creeping Cobras cause pandemonium in bus



There was pandemonium in a Colombo bound bus from Kalawellawa, in Matugama in the early hours of yesterday, due to two unexpected commuters who had joined the journey.
The unwelcome commuters were two huge cobras that crept out from under a seat frightening the passengers.

Seeing the two cobras, the passengers had panicked and rushed to the exit and the entrance of the bus while some had jumped out of the windows.

After all the passengers had got out of the bus the conductor had seen a man who was apparently

drunk and fast asleep in one of the seats. When the conductor awoke him it was found that he was a snake charmer and the owner of the two cobras.

On learning what had happened the angry passengers had handed over the snake charmer to the nearby police check point. Thereafter the bus had proceeded to the Kalawellawa hospital to obtain treatment to the passengers who received minor injuries in the rush to get out of the bus.

The snake charmer was taken into police custody.

Mendis in line for top ICC award



Sri Lanka s discovery of the decade Ajantha Mendis has been nominated as the Emerging Player of the Year for the International Cricket Council s annual awards for the year 2008.
Mendis has been nominated alongside India s paceman Ishant Sharma, England s fast bowler Steuart Broad and South African allrounder Albie Morkel for the September 10th awards presentation in Dubai.

Mendis created a sensation in international cricket when he took 26 wickets in his debut Test series against India last month which erased a previous debut best of 24 wickets by England s Sir Alec Bedser in 1954.

Of all the emerging players nominated Mendis made the most significant impact by also taking six wickets for just 13 runs in the Asia Cup final against India in Karachi in July this year.
