Something about Sri Lanka, the cool breeze which tempers the sun and happy Island culture. Something about it always makes me happy thinking about it because I had such a great time visiting SL. I had run into a tuk-tuk driver the first day i was there. For the next week for the time that I was there, he became my designated driver and go to man and guide. Once he found that I was also interested in partaking some local herbs :smile: He even took me to a beach shack to some of his buddies, when I smoked some weed on a beach shack right next to Mount Lavinia hotel (where i was staying). It was some dreamy stuff. I still remember very vividly looking out of the shack and into the Indian ocean and being in the moment. SL by far is a largely uncomplicated place, a much simpler place compared to India and the rest of the subcontinent. It felt good going down memory lane.

Right then, time for a full Sri Lanka tour - 3 tests, 5 ODIs, 1 t20.

First test, is in Galle. I have seen the Galle fort and it looks very nice. 

Inspite of SL being written off, its going to be a tough series and India will have to play as well as they did last time around to win.

Its tough to be in India's shoes in tours like these. You are expected to do well but wont gain anything even if you win convincingly. People are just going to say its the expected result. Whereas Sri Lanka have everything to gain because even if they win a single game, it will be considered an upset because even Zimbabwe defeated them just recently. That's why tours of SL, WI are not fun anymore because standards of cricket have fallen quite a lot.

Yeah i totally agree with @kubrickian apart from the match practice away from home there is noting else to be gain by the Indian team from SL tour. 

Where as even if India loose a single match which i doubt will happen and which i pray not to happen also will be a huge gain for SL. 

 

As Sri Lankans we are extremely grateful for giving us Full tours by India. It is a good thing for us. 

 

But the bright side is i am waiting to see Kohili hammering SL to the pulp .... !!!!:heart::heart::heart:
