Asoka always keeps the game interesting though. Batsmen look towards him after flat-batting it back up the pitch, forever in fear of the dreaded finger.

After reading this news, I might go and get my umpiring certificate.

Are there any umpires on the English F/C list who couldn't do a better job than DeSilva? I think not!
