King Kohli notches his 30th century and with Jaiswal sets up Australia’s nightmare start to Summer. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor)   Australia are on the ropes as India hovers over them and readies itself to deliver the knock-out blow at a stunning boilover in Perth. Centuries from new sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal, 161 off 297 balls, and a adventurous 30th Test hundred from veteran Virat Kholi 100 off 143 balls,  delivered the killer blow to any aspirations of an Australian comeback which was further endorsed by India’s bowlers who left the home team in tatters at 3 for 12 by the close of day two. Jasprit Bumrah who has been almost unplayable followed his bag of 5 for 30 in the first innings, and two quick wickets in the second,  stands out as the player who will determine Australia’s fate and whether they have worked out ...

New Zealand succumb to Sri Lankan batting hurricane. Kusal Mendis, Avishka Fernando and Charith Asalanka crush New Zealand hopes. –  BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando delivered an avalanche of boundaries in Dambulla breaking several records in the process as Sri Lanka thrashed New Zealand in  the first one-dayer. The rollercoaster Sri Lanka batting hit top gear to scatter a hapless Kiwi attack to all parts of Dambulla to record a memorable victory in front of delirious home fans. Mendis, whose form is becoming more consistent recently, showed no mercy as he smashed his way to 143 off 128 balls with two sixers and 17 fours. Aided by a welcome return to form by Avishka Fernando who also notched his first century, 100 off 115 balls with 2 sixers and 9 fours, they romped to 324 for 5 in 49.2 overs when rain ...

Whirlwind Lewis gives West Indies the last laugh. Fantastic run chase ends Sri Lanka’s winning streak. — BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) West Indies opener Evin Lewis produced a hurricane in stormy conditions in Pallekelle smashing Sri Lanka’s tormenting bowlers to all parts as West Indies scampered to a rain restricted 8- wicket victory with six balls to spare.  The Windies opener was in devastating form scattering the field as he slammed a swashbuckling unbeaten 122 off 61 balls with 4 sixers and 9 fours leading the chase to a revised target under the Duckworth/Lewis method leaving the home team dizzy and spent. Taking centre stage in a massive run chase which required 195 off 23 overs, Lewis slammed the Sri Lanka attack into submission first adding 72 for the second wicket with Shai Hope, he then joined Sherfane Rutherford (50 off 26 with 3 sixers and ...

Winds of change indicate surge in Sri Lankan cricket.  Windies crushed in one- day rout. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka’s white ball game has finally turned the corner with a comprehensive blitz of the West Indies in Pallekelle.  Brimming with confidence after a series win in the T20 format, the cock-a-hoop Lankans rammed home their new found belief to reduce the Windies to non competitors taking a unassailable 2-0 lead in the three match series.  Two 5-wicket thrashings in as many games strongly suggests Sri Lanka has now stepped up to be noticed as a worthy competitor once more. The sudden swing in the winds of change, is a significant step in the right direction for Sri Lanka cricket, which like the country’s plight, was on a downward trend.  Things overall appears to have changed for the better as the country, and cricket have ...

High riding Sri Lankans shot down in T20 World Cup.  Disappointing campaign sends them home winless. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka’s women basked in the glory of an Asia Cup triumph, then were rudely awoken to the reality of the fluctuating fact of life,  by being dumped out of the World Cup winless.  The high riding Lankans began with a shock loss to Pakistan then were thrashed by top contenders Australia and India before their fate was sealed by New Zealand, all but Australia, who they beat on previous tours recently.  Chamari Athapaththu failed in this instance and all around her crashed in domino effect to end a campaign high on expectation and anticipated but disappointing in the end.  The brains thrust  of Sri Lanka’s campaign failed when it mattered in their ‘group of death’ where their recent success was under the microscope to ...

Storm fall at final hurdle,  falling victim to savage Penrith onslaught.  ‘Fourpeat’ makes Panthers a special in NRL history. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor). The odds were heavily stacked against Melbourne Storm even before the kick off of the NRL Grand final and things worked to plan to keep the Premier flag away from Victoria.  Rubbing out Storm enforcer Nelson Asofa Solmona in the preliminary final for an inocous high tackle that had minimal effect, then denied a debatable but certain try in the evenly balanced first half, sealed the fate of Melbourne Storm and their attempt to wrest the Premiership from three time winners Penrith at Accor Stadium in Sydney.  The anti- Melbourne sentiment could not have been more pronounced than the booing of Storm’s Jahrome Hughes during his post match interview.  There was no doubt however,  of Penrith’s clear dominance in the game, but ...
