    people might think whats the big deal? but we should keep in mind that
    A)England are arguably the Best Women's cricket team, plus the defending champions and SL had never beaten them before.
    B) Also this is the highest successful run chase in the history of women's world cup cricket.

    this is a huge milestone in the women's games in SL

    In order to ensure that politicians are invloved in everything..Dr.Mervin and Paba have been appointed as the new selectors...lol.. MP Jeevan Kumaranathunga and MP Malini Fonseka will also act as mentors to the girls
