Sri Lanka eclipsed in pulsating thriller. New Zealand complete clean sweep – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (eLanka Sports editor) Beaten but unbowed, Sri Lanka engaged New Zealand in an epic decider which ended in a heart stopping Kiwi win with a ball to spare. The Islanders left New Zealand shores with a semblance of their reputation restored. After a torrid tour in the Tests and one-dayers, the Lankans redeemed some pride going down 2-1 but after a much better effort where the home team had to work hard for their success. New Zealand had a clean sweep in all formats indicating their steady rise in the world rankings and the revelation there is no lack of talent in both batting and bowling as some regulars were missing making big money in the IPL. A final analysis will suggest the Lankans were comprehensively outclassed by a stronger opponent. The Queenstown ...

Another Kelly-Klassic – Listening To The Wind ( Merle Haggard ) – by Des Kelly Not too many people did know that Merle Haggard, the ‘Late Master’ of Country Music, had an older brother named Fran and the two siblings had ‘fallen-out’ for reasons unknown, but Fran had passed-on, and around a year later Merle decided to write and dedicate this song to his older brother and “Listening to the wind” was then privately recorded and, being a M.H.song, sung with so much feeling, it makes one wonder why siblings fall out at all.

eLanka’s new logo in the recent newsletter – By Joe Paiva Dear Readers of Elanka, Australia & all over the world. I wonder if you noted eLanka’s new logo in the recent newsletter. Excellent design. I applaud eLanka’s project team for creating the poignant image. Oil Lamp in the Centre flanked by the two respective national flags. Symbolic of a Bridge, assimilation, fellowship, two cultures , one a rich very ancient traditional South Asian culture and the other relatively new. Lighting the the World, a gentle caring touch of the minds  and hearts of all Sri Lankans & Australians. One of serving humanity without  premeditated expectations. Instantly  Capt Elmo ( Blue Skies) Jayewardene,’s  ethos came to mind. Quote ” Far better to light a candle, rather than curse the darkness” Elmo’s Candle is somewhat similar to eLanka’s Oil Lamp, except the word ‘Poor’. PS CandleAid: A shining light for those ...
