A very good day to be in the news paper as the ICC world cup cricket final is tonight. Australia against Sri Lanka. So a lot of people will read the paper I think :-) Off Course I hope SL will win, we are going to watch the match at Mambo's or at Rogers Garage in Hikkaduwa. I think SL can do with some upgoing spirit if they win. After the Tsunami and the war in the North they deserve it I think. But it is going to be a tough match cause Australia is also very good.
