Sri Lanka: LMD World Cup Supplement
The Daily News
LMD, Sri Lanka's business and leisure magazine will be publishing a
World Cup Supplement, to be issued free with its May issue. The
Supplement will be available at retail outlets a week before the
World Cup begins - Sri Lanka plays England in the curtain-raiser, at
Lord's, on May 14. All subscribers to LMD receive the Supplement
free.
Media Services, the publishers of LMD, say that the Supplement, a
guide to Sri Lanka's defence of the World Championship, will contain
50-plus colour pages, including contributions from Anura Tennekoon,
Sidath Wettimuny, Michael Roberts, Mahinda Wijesinghe, and Wisden.
Features in the Supplement includes a nostalgic look-back at Sri
Lanka's road to the World Championship, in 1996; statistical profiles
of the entire Sri Lankan squad; a comparison of the One-day records
of all Test-playing nations since the last World Cup; a complete
guide to the wrold Cup fixtures - including scorecards; and a trip
down the memory lane of Sri Lankan cricket, with a selection of a
Greatest-ever Sri Lankan XI. Media Services envisions this supplement
becoming a collector's item - and an essential guide for fans of the
defending Wrold Champions.
In Addition, a One-day Wrold XI has been selected by Anura Tennekoon,
Michael Tissera, Ranjan Madugalle, Sidath Wettimuny and Mahinda
Wijesinghe - and LMD is running a competition for readers to match
the experts' XI. Readers are invited to send in their nominations -
in batting order, including a captain and twelfth man - to LMD.
Prizes include return air-tickets to Bangkok, full-board weekend
vouchers to some of the country's leading resorts, and vouchers to
some of Colombo's finest restaurants.
