thanks also for the example you set by retiring from test cricket with your powers still undiminished. an example ppl in all walks of life may do well to emulate.

well done sir!!!

france and england through, what fun !

now we need only fiji and argentina (even scotland will do though) to get through to make this a truly upsetting but highly pleasurable rugby word cup.
if anyone wants to see nz, aus, or sa, win, go watch a match any other day.

susanthika to get an olympic silver?

marion jones winner of sydney olympics 200m sprint has pleaded guilty (just a hour or two ago) to steroid use in 2000. she is likely to lose her gold medal for that event along with her other 2 gold medals and 2 bronze medals. our own susanthika jayasinghe won the bronze medal in 2000. so her medal is likely to get upgraded to silver.

good

as always past catches up with frauds and hypocrites.
