Just a week after a gruelling tour of Australia, we are back at home and the prospect of an exciting three test series against England awaits in a week. Any tour to Australia is a learning curve and I believe we benefited immensely from the experience.

Please can someone tell me…….give me some light…….Can somebody please tell me the difference between a hired assassin and a member of the ICC elite umpiring panel. Are those mistakes that they make sheer buffoonery or well calculated murder. Funnily the law tracks down assassins and hangs them or sends them to the electric chair (but in Sri Lanka they are given a different treatment) but, members of the ICC elite panel get paid for the match and get their contracts renewed to commit murderous errors also another day.
