A fighting knock of 93 not out by middle order batsman Thilina Kandamby was in vain as Sri Lanka crashed to their second successive defeat by 15 runs at the hands of India at the Premadasa Stadium, yesterday.
The other day when the Sri Lankan cricket hierarchy called up the media people for the launching of the short Indian tour to Sri Lanka I felt the head table looked rather lopsided. As usual the Lankan cricket CEO Duleep Mendis, Captain Mahela Jayawardene and coach Trevor Bayliss were there but still I felt there was something missing or too much.
