Here are the 5 undeniable "truths" I learned from watching the election results:
1. Watawala tea isn’t just tea—it’s apparently the elixir of life.
2. If your stomach even thinks about hurting, just chug some Eno. Problem solved.
3. Derana is the absolute king of TV ratings, because nothing says "scientific poll" like Kantar’s stamp of approval... repeated every 5 minutes.
4. SLT Fibre isn’t just an internet provider, it’s literally keeping the country from falling apart.
5. Need to buy tires online? No problem, DSI got you covered. Because who doesn't impulse-buy tires online?

These ads didn’t just air, they embedded themselves into my brain.

Feels like this encapsulates my feelings as well. As someone who is seeing a lot of my friends leave the country, I can only now hope that Anura can walk the talk and build a country in which we can all have a reliable future.

1/ Since it's clear that Ranil Wickremesinghe will not come anywhere close to winning the election, I wanted to make sure I pin down a few things.

[Pasan Weerasinghe @pasanpw]

I voted for RW. But I’m not going to subscribe to the ‘give it a year and he’ll fail’ view with regard to an AKD presidency.

Like I’ve said before, for the foreseeable future, I’m going to live here. Failure of the candidate who I didn’t vote for might give me the satisfaction of being right, but at the cost of my own eventual detriment.

AKD is inheriting a stable economy, in comparison to where we were in 2022. I hope he wouldn’t make any rash decisions that will undo the good that was being done.

Here’s hoping AKD succeeds. If the country thrives, I thrive.

Anura was on the committee but not chairman.

@shmit_happens There's way too many reasons to list.

[Jonathan Anthony @jonathanthony16]

@anil_setty @MichaelVaughan Fresh pitches were prepared for the knockout games and it remained mostly consistent across all grounds regardless of which team is playing

Afghanistan's membership also needs to be reevaluated. They promised to develop women's cricket but then the Taliban took over.

[Kit Harris @cricketkit]

Afghan government takes over cricket, bans all women from playing, breaking ICC rules. ICC says carry on, you do you, full funding. Sri Lankan government takes over cricket, changes administrative procedures, breaking ICC rules. ICC is horrified, suspends Sri Lanka from cricket.

[Jonathan Anthony @jonathanthony16]

Been a very long time coming. Was just talking about it this morning. For people who might not know what this means, you can look up what happened to Zimbabwe Cricket in 2019

500 kinda day

[Himanshu Pareek @Sports_Himanshu]

Just came across the video of Umpire not giving wide to Virat Kohli!

It would be a clear wide on any day. Even Kohli's reaction said the same. Nothing against Virat's effort, but this is not right for an umpire to be influenced by a player's milestone.

Today, it was for a wide ball, tomorrow it could be for a wicket?
#INDvsBAN

[Peter Della Penna @PeterDellaPenna]

If Kohli is turning down singles with 7 wickets in hand and 10 overs left purely so he can get a century, I'd bowl 5 wides down the leg side if I'm a Bangladesh bowler. No more nonsense from any cricketer big or small about "I play for the team."

[Jonathan Anthony @jonathanthony16]

@pk_rsy @PeterDellaPenna @architect_54 it's a bloody sport, there are rules that make it a game. It should not change for anybody regardless of the match situation.

[Jonathan Anthony @jonathanthony16]

Would like to see umpire Richard Kettleborough explain himself here. International cricket is feeling less like International cricket way too fast.
