Powered by a a timely knock of 98 by veteran Sanath Jayasuriya and a versatile and effective knock of 91 not out by fast improving left hander Thilina Kandamby, followed by a brilliant spell of bowling by Angelo Mathews, Sri Lanka powered their way into an imposing 139 run win in their precursor to Monday's final in their tri-nations triangular against India at the R. Premadasa Stadium yesterday.

Living among legends

Living in some one’s shadow and yet contributing tellingly to a cause is generally the silent contributors’ role in society.
Throughout history there may have been millions of such contributors, but in a cricketing sense the first one that comes to my mind is that Australian batsman Arthur Morris who even outscored the legendary Don Bradman during the 1948 season. Morris broke in to the scene in the previous season (1946-47) scoring three consecutive hundreds. But, today very few people have even heard who Arthur Morris was.
