World Cup 2015: When Lankan fans made beautiful music

There is never a dull moment when there are Sri Lanka fans in the stands. They were present with a band set equipped with drums, cymbals and trumpets to blare out English, Sinhalese as well as Bollywood numbers.
The party started right outside the Sydney Cricket Ground before the match. But later, things became quieter when Glenn Maxwell and Shane Watson provided the fireworks.However, to encourage the Lankan batsmen they became vocal again after the change of innings. But as the result became apparent, the music became subdued and ultimately tapered off.
Equal support
There were as many Sri Lankan flags at the SGC as there were Australian ones. The Indian fans' overwhelming presence in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth had made the support partisan. It was a welcome sight to see both the teams get almost equal support in the stands. With batmen of both sides providing the fireworks it was carnival atmosphere in the overflowing SCG.
Peek even when you pee
You could say there was simply no privacy at the SCG. At every nook and corner in the media complex there are TV sets installed so that you never miss out on the action. Be it the dining hall, corridors, even the toilets. There were TVs installed everywhere so that journalists are not deprived of any action in the middle even when you are doing your business. That's professionalism for you...
