| A truly unforgettable experience |
|
| Eight weeks of ecstasy and one day of agony. That was our fate at the 2007 World Cup and looking back on that soggy Saturday it does appear that the Weather Gods and Dame Fortune secretly conspired to ensure that Sri Lanka’s chances of emerging world champions were kept to a bare minimum. |

| Hook or by crook! |
| The game of cricket is full of purists like land mines buried on the peripheries of a war zone. Inevitably they blow up at the wrong moment and maim the wrong people. |

| Praise them for the effort |
| Mahela Jayawardena’s Sri Lankans played very good cricket throughout their World Cup campaign, but that was not good enough to damage the huge Australian brick wall. Most teams could only scratch on the surface. The Sri Lankans threatened for about eight overs, then fell by the wayside. |

| Goldilocks is the sexiest man |
| “Our Beloved Boys” returned home this week (Thursday) to an overwhelming welcome by students and cricket fans of all ages lining the streets from the airport all way down to Colombo, despite the torrential rain! Many have been our team members bearing popular titles and nicknames such as “The Master Blaster” and “The Spin Wizard”, etc., True to form, yet another one of our cricketers have earned himself a title; this time a rather unusual one for the Sri Lankans! But, then again he is an “unusual bowler”… Without further ado let us introduce our very own Lasith Malinga who has been voted the ‘Sexist Man in Cricket’ for the 2007! |
