Losing

The Cricket World Cup is over, and Sri Lanka got beat by a very good Indian team. It would have a been a great win, but even in losing, it was a great ride. The people are very proud of their team. During the game, there were white sheets hung between trees, and a makeshift projector and a loudspeaker system was set up so people could see the match. There were soldiers watching, mixed in and among the local Tamil people. Maybe the national pride felt by a broken nation will be part of the first steps at recovery.
