THE HISTORY OF TEA AND CRICKET IN SRI LANKA – BY David Colin Thome   Source: History of Ceylon Tea “You will think I write a lot about the scenery, but if you saw it you would not think I said too much” – James Taylor (Pioneering tea planter describing Ceylon in a letter to his father in Scotland in 1858) In Sri Lanka, the relevance of tea to the game of cricket extends further than that of a twenty-minute break that separates lunch and the end of a day’s play. And while tea to the Western world is but a tiny item in a crowded shopping trolley of groceries, in Sri Lanka, it is the trolley itself. For over a century, ‘Ceylon Tea’ has been the backbone of the country’s economy and to many individual Sri Lankans, its significance looms even larger. To the poorest of the poor, a ...

“CRICKET, LOVELY CRICKET” by Des Kelly We, lucky people of Australia, have such an abundance of “entertainment”to view on our television screens each and every day & night (for insomniacs), it is absolutely incredible. At the moment, I start with the “News” on Channel 2, which continues all day on Channel 24. No-one can say that they are not aware of the “current news”, unless, of course, they leave “the box” switched off all day, which I now do, myself sometimes, when I have to concentrate on “writing” for eLanka, our top website in Oz.,or writing “important e’mails to various folk, like the Premier of Victoria, for example, offering his Government another “original composition” entitled “It’s You”, a Road-Safety Song, entirely gratis, in the hope that if it is “aired” at peak-hours, especially, drivers of various vehicles (who generally have their “radios” on, as they drive, hear my lyrics and, ...
