Hi I'm from Colombo.
There is no rain in Yesterday (Saturday) and today (Sunday) morning. I think today's match can play at correct time.

3rd ODI

For the second time in three days, England's chances of levelling the one-day series were dashed after the final match at the Premadasa Stadium was again washed out without a ball being bowled. Thus Sri Lanka won the series 1-0 after their convincing win at Dambulla.

glad i didn't get up early then...rangeela, do you still play cricket 2002 much, it appears everyone else has tossed it on the scrap heap...i fancy a test match, for old times sake...

 

[Rangeela]

no I dont play it anymore.. waiting for c2004 just like everyone else. currently I am hooked up to Madden NFL 2004

bollocks, i'd even give auwais a game im that desperate but his computer is too good for the game (obviously not the other way around). ah well, i'll just have to sit in the corner and cry like a baby :sulks:

 

[Auwais]

Does anyone think England would have come back to win the series 2-1 if not for the rain?

 

[sonic]

no, it would have been 3-0 to the lankans

Or, they probably were going easy on them after they thrashed England in the ODI series!

They reckon the wicket will deteriorate so batting last could prove tricky, especially against Murali.

That is a batting wicket sonic. But it also a good pitch for spinners.
