“TWO TICKETS FOR CRICKET” – By Des Kelly

          “It matters not, if you win or lose,

it’s how you play the game”, another grand phrase that must never be forgotten. Unfortunately, this is NOT the state of affairs, at the moment.

Now, it seems to be “It matters not, what game you play, it’s WIN, at any cost”. This fascinating Cricket Story comes to e’Lanka via two Gentlemen that I must now thank, B.Wouters ( I think the “B” stands for Brian), and an old friend of ours, namely Keith Bennett. Thanks again, guys. Do keep sending us these stories of interest in to e’Lanka and we will do the rest.

Please enjoy the story, everybody.
