If Estraya win this, that would set the border gavaskar series nicely as I fully expect them to brush aside SA and WI at home

I think the SLCB will lose quite a bit in broadcasting and sponsorship money if this tour does not go ahead. If it proceeds that money will probably go some way towards paying coaches, players, groundsmen and other individuals who make their living from cricket. Dunnow how corrupt the SLCB is, but fair to assume a certain % of that money will just line the pockets of the incompetent administrators too.

If this tour goes ahead and the situation is deemed safe enough for tourists then yea that the spending from Aussie fans should boost the local economy too.

So this bloke just got selected in Sri Lanka's T20 squad. That's probably the most astonishing bowling action I've seen on a quick.
