While The Cricket’s On, Take The Bank

The HNB cash machine. I think I got my money out in time.

The government can do whatever it wants during cricket matches and no one will notice. For example, they recently took over HNB Bank and appointed someone from the Central Bank as the director. The Central Bank regulates this bank, which it now has a financial interest in. Which is a bit off. They also had information no one else has going into the deal, which is a bit like insider trading. Oh, and they did it with pension and public funds, which is my money. But nobody noticed. Because the cricket was on.

That said, the cricket is going fucking great. I have never seen a perfect game like Dilshan and Upul Tharanga played, which is all the more interesting because I think one stole the other’s wife a while back. It was honestly sad how they were toying with the English at the end, but the team is looking really good going into the New Zealand match tomorrow.

What was I talking about?

  1. Indi, you should write a sequel to “While The Cricket’s On, Take The Bank.”
    You could call it, “While the cricket’s on, increase the price of gas, petrol and diesel not forgetting milk powder that might be increased either today or tomorrow.”

  2. Dr Ranee Jayamaha rocks and it’s great she gets to have a prestigious (albeit non exec and honorary) position like chairman of HNB. She was very good at her job and should have been the first female Governor of the Central Bank but was screwed out of it by Chandrika who made a non-economist a governor and in some ways paved the way for the disgrace that is Cabraal.
