The Proteas had a rare, media-free day which was just as well for me because I had my first experience of a ‘bubble-transfer’. You will have read enough about cricketers making ‘bubble-to-bubble’ transfers across continents from one tournament to another – this was the baby version involving a television production team of around 30 people moving 40 kilometres to the centre of Colombo.
Thank you for this enjoyable insight into the life of a commentator in Covid times. Makes for interesting reading. The Sri Lankan people if have had the pleasure of meeting, are so courteous and bend over backwards to make your stay the best it can be. Looking forward to the start of the games on Thursday morning.
Daniel, your impression of Sri Lankan people is, in my experience of 14 tours since '93, entirely accurate! Incredibly warm and hospitable, as is the local food, generally. Honestly, if I had to choose just one destination to tour for the rest of my life, it would be here...
