Sports Minister seeks sweeping changes in cricket structure

The person who was seated in front of me did give away his inner emotions. He looked a man who was losing his patience on a subject that has been the talking point in cricketing circles for some time. Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage did not like what was going on across the road from his office at Independence Square.

Dilshan and Thisara peck Pak pride

Two outstanding efforts firstly by Tillekeratne Dilshan (119 not out off 139 balls) and Thisara Perera (24 not out and 6 for 44) made sure that Sri Lanka scored a 76 runs win over Pakistan in the Second ODI at Pallekele last night. In doing so, they leveled the series and brought it alive.
