The Doosra - Frank leads Lankans to history thanks to Perera, the story behind his cockney name and the Countdown to the World Cup is on….
With Aatif gallivanting in Istanbul….Isa and Ankur return with guest and Sri Lankan Cricket nut, Mark Machado, to discuss the historic win led by Frank Karunaratne against South Africa thanks to a superb knock from Kusal Perera. Mark fills us in on why Lankan players have such cockney-sounding first names and how the unlikely win could be the catalyst the Island needs to return to winning ways. It’s also less than 100 days to go to the World Cup – Ankur headed down to his old high school where the World Cup trophy and former England pace ace Devon Malcolm engaged with young South Asian kids who will get the chance to be involved in the showpiece event this summer.
