Are you in South Africa? What format are you seeing?

Cape Town test and that's it for me. Don't really do one-dayers abroad, the exception will be a Netherlands 3 match ODI tour in July 2021.

What's the point of a 2 test series?

Wouldn't hurry back there like. Ground facilities were abysmal.

What?! It's an amazing place! Stay on the beach in Unawatuna, watch some cricket. Best place I have watched cricket abroad for me.

I did.

Thowt the ground was primitive at best. Much preferred Kandy/Pallekele tbh.

Fair enough, I just like the charm of Galle and the experience of watching cricket in an old school ground surround by the fort and the town. Went to Pallekele also last year and just found it to be a soulless modern ground. Kandy was lovely mind.

Thowt the fort was lovely but a bit sterile. Thowt the town of Galle was a dump. Unawatuna was wasted on me cos I was at the cricket all day.

I think it works well with Kandy/Pallekele. Quaint old town and decent facilities not far away. It's a shame they didn't modernise the Asgiriya in Kandy mind but I guess it not being owned by Sri Lanka Cricket made it a no-goer.

Looking forward to that
