Colombo, Aug 19 Swapping venue, reshuffling itinerary, doing
away with the television-friendly day-night matches, mulling an ODI
played over two days, the organisers clearly have not left any
stone unturned but the jinxed Unitech Cup, now an India vs Sri Lanka
affair, simply refuses to take off for the umpteenth time in the
series.
Second ODI is slated for a 1000 hrs start tomorrow, weather
permitting, organisers said.
With an adamant rain god pulling the strains from behind the blue
firmament and heavens opening up at the most inopportune time, the
series is yet to see a full match six days since its original
starting schedule.
And the closest it came to a match was yesterday when India
scored 11 for no loss after 16 minutes of play, allowing 3.4 overs.
Rahul Dravid (9) and comeback man Sachin Tendulkar (2) were supposed
to resume the innings today at 1000 hrs but umpires Billy Bowden and
Ashoka De Silva were not convinced by the conditions and agreed on
another round of inspection at 1130 hrs.
