  offramp: Sri Lanka are not doing very well against England at the moment; they are 141-8 in reply to England's 551-6.

The Mat 11th start to this match was not good for Muralitharan and the remaining Tests will be better for him.

Jul-16-06  samsal27: IM Lanka Ravi made his second GM norm in the recently concluded Andorra tournament. He had made his first one three years ago in India. http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/17/sto... Well done Lanka, we want to see you as a Grandmaster ASAP!!
Jul-17-06  samsal27: Clarification - Lanka Ravi did not make the GM norm. Performance rating was not maintained and hence the Hindu report is not correct. Please disregard the same.
