That was something. Chaos often reigned, characters thankfully shone, and underdogs did things that only a short time previously would have seemed impossible, even to them. Across five memorable weeks, the bewildering and the beguiling; the controversial and the constructive; the surprising and the satisfying chased us around three countries – India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – whose honour it was to host the tournament and whose operational skills were tested to the limit by events and circumstance that frequently beggared belief. There were planes, trains, automobiles and elephants; red forts, pink cities and marble palaces; tuk-tuks, rickshaws ...

Shane Warne – A cricketing genius – by Sanjeewa Jayaweera Source:island.lk There are great cricketers for whom cricket lovers worldwide have a feeling of deep affection and respect. This feeling of affection is unique in that it is while they are still playing international cricket, scoring runs and taking wickets even against the team you support and not when retired from the game. There is not even a whiff of controversy surrounding such cricketers either in terms of how they conduct themselves on the cricket field or outside. They are often cited as great ambassadors of the game and their country and looked upon as budding cricketers’ role models. The criteria being they were exceptional players with unblemished reputations. In the last half a century, cricketers like David Gower, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and our own Mahela Jayawardena and Kumar Sangakkara would be included in the list. We also ...

“THE GENTLEMAN’S GAME” -BY Des Kelly As I have always said, and many have agreed with me, cricket is a gentleman’s game. As with any other game, there is always a winner and a loser. Rarely, there is a “draw”. This particular story however, details results of cricketing fantasy involving a team from India, flattened for one of the lowest scores ever, by Australia, coming back to actually beat one of the top cricket teams in the World. The “come-back” or turn-around of India is what this most interesting story is about. Please read and enjoy the story, not forgetting that, without a doubt, Australia will return, confident about further good “wins”, wherever they might play, and, so will India, especially after their recent successful tour of the great brown land where kangaroos roam.
