Winds of change
It was always a case of when and not if Arjuna Ranatunga would head Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). His stature within Sri Lankan cricket after having taken them to the World Cup crown in 1996 meant that he'd always play an influential role in the administration if he wanted to. However, it was a surprise that he had to wait nearly eight years

Underdone and overwhelmed
Sri Lanka have claimed themselves to be better international travellers outside the subcontinent in recent times. There has been justification for this claim, too, with Test wins in both England and New Zealand during 2006. However, sadly, there remains a severe travel warning for Australian tours
Charlie Austin
Birds of a feather
Sril Lanka want someone to add structure and direction to their natural flamboyance. The team needs organisation and careful one-on-one management, not grandiose ideas and high-tech gadgetry
