some good articles on the sri lankan cricketers:

The secret of Lankan cricket's good health

Down-to-earth behavior makes Sri Lankan cricketers popular

it is disappointing to see the windies afflicted with the same ennui that sent india out of the tournament. was hoping for a windies-lanka final, but that looks highly improbable. even worse for the windies, because this is probably the best world cup crowd so far in terms of some atmosphere and home-side support (other than the their first round match against pakistan in jamaica).

Forget it. The Sri Lanka wicky is a demon stumper. The Windies are giving their wickets away cheaper than Woolies' Pick and Mix.

Looking forward to an Aussie Sri Lanka final now...

Whoops. Spoke too soon. Sarwan out. Stumped. Ouch. The required run rate is creeping back up to 11 an over. But Chanderpaul is still lingering with intent. And now another SIX by Chanderpaul. The third SIX of the Innings!!!

West Indies v Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka made 303, and then took 3 early Windies wickets. It looked dark down at the Providence Stadium. But now Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shiv Chanderpaul, the the local Guyana desis have come together and the chase is ON. Sixes and Fours coming in all directions.

Let's face it, the World Cup is over. The Aussies are going to win it. Again. They battered the Windies. Who is going to beat them?

My in-box has been flooded with jems like this ever since India blew it:)

I will not write jem instead of gem. I will not write jem instead of gem. I will not write jem instead of gem. I will not write jem instead of gem. I will not write jem instead of gem.

Indeed. Sri Lanka showed good spirit. They were so close.

damn! that malinga ball in his penultimate over barely missed the stump – could have been all over. south africa escapes, but lanka’s fightback was heartening. the highlight of the world cup matches so far.
