Trevor Chesterfield reports from Premadasa Stadium, Colombo: Sri Lanka is a nation of contradictions: one half believes the selectors should be drawn and quartered the other half firmly that a local version of the Tooth Fairy exists and Romesh Kaluwitharana deserves to have a medal struck in his honour. And while you are about it give Sidath Wettimuny, the chairman, and the other selectors a hamper of liquid refreshments as well. They deserve it after the thirsty work of putting together a youthful squad and then being pilloried for their belief in a policy which saw Sri Lanka upset World Cup winner's Australia at the Premadasa Stadium last night in a comprehensive eight wicket victory to take the Aiwa Cup.
