The Sri Lankan Lions beat the Englishmen today at the Galle International Cricket Stadium by 75 runs after a superlative all round performance.

It took me a while to accept this but now, I totally believe it. Mahela Jayawardene is the best ever test batsman Sri Lanka has produced to date. That fact was confirmed today by Mahela himself with his epic innings against the Englishmen at Galle. An innings played when the chips were down and Sri Lanka perilously close to getting humiliated at their own den. In the end his solo effort took Sri Lanka 's score to respectability and can now eye a score of 300 for the first innings when at one time , even 250 was looking impossible.

Time for Sri Lanka to Screw the English..

Clearly it is bad news for Angelo and Sri Lanka.

The Indians must be thinking what they are doing wrong. They always bow out a tournament after depending on Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka seems to fail them (which is a good thing). This time it happened in the Asia Cup last night  and for once most Sri Lankans are happy that we loss to Bangladesh , we might have gone down and bowed out of the tournament without a single win; yet, we took down India with us.
