Saturday December 1st 2007. World Aids Day. Rosemary and James amongst many supporters from UK. It felt a little strange at first but then we enjoyed the friendly banter. |

| The view from the stand to the Hunasgiriya mountain. Sri Lanka were all out for 188 at 4pm on the first day. We lived in hope. See December 2007 newsletter. | An attempt to offset carbon by Michael Vaughan, England's captain. Marginally less laughable than the English batting in the first innings.! |

|
| We returned after Church on Sunday December 2nd but saw only a few balls being bowled before rain stopped play. The rain comes down and the whole pitch is covered. | Monday December 3rd
2007. We retuned for a second full day at cricket. This picture was taken
just after
Muralitharan becomes the highest wicket taker in test cricket history. We
saw his 709th wicket.
