Our boys have landed with a bang in Kiwi-land. Though bad weather forced a draw in the 3 day game against Otago, Sri Lanka should be pleased that every batsmen in the team got some serious time out in the middle. This was especially good newes for our vulnerable middle order with the new guns firing on all cylinders. The Srinath-decapitated Lanka Silva is finally back with his mix of flamboyant batting and verbal cacaphony.
I think we might have a good chance of being the second South Asian team to have a good showing overseas. The series nicely coincides with my India trip, so humiliating the Indians (further) will be very convinient. The NZ pitches may be green and mean, but with our batting line up looking good, one wonders if Bond and friends will be able to find their stride. They just might have to resort to search for lost balls amongst the sheep droppings as Jaya, Sanga and company come into form.
All my Lankan readers would do well to emulate me: go out and get an SL cricket jersey and scream, clap and cheer as we use the Kiwi to polish our shoes. The SL cricket team is the one national insitution we can all be proud of and is worthy of our support.
