Yet again We are the Asian Champions

We (Sri Lanka) won the Cricket Asia cup 2008. Remember we were the winners last time.We beat India by 100 runs in today's match to grab the trophy . After 39 years old Sanath Jayasooriya's marvelous innings I thought it is all over when Virendra Shewag was cruising along nicely. But the new find Ajantha Medins turned it over. He bowls off breaks, leg breaks, quickers and Indians are really helpless. At the end without bowling his complete 10 overs he grabbed 6 wickets for just 13 runs. It was absolutely an exhibition of spin bowling from young Mendis. Ajantha Mendis is a cricketer from my home town Moratuwa. So it makes me more happy. So after sometime we have something to cheer about!
