What goes around comes around ! I remember praying on the day before a game against Clive Lloyd's windies...for rain, because one of my dear friend's was batting at no3 for Sri Lanka and I didn't want him to DIE ! All to no avail however and we got thrashed but in a civilised and controlled manner. There was no posturing and the type of on field antic you see now and I swear Marshall and Holding eased up on the pace after they took the first 4 wickets.
I was delighted to see our guys doing so well in Mumbai and also delighted to note that we didn't dance around and behave like imbeciles ! After all it was a great occasion far greater than the statistical victory was the satisfaction it brought to the minds of those who have watched Sri Lankas baby steps in the international arena.
Well done chaps and keep going but never forget the spirit, of this game of gentlemen. |
