By Vanroy Burnes
Rakheem “ Jimbo” Cornwall bowling
was simply too good for the Scotia
Bank Empire team in ABCA two day
finals at the Liberta playing field over
the weekend as the crush tom an innings
and 90 runs defeat.
Batting first after asked to bat first,

SLC’s president, called the
decision “unacceptable” and
said: “It will be reported to
the ICC. The flag is a symbol.
It is a mark to say we are
not happy with the decision.
To show solidarity and fight
back.”
Sri Lanka also thought
they might have had Hales
on 45 when Shaminda Eranga
brought one back to strike
him on the top of the pad but
umpire S Ravi’s not-out decision
was upheld by virtue
of “umpire’s call” on review.
The breaks in Hales’ favour
were fast adding up.
In reaching 41 by Saturday’s
close, he might have
fallen on 19, if Karunaratne
had clung on to a low chance
to his left at second slip and
again on 39, shortly before
the close, when he glanced

Pradeep down the leg side
only for Dinesh Chandimal
to grass the chance. There
were no reports of draped
flags then.
Nevertheless, Hales had
some dominant moments,
too, none better than when
he conquered Rangana Herath’s
over-the-wicket attack
into the rough by hoisting
the left-arm spinner straight
for six, then sweeping his
next delivery for four.
England did lose the
nightwatchman Steven Finn,
lbw to Eranga, clearing the
way for Cook.
His place at No. 7 was
purely happenstance, and
not due to regulations limiting
a player’s place in the
batting order after injury,
explained by the fact that his
mishap while fielding at silly
point was regarded as an external
injury.
Cook showed no ill effects
although he, too, flirted
with the vagaries of the review
system.
On 6, Herath spun one
back to hit his thigh, playing
back, but replays showed the
ball had struck him outside
the line.
Then, in Herath’s very
next over, he was struck in
line of off stump by another
sharp spinner, but this Sri
Lanka erroneously chose not
to appeal the original not-out
decision. Hawk-Eye would
have sent the England captain
on his way for 11.
Cook’s unbeaten 49, batting
at No. 7, including a
deep midwicket six into the
Mound Stand off Eranga -
he had hit 10 previously in
Tests - and surely his first
attempted ramp shot. The
latter felt a bit like tipsy dad
on the dancefloor.
Probably judging that
was enough tomfoolery for
one day, he then declared, no
doubt returning to a dressing
room where he commands
so much respect that players
can happily giggle at his adventure.
