

Diuretics: The Benefits and Risks – By Dr harold Gunatillake Website: www.Doctorharold.com Transcript: Diuretics are medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body. They are sometimes called water pills. Most diuretics help the kidneys remove salt and water from the urine. By salt, we mean potassium and sodium. This lowers the amount of fluid flowing through the veins and arteries. As a result, blood pressure goes down, taking the burden off the heart. There are many water and salt logging diseases, and diuretics are God-sent for relieving those who suffer from water logging. Water logging is referred to as oedema. When it occurs in the legs, we call it pitting oedema; when it happens in the lungs- we call it pulmonary oedema. It can affect any part of the body. But it’s more likely to appear in the legs and feet, dependent areas. Medicines and pregnancy can cause ...

Chamari Athapaththu introduces Sri Lankan Cuisine to Sydney Thunders MELBOURNE: Weber Women’s Big Bash League is not only a platform for competitive cricket but also a stage for cultural exchange, as Sydney Thunder’s batter, Chamari Athapaththu, organized a team outing to a local Sri Lankan restaurant, offering her fellow Sydney Thunder players a mouthwatering taste of the island nation’s diverse cuisine. England’s fast bowler Lauren Bell expressed her delight at discovering the flavors of Sri Lanka, particularly favoring the Cheese Rotti, a savory flatbread stuffed with cheese, while Australian all-rounder Claire Moore developed a newfound fondness for Cuttlefish, a popular seafood dish. Australian cricketer Ebony Hoskin relished the Chicken Kottu Roti, a Sri Lankan favorite known for its unique blend of chicken, vegetables, and roti, while wicketkeeper-batter Tahila Wilson, who had never tried Sri Lankan food before, expressed her gratitude to Athapaththu for the delightful culinary adventure. Athapaththu’s initiative to ...

My thoughts on the movie 800 – By Sanjeewa Jayaweera Source : island I decided to patronize a cinema after several years to watch a movie. I am glad I did so because the film brought back happy memories of Muttiah Muralitharan, the spinning wizard and, in my opinion, the greatest cricketer Sri Lanka has produced. The movie 800 is about the life and cricketing career of Muarli. It is aptly titled 800 in recognition of the number of wickets Murali claimed in test matches during his illustrious career, which spanned from 1992 to 2010. His tally of wickets in test cricket is a world record that, in all probability, might never be surpassed, just as much as Sir Donald Bradman’s test batting average of 99.96 runs per innings. Initially, I was a bit worried about the movie’s length, which is 150 minutes, which I felt might be a bit long ...
