001 14 Feb 2011 Cricket On The Western Ramparts Of Galle Fort P1010867

Early rise and it is clammy. Tennis feels like real hard work – Ged wins 6-2.

Shower and take breakfast. Again enjoy the resort; read, take a little sun, share a Sri Lankan curry to fish lunch, finish Finkler, swim and then played cricket with staff and a couple of guests.

The big left-hander top scores again for the oppo at 75 or 80 of the 109. Ged gets less wally than most, takes two wickets and a catch (Michael the English guest). Ged’s team struggled to 22 for three but then Ged and Amal (who clearly has hidden depths and strength) muster 70 odd in six overs to at least make a respectable total.

Shower and then return to photograph the sunset.

Dinner of jumbo prawns with chips and salad (eventually) interrupted by darkness as our side of Olive Ridley needs a shilling in the meter . We move to the other side, then back for banana bread and ice cream and watch a bit of Oz V Zim with “M”.
