Duh!

First, South Africa pulled out of the triangular cricket series in Srilanka and the series was reduced to 3 matches between India and Srilanka. Next, the rain gods decided to pour cold water on the excitement and the series got washed out. This is probably one of the most disappointing cricket series for cricket lovers. But was this the right time to hold a cricket series in the island nation? I don't know, but it looks like they decided to hold it bang in the middle of their rainy season. Wasn't it like holding a world ski competition in Chennai in the month of April or a golf tournament in, say, northern Canada in January? I guess we need to tell the Srilanka cricket authorities: "See guys, if this is your rainy season, it probably _will_ rain (surprise!) and it probably _will_ affect cricket matches adversely. What you need to plan is a swimming competition in your Colombo cricket stadium during this time of the year" How can we pay back the Lankans when they tour India next time? Plan some matches in Chirapunji? Or probably Jayanagar Swimming club? ;-)
