IT'S NOT CRICKET, STUPID, IT'S COMPUTERS, LOVELY COMPUTERS
Fulbright Scholar Brings Computers to Urban Disadvantaged Children in
Colombo, Sri Lanka.
You would think on a warm Saturday morning, children in Sri Lanka
would be watching a cricket match and cheering on their heroes. No,
not in Kew Road, Slave Island, a multi-ethnic enclave just five
minutes away from the exclusive Trans Asia Hotel in Colombo's central
down town area. The cricket match played on at the Malay Cricket Club,
on Saturday 25, January but thirty children were flocked round five
computers in a little rectangular room of the Vocational Training
Center (VTC) run by the Sri Lanka Malay Association's (SLMA) Rupee
Fund. [More...]

ICC Appeals Commissioner rules against BCCSL
CricInfo,
2 March 2003.
The summary of Justice Ebrahim's decision follows below:
" Clause 21.9.1 outlines in the clearest of terms the criteria for qualification for the Super Six stage in the event of more than two teams finishing the Group Stage on equal points. Various stages have been laid down on how a determination is to be made. The words are clear and unambiguous. Nowhere does the approach suggested by the Sri Lankans appear in that Clause. I have no difficulty in interpreting what appears to me to be the clear and unequivocal meaning of the wording of the clause, which in my view accords with the interpretation of the ETC. The point was also made by Sri Lanka that New Zealand should have been penalised as far as their net run rate is concerned for forfeiting the match against Kenya. There is no provision within the regulations to penalise a team which has forfeited a match in the way that New Zealand did. Therefore the ETC had no right to do anything more than recognising that the match be awarded to Kenya.
In the result the appeal must fail."

Sri Lanka hit for Super Six by ICC
Cricinfo,
March 2.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) bowled a bouncer at Sri Lanka which might cost them a place in the 2003 World Cup Super Sixes if they lose their final Pool 'B' match to South Africa at Kingsmead here tomorrow. What the rules of the competition stated at the start was, in the event of there being more than two teams having equal points and equal wins, the team which was the winner of most number of matches played between those teams will be placed in the higher position. On that basis, Sri Lanka even if they lose to South Africa will qualify because the third place will have to be decided between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Sri Lanka having beaten the latter in the Pool game will go through.
