Sri Lankan coverage
With Pakistan’s thumping of Sri Lanka in the only 20-20, the Pakistani tour of Sri Lanka is now complete. So hopefully the Sri Lankan attentions will now turn to the New Zealanders. Check out these outlets.
There are three main English dailies in Sri Lanka. They are all wafer thin in print and pretty damn ugly online.
I seem to recall a preference for The Island myself when I was in Sri Lanka, but I don’t remember why.
The only decent cricket blog I know of out of Sri Lanka is Fly Slip, who have now noticed that New Zealand is touring and are already offering up a poll on the best excuses for NZ losing the test series.
I’ve come across a fairly weighty site about Sri Lankan cricket, Island Cricket. I don’t really know what it is; I suspect it might be one of the social networking sites, for SL cricket fans.
There are also a couple of forums for SL cricket fans, SLCricket and the Dilmah Cricket Network Forum – my own personal favourite brand for gumboot tea.

Can someone tell me WHY Dan chose to field first at Galle? Surely, with all the support staff around, someone would have cast altleast a cursory glance at rence matcheson this ground? If there is any accountability in this set-up some head(s) should roll for this gargantuan goof-up. Reminds me of the Hindi saying “Aaa Baile Mujhe maar” – translation: Come Bull, Gore Me.

Ha ha! I came across this post searching for crickets (the insects) in Sri Lanka. To be honest, the only site for Sri Lanka Cricket is Island Cricket – http://www.islandcricket.lk.
That dude at The FlySlip also started blogging on Island Cricket.
Check their user submitted photo gallery out. Last time I looked there were a couple of photos of Shane Bond in hotel in SL during that tour!
