Nowhere else in the world would there have been a game of cricket after so much rain, but Colombo venues know what to expect at the start of Monsoon Season and they have been perfecting the art of squeezing games of cricket in to the rain breaks for many decades.
Thank you for the wonderful behind the scenes information and insights. Who drops out when de Kock and Miller return? We are blessed with some wonderful batsmen. It is going to be a juggling act to fit them all in. I hope the man in the canoe made it to market and was well rewarded for his efforts. Sri Lanka sounds like a country to add to the bucket list of countries to watch cricket in. Once again thank you for the lovely reports - short and informative.
Sri Lanka is the only cricket nation where I can sit with faith, knowing that the groundmen won't let rain have an effect. Sadly, it comes with daily wage living for them.
Hi Neil..only too right, decades ago I worked covering soccer, it had rained for 3 or 4 days leading up to the Friday night Chatsworth Manning Rangers home game, arrived at the pool, sorry ground, deep underwater, it stopped raining around 6pm... We kicked off at 8:30... What pool? Nothing...
Sri Lanka is legend in the rain game, a pity cricket was not invented here, they would have solved the rain rules decades ago... So glad to hear you on DSTV 212. Looks like a lot of fun is being had by all...
Snort 20 yr olds.. hahahaha..Love it... never a day from birth without a mobile phone and a twitter account... I can barely get my smart phone working... Confuses me...
