This is counterattack at its very best in the face of adversities. An all-timer and easily one of the greatest knocks in the history of 50 over CWCs.

#OnThisDay in 1985, Sri Lanka registered their first-ever ODI win on Australian soil at the MCG.
A 19-year-old Aravinda de Silva played a brilliant cameo, guiding his team to victory.
That knock may have foreshadowed the brilliance he would showcase on the world stage 11 years later.
A powerful visual to create awareness. A much needed one for the society and a great commitment from JXG , hats off to everyone involved in this. Keep talking about it.
A campaign by some lovely souls from Magic Mango for JXG.

There is such a lot of racism packed into this tweet.
It states implicitly that the Tamils in the North are inherently dangerous and that Army camps are needed to keep them in check.
The Tamil separatist struggle has a history, a cause and a reason. Understand that.
