In all probability Sri Lanka will have a new opening combination come Tuesday when they take on New Zealand in the first Test from August 18-22 at the Galle International Stadium. With injured in form batsman T.M. Dilshan who scored a belligerent 60 ball 68 against the Kiwis upon his return at the NCC grounds on Thursday as an opener, it points out that he will pair off with Tharanga Paranavithana forcing tentative Malinda Warnapura to the confines of the dressing room.

Take a walk

I can remember the feeling that I experienced while watching that award winning film “Slum dog millionaire” when one of the young lads locked his brother (who becomes the hero of the film) in the toilet when their favourite actor visited the area and how the hero jumped into the bucket full of human excreta and wriggled through the awful mess, just to have glimpse of his idol.
