IA-12 1-5 Okay sports fans, this from the International Herald Tribune: COLOMBO-Sri Lanka began its Cricket World Cup campaign late, but in style. The veterans Aravinda de Silva and Asanka Gurusinha cracked 15 boundaries and eight sixes between them in a 172-run wicket victory over Zimbabwe in a Group A match on Wednesday Faced with a competitive target of 229 runs for a victory, de Silva (91), the vice captain, and Gurusinha (87) made light of the losses of the opener Romesh Kaluwitharana (without scoring) in the first over and Sanath Jayasuriya (6) in the fifth over. Sri Lanka made 229 in 37 overs for the loss of four wickets. Gurusinha, the left-hander, was run out with the Sri Lankan score at 195. He hit five boundaries and six sixes in his 102-ball knock. Seemingly tired at the end, he almost ambled to the stumps after de Silva called him to be run out easily De Silva left 14 runs later, falling to Heath Streak. His 91 came off 86 balls, highlighted by two sixes and 10 boundaries. The victory was formally secured by the captain, Arjuna Ranatunga (13 not out) and Hashan 1. Who won, how was the victory secured, who was the hero, what was the 2. What kind of game gives you 86 balls and what's the big deal about hitting 3. Remembering that a cricket match might last several days, what might you 4. Remembering that your career might last several years, what might you like Tillekaratne (7 not out) under a steady drizzle. Required weather like, and how long did this thing last? boundaries? (And, what the heck are stumps?) like to know about this sport before heading to the outing? to know about business before heading into it
