	No way ho "Jay".  Lets face it.  We were out-played that time.
	We went to Sri Lanka without any practice whatsoever.  Our team
	hadn't played cricket in many weeks.  A week before the tour
	we had no idea if the tour would still be on because of the 
	"tension" between the Sinhalese and Tamilians.  In fact, most
	of them thought it would be off for sure.  So they got there
	without warming up, and were just not mentally prepared. 
	We deserved to lose that one.
