Tough times ahead, but we are confident - Exclusive  
Even if Sri Lanka’s opening game in the World Cup against Bermuda was not billed by the media as the hottest of contests we in the Sri Lankan team viewed the match as a very important encounter. This was the game that would set the pace for the tournament proper and it was also the last game before the tougher opponents came along.
 
The Kiribath POWER
Every incident that takes place on earth has its own side stories. It is because different people describe the same incident in several different ways and when it comes to behind the curtains stories the whole episode becomes that much more ‘juicy’.
 
The games begin
After three days of cricket at the World Cup there are early indications of the strengths and from of the teams that have got into the action. A constant question before the tournament started still is how will the pitches play? Early indications are that there is pace and bounce and even opportunity to build big scores.
 
Ananda has the edge
Two leading Buddhist institutions in Sri Lanka, Ananda and Nalanda have produced high calibre professionals who have served the country in many spheres of life. Ananda this year is being led by Malith Gunatilleke. A wily left-arm spinner with a rich harvest of 91 wickets with a best of 7 for 9 at Malith is well backed by batting allrounder Udara Peiris (off-spin) who comes in to this big one with 58 scalps. Udara, The spin twins has been among the wickets and have been behind Ananda’s success story this season.
