U.S. forces have used unmanned surface vessels (sea drones) in combat for the first time.

According to CENTCOM, three Corsair unmanned surface vessels struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility at Iran's Bandar Abbas Naval Base.

Every ODI WC will have a big match player turning up at the most crucial time for his team.

2019: Stokes
2015 SF: Smith
2011: Gambhir & Thala in the Final + Yuvi throughout
1999: Warne
2003 & 2007: Aus team eh oru beast. Punter & Gilly stepped up in finals.
1992: Akram changed the game in 2 balls.

When it came to 1996, SL found a champion who said 'I'll not only win you the semis but also the final' like Warney in 1999.

India vs SL SF in Kolkata had massive hype. India were high on confidence with their QF win over Pak. SL were on a roll too. The Jaya-Kalu pair shocked opponents with their counterattack. Earlier, when India scored 271 in Delhi, Sanath's blinder 79(76) made it easy for Arjuna & Hashan to bat at 70s SR to finish the chase.

So India oda focus was: How to stop the Sanath. Ind won the toss & fielded to counter the Jaya threat. Things went according to plan, Srinath got Jaya & SL were reeling at 1/2. Appo dhaan vandhaaru Vinayak Mahadev.

Aravinda was a prodigy, having made his debut for SL in 1984 at 19. Not many know he was SL's captain in 1992 WC. Even before the semis, he had scored 275 runs in 4 bats inc. a 145 vs Kenya. But his SF knock has got to be one of the best counterattacks you'll ever see. A dismissive 47-ball-66 with 14 4s (66 la 56 runs in 4s) at a SR of 141. It was all ADS' class. Aananapatta Paaji ye 73 SR la dhaan aadinaapdi.

Knocking India out eh was huge for SL. But they were not done yet. Final la Aus ah adicha dhaan their rise in cricket ku full completion.

SL won the toss & fielded. No team had ever won a WC final chasing yet. Opening la Arjuna made a statement: History ah maatha vandhrukom.

De Silva first changed the state of the game with the ball dismissing both well-set batters when Aus were 137-1. The advantage of thaat SL team in 1996 was they had 4 spinners who could bowl 10 overs. Murali, Dharmasena poga two genuine ARs in Jaya & de Silva. SL applied chokehold & restricted Aus to 241/7.

But just like in the SF, the openers failed once again. In came Aravinda. Warne bowling panna varradhuku munnadi ye SL were tottering at 23/2. RR was within reach naala he steadied the ship with an elegant knock, negotiating the Warne threat (10-0-58-0) & took them home. 107* with the bat in a chase, 3-42 with the ball - perhaps the greatest ODI performance ever given it came in a WC Final?

What Aravinda did in 1996 is the stuff of legend. He walked into bat like a man possessed. His entrance had "Neenga laam vera vela paathukonga pa!" written all over.

Happy birthday to one of the greatest match-winners of all time, Mad Max.

Thrilled but surprised to see this. Not what I expected after lifting curfew. The massive information campaign about #COVIDー19 during the past few days from all sectors (gov, corporate, media, non-profit, celebrities) seems to have gotten the message out.#TogetherWeCan #SriLanka

In 2006 my dream came true and I beam with pride at what I've achieved over the years, alongside the best players and people. It is the right time for me and my health to retire, but I have loved every minute in an England shirt. Thank you to everyone for supporting me ❤️
