There has been slow but steady progress in voting as the most popular contests of the 44th Observer SLT Mobitel School Cricketers contest began last week. It was only last December that Sri Lanka’s World Cup winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga graced the Observer SLT Mobitel School Cricketers contest, 42 years after he first kissed the glittering trophy. Speaking as the chief guest, Ranatunga warned the country’s school cricketers of the evils of focusing on money while drawing a contrast to his own success without a cent in his pocket.
