Roebuck to cover Lanka-Aussie Test series
The Daily News
Peter Roebuck, the former Somerset captain and now a widely read
cricket columnist will be in Sri Lanka to cover the Three Test
series between Australia and Sri Lanka beginning soon.
Roebuck is a keen follower and supporter of Sri Lanka cricket.
When the Sri Lankans were in Australia early this year and they
ran into the Muralitharan throwing controversy, Roebuck commented
fairly and constructively on the issue which was widely accepted
by all.
Roebuck promised to be in Sri Lanka during the Aussie tour to see
the improvements made to the game here.
The Old Wesleyites Sports Club must be complimented for agreeing
to sponsor his hosting at the club premises on September 7. The
ceremony is organised by the Sports Media Association.
Picture shows cheer leader Lionel Nawaragodagedera who was in
Australia during that tour presenting a souvenir to Peter Roebuck
at the MCG pavilion.
