Michael Roberts from the Outside without seeing Live Coverage
Studying the CricInfo ball-by-ball reportage and the eventual surveys by BBB and Rex Clementine, it seems to me that the principal reasons why Sri Lanka lost were because of (A) Suryakumar Yadav’s sagacious captaincy; (B) an Asitha Fernando bokku; (C) the search for sixers by our set batsmen when going for two or fours was a more sensible method; and (D) Charith Asalanka’s first-ball duck –the second in a row. And since I am a devoted Gallilean that last factor is esepeciially galling (pun intended).
But let the scores and two reviews by Rex Clementine and Hemant Brar respectively tell you the story …. while I also direct you to Facebook where, no doubt, Brian Thomas will be posting a caustic set of comments in his familiar style.

Having come across “a drenching cricket story” from late in the year 1958 in my CRICKETIQUE website, let me place it within THUPPAHI for reflection because the Cricketique site can be visited and read… BUT is not readily open for comments or visited much.
The LEAD PHOTO is of considerable significance because of the ethnic mix in Sri Lankan team — inclusive of a Malay man and another with Colombo Chetty lineage roots.

If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
