Butler and partners  were stealing runs.

Law should adjust to make such a run no run.

Mahela in the post match interview had said that the duo of Butler and Bopara had taken 22 twos - obviously some assisted by early take off.

At the 4^th ODI vs England, Senanayake bowling warned Buttler not to leave the crease till the ball was bowled. Buttler didn’t care, and soon enough according to rules, Senanayake ran him out. That is that.

Seems Senanayake is being queried about his bowling action too as happened to Murali.

To me, most of the fast bowlers around, if not all seem to be throwing with gay abandon-  as seen on TV. Fasties are the ones to  watch.

Anyhow Sri Lanka won convincingly.

Sri Lanka winning a match or a series is no longer a 7 day wonder.

Jayawewa!

So, the England players and supporters, led by their captain, Alastair Cook, are bellyaching and whingeing about Senanayake running out Buttler at the non-striker’s end. Naturally, the crowd too joined in, and at the end of the game Cook appeared to say some nasty things to Matthews.
The bottom line is, who began this illegitimate incident that forced Senanayake’s hand? In other words, if Buttler did not provoke Senanayake by attempting to take a foul start there would not have been any incident. ICC playing regulation, amended in 2011, and applicable to this series states: “the bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to attempt to run out the non-striker.” 
As teen-aged cricketers at school our (unpaid) coaches used to clearly advise us, that while being at the non-striker’s end, to watch the bowler’s arm and move only after the bowler has released the ball. Seems Cook and Buttler have not been advised on this matter despite reaching international levels. A very sad state of affairs when one considers the captain of the country that gave this game to the world is in the dark. Read the rest of this entry »

Sri Lankan cricketers and SLC stand firm and remain focused

June 4, 2014

Andrew Fernando in ESPNcricinfo where the title reads “Emboldened Sri Lanka keep their cool”
As the Edgbaston crowd’s displeasure eddied around the ground late in England’s innings, Sri Lanka were still, at the centre of the whirlpool. Spectators had been incensed by Sachithra Senanayake‘s run out of Jos Buttler – a Mankad which, upon the umpire’s inquiry, Angelo Mathews did not hesitate to uphold. The England innings was already creaking at 199 for 7, but as the boos rang around the ground, Sri Lanka did not delay delivering the final blows. With 220 to chase, this would be their game to lose.

It was a brief passage of play, but one which illustrated an unwavering focus that has become a theme of this Sri Lanka team’s cricket, particularly in 2014. They had had one horror day at Sharjah in January, but quickly shed the trauma of that defeat to trounce Bangladesh across all formats. An unbeaten Asia Cup campaign came as the annual contracts tussle with the board began to bubble up. That saga erupted before the World T20, which was won with contracts unsigned, and administrators engaged in disputes with senior players. Mahela Jayawardene, the man who was most visibly shaken by the heated exchanges with SLC, was the team’s lead scorer in that campaign.

Senanayake’s mankading of Buttler clarified and defended by British reporters

June 4, 2014

George Dobell: “Senanayake catches Buttler dozing” ….  http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2014/content/story/750041.html[/

 Umpire Gough gives Buttler out

There was little doubt what the Birmingham crowd thought to the run-out of Jos Buttler. Boos rang out around Edgbaston every time Sachithra Senanayake touched the ball following his decision to end Buttler’s innings. Already utilising an action that some in England – a conservative country in cricketing terms – believe to be dubious, Senanayake will now forever be cast in the role of villain after running out the home side’s golden boy in a rare instance of ‘Mankading’ in the international game.

Buttler, the non-striking batsman, had backed up too far. He was out of his crease. Senanayake, the bowler, had warned him in the previous over. He warned him, clearly and in sight of the umpires, that if Buttler continued to back up out of his crease, he would remove the bails and complete the run out. Read the rest of this entry »

Dentist and the Girl.

A guy and a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place. A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands. He then takes off his trousers and again washes his hands. The girl has been watching him and says: "You must be a dentist." The guy, surprised, says: "Yes .... How did you figure that out?" "Easy.." she replies, "you keep washing your hands." One thing leads to another and they make love. After it's over the girl says: "You must be a good dentist." The guy, now with an inflated ego, says: "Sure - I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?" The girl replies:....    "I Didn't feel a thing."

Census shows Hitler’s brother, married to an Irishwoman, lived in Liverpool.

Bridget Dowling, the Irishwoman who married Alois Hitler, Adolf Hitler's half-brother.

A 1911 British Census document unearthed by genealogy website findmypast has shed further light on the lives of Irishwoman Bridget Dowling and her husband, Alois Hitler, Jr., the older half-brother of Adolf Hitler.
The Irish link to the Hitler family is one of the more surprising facts from 20th-century Irish history.
Bridget Dowling, a Dublin native, was still in her teens when she met Alois Hitler, Jr. at the Dublin Horse Show in 1909. The story goes that he told Bridget and her father that he was a wealthy hotelier traveling in Ireland, when in fact he was a waiter at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel who had arrived in Ireland some time earlier after running away from his abusive father.
The two eloped to London the following year, where they married and had a son, Patrick William Hitler, born in 1911.
The Census of England and Wales from that year shows all three residing in Liverpool at 102 Upper Stanhope Street. Alois is listed as “Anton,” and wrote down the German word “sohn” (son) in reference to Patrick William.

The 1911 Census of England and Wales showing the entry for the Hitler-Dowling family.

In a memoir later penned by Bridget, she claimed that Adolf Hitler visited them in England to avoid conscription into the Austrian army, but this is widely disputed by historians who cite proof that he was in Germany at the time.
Ironically, the house on Upper Stanhope Street was completely destroyed in a German air raid during WWII.
The Hitlers were long gone by then, however. Alois returned to Germany in 1914, without Bridget. Their relationship had soured, with some accounts saying he abandoned his wife and son, while others maintain that Bridget refused to go with him because he had become abusive.
After the war was over, Alois had word of his death sent to Bridget and then remarried, though she soon learned the truth when he was charged with bigamy.
Patrick Hitler visited his father in Germany when he was 18 and was introduced to his ‘Uncle Adolf,’ who was by that point on his rise to power. Patrick returned to England, and in 1939 he and Bridget, fearful over their connection, emigrated to the U.S. where they settled on Long Island and changed their last name to Stuart-Huston.
In spite of this, Patrick did tour the U.S. giving lectures on his “madman uncle,” and Bridget wrote a manuscript titled “My Brother-in-Law Adolf.”
In 1941, when America joined the war effort Patrick enlisted to fight against his uncle and served in the Medical Corps where he saw action and received an honorable discharge.
After the war he set up in business as a laboratory technician in Patchogue, NY. He and wife, Phyllis, shared a big house on the property, while Bridget had a small cottage on the grounds.
Patrick and Phyllis had four sons, one who died soon after birth. Neighbors say the family kept to themselves and did not welcome visitors.
Bridget Dowling Hitler died in 1969 at the age of 78 and is buried in a small Catholic graveyard in Coram, NY. Patrick William was buried beside her after dying suddenly in 1987.

My travel Plans for 2014.

Email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai

 I have been IN many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.

Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.

I have made several trips there, thanks to my children, friends, family and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but apparently you have to jump there and

I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, I try not to visit there too often.

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I'm in Capable and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense!

It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!

At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

I may have been in Continent, I don't remember what country I was in.

It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.

 

You can do your bit by remembering to send this e-mail to at least one unstable person.

My job here is done!

From one unstable person to another...

I hope everyone is happy in your head - we're all doing pretty well here in mine!

It was sent by a medical doctor -  Make sure to read what is in the closing statement  AFTER THE POEM. SLOW DANCE Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rainslapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask, “How are you?” Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed, with the next hundred chores running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short The music won't last. Ever told your child,  We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die  Cause you never had time  To call and say,'Hi' You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.. When you run so fast to get somewhere, You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over. ------------  --------  FORWARDED  E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

Old age.

email sent by JKS Weerasekera 

Old age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing

the one that will get you home earlier.

A man has reached old age when he is cautioned

to slow down by his Doctor instead of by the police.

You're getting old when "getting lucky" means you find

your car in the parking lot.

You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes,

just as long as you don't have to go along.
