Red Bull is sponsoring campus cricket tournaments across the subcontinent, including Sri Lanka. This is interesting for bloggers because anyone who can blog coherently about the upcoming games can win a trip to Bangalore to cover the finals. Not a bad shot. If I could write about sports at all I’d go for it, but, excluding grand emotional events like World Cups, I can’t. In SL, the semifinals are coming up on the 19th. If you’re a sports blogger you might as well give it a shot.
You can sign up here. Campus (as in University) cricket is less popular in Sri Lanka than, say, India, where universities feed into the national team. Here it’s all about school cricket, however, some of our campus teams could compete with some practice.
Our sports bloggers, also, could compete, methinks. For a start check out Ball Handling 101 and Island Cricket. Hopefully there’s more budding sports writers out there.
