Playing Pandu in the Dark

We lost to the Aussies - again. This time it was in the World Cup final and the conditions in which the match had to be played could not have been worse.

First the rain, the delayed start and the rain again....we could not have asked for anything worse.

Then at the end of the match, as the Australian cricket team celebrated victory, the umpires decided three more overs had to be bowled - that was just too much.

During the SL innings in Barbados, here in Colombo the TAF decided to take a late-night flight over the city and attack a couple of oil storages in Kolonnawa and Muthurajawela, dropping four "explosive devices" during the attack. They could not have picked a better time.
