England vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test: पहले दिन और पहली पारी में श्रीलंका ने बनाए 236 रन, इंग्लैंड 214 रन से पीछे

इंग्लैंड और श्रीलंका के बीच Manchester (मैंचेस्टर) में खेले दा रहे दूसरे टेस्ट मैंच मे इंग्लैंड की हालत काफी गंभीर दिख रही है। इग्लैंड ने अपनी पहली पारी में मात्र 22 रन बना लिए हैं। श्रीलंका के 236 रन के लक्ष्य के सामने इंग्लैंड अभी भी 214 रन से पीछे चल रही है। Debutant Milan Rathnayake’s half-century helped Sri Lanka to a decent total, but England openers made a solid start before bad light…

Ok I'mma vent this out at once and will try to not utter a word about this cursed night again. India deserved this cup, they really did. Because if there's been a team who performed the best and embodied the spirit and passion of cricket it's been India. They did their best from the very first game against Australia... Jaddu's wickets (especially Smith's), the top order collapse and King and Rahul's partnership winning us the game (also Rahul's 97). Then came Afghanistan and Bangladesh - Rohit's century, Virat in delhi (vs Naveen, their hug), Hardik's injury resulting in our dear Cheeku's bowling, KL refusing runs to complete Virat's century, Ro - Vi - Rah hug 🤌and ofc umpire not giving the wide. The Pakistan rivalry came into the tournament but our streak was saved when we defeated them 8 - 0. Then came the most dreaded match against New Zealand - Vi's missed century was definitely a sore spot but the revenge was completed. Shami being shami showing why you should not bench him with his fifer and Jaddu hitting the final runs to avenge Mahi Bhai. England and Sri Lanka were no match - they were destroyed by our balling - the only good thing was Gill's knock, Shreyas' century and ofc RohiRat hugs ✨. We made a Sri Lanka out of South Africa with the King getting a century on his b'day and destroyed Netherlands but the main part was Virat and Rohit taking wickets. Then came the semis against NZ and honestly the whole desiblr was scared as fuck bcz of our history but Revenge was taken... Kohli shattering all records and hitting his 50th century making us prouder than ever (anushka's kisses and bowing to the God Sachin will forever be remembered) and Shami's 7 wickets, like is there a way to stop Lalaji bcz I can't think of one (amd what's this 7 factor? 397 runs, all out at 327, won by 70 runs, shami taking 7 wickets ? tribute to Thala ig). But it all came down to this, we lost the finals... After all this we lost, 1.5 billion hearts are broken, the 12 year wait continues. But this tournament will never be forgotten, we laughed and we cried with our team and supported them at every step. We saw moments we'll never forget, we made memories seeing records being broken and our boys having the time of their lives, hugging and dancing on the field and being more excited for the mighty fielding medal than the actual match itself. So this tournament will forever be remembered. You'd expect me to say congratulations to Australia but no, they played well ofc but no team played cricket better than India... Just bcz this team didn't performed in one single match didn't mean that they didn't deserve to win this. Kohli gave all of his soul, Rohit made this team what it is and Shami gutted all his haters but sadly luck was not on our side. After winning all 10 matches our unbeaten streak got broken in the finals only. Yes I'm heartbroken to core but at the same time I'm bloody proud of our boys who gave everything they had, your heads should be held high. In my own delusional world India won this cup and not just team India but the whole country. In my mind we are the winners and the team got the prize for their blood, sweat and tears. You'll all be remembered forever as champions.

You watching the match? It's like only India's matches are boring. Rest of the matches are so wow. Pakistan vs Sri Lanka. England vs Afghanistan. South Africa vs Netherlands. And now Pakistan vs Australia.

When is it going to be India's turn to have a match with twists and turns???😭😭

I’ve not been watching other matches, I just woke up from a nap lmao

but I see some highlights and they are quite interesting!!

I think India will soon have one as well, but for rn it’s good they’re winning

[stoookes]

can we please have a small scene in next chap of omegaverse about the england players and especially stu, reacting to vk's first international century? according to a quick espn reference, the ton came in an odi vs sri lanka on chirstmas eve in 2009. india won the match. also sri lanka were a very strong side in 2009, with bowlers like malinga and jaysuriya still around, so nobody can really use the excuse for vk that the omega only scored a century because he was playing against minnows! thanks! <3

Ooooo - this might actually line up perfectly… 🧐

Thank you for highlighting this for me!

Ind vs Pakistan 2023 Asia Cup Super 4

  Cricket Journals

An account of Virat Kohli’s 77th century :

India vs Pakistan, what is it, it is an emotion attached to all the cricket supporters around the world, be it India, Pakistan, England, or Australia, it is cherished and remembered all over the world. And what does it feel like when your favorite player scores a century in that match, well it feels delighted, a moment to cherish, celebrate and to remember all your lifetime and let me tell you one interesting story of such kind of an event. It was 2023, an amazing year for all cricket fans in the world because we have the ODI World Cup, Asia Cup, WTC Final and many more series such as The Ashes, Ind vs South Africa and many more. But there is one more thing that is wanted by all cricket fans and we have it three times and who knows four times this year. The cherish able, always remembered, India vs Pakistan. Two times in the Asia cup and one time in the ODI World cup, we will witness this amazing rivalry even more this year. September 2023, and the awaited month has arrived. The Asia Cup kicked off with its initial matches. It was happening in Pakistan and Sri Lanka both as India refused to play because of political issues and many more issues which both country’s government crib about. On 2 September, we had the match in Colombo, meaning India vs Pakistan in Colombo. The match started, surprisingly according to the weather forecast, there was no signs of rain in the starting. But that match did not finish because till the finishing of India’s innings which was the first innings, there was rain, drama, and lots of sadness in every spectator’s mind because firstly India had not played well and secondly due to that rain match was abandoned and both teams shared one point each. Well, as I told there were two games so we had the fixture again on 10th September as part of the super four stage. There was rain, drama, and lots of delightfulness in this match because this match was completed and it also witnessed the run machine’s 77th century and he also completed 13,000 runs in ODI cricket. Do you know who I am referring to ?, yes Virat Kohli, my favorite player and the charm of every Indian spectator watching that game. He came in to play and replenishing all his mistakes that led to his dismissal in the last game, he smashed a well driven 122* of 94 deliveries with KL Rahul also scoring a century. They both stitched a 233-run partnership and stretched India’s score to 357 for just the loss of 2 wickets. It was an easy defend for India and dismissed the whole of Pakistan in just 128 runs and in the bowling unit, Kuldeep Yadav also took 5 wickets and bowled an excellent spell dismissing some of their key batters.

We all got the gift from Kohli, we all wanted and deserved. He played as a well accumulator and in the end accelerating to his hundred. It was a classic Kohli innings and a classic Indian win. As expected, Virat received the Man of the Match and that is all we could ask by him in the match of one of the most cherished rivalries of all time.

Script

 Baddegama Script

Team members: 

-Semini

-Shiza

-Pinipa

-Thesandu

Hi guys, My name is Semini and today we will be doing a comparative analysis of novel vs film. I am joined here with Shiza, Pinipa, and Thesandu. the film that we chose is Baddegama. Baddegama(also known as village in the jungle is an english novel written by Leonard Woolfe and readapted into a sinhala version by the famous Sri Lankan Director Lester James Peiris. What we’ll be discussing in the film includes

Sem- Author vs Director

Themes

Hierarchy and Gazes

Mise en scene

Cinematography

Shiza- Author vs Director

Leonard Woolf, born in England on November 25, 1880, arrived in Sri Lanka in 1904 as a public servant and by 1908 was working as a government agent in Hambantota. Inspired by his stay in Sri Lanka, he returned to England in 1911 and wrote his most famous piece, The Village in the Jungle in 1913.

Lester James Peiris, a well-known Sri Lankan cinema director, screenwriter, and producer, was born in Sri Lanka on April 5, 1919. Despite not having a strong interest in movies at first, he went on to direct more than 28 well regarded movies and gained recognition as a director. He released Baddegama in 1980.

SIMILARITIES:

Both the novel and the film are set in a rural village that show the struggles and harsh realities that people at the time faced.

Both the novel and the film explore the impact of British colonialism. Although not direct, it is evident in both, that hierarchies are drastically present, not just outside the village but within it too.

DIFFERENCES:

Leonard Woolf, a British colonial officer, reflects what Edward W Said refers to as Orientalism, the West's perception of the East as exotic and backward, when he portrays the Sri Lankans in the novel, the Village in the Jungle as helpless and imprisoned by nature and superstition. 

Lester James Peries, presents a more genuine and respectful portrayal of village life in Baddegama in the film. Shifting from Woolf's exotic picture, he presents the villagers as multifaceted individuals with unique talents, eliminating the Orientalist clichés that Said assesses.

In addition to the above statements, the two varied views of the author and the director may also have been influenced by the fact that they were in two different eras of Ceylon and Sri Lanka. 

Woolf was a pre-colonial Sri Lankan, who published his novel during the era and Peiris was a post-colonial Sri Lankan, who released his film after the British Colonial era and Sri Lanka’s independence.

Shiza- Themes 

REPRESENTATION AND PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN

The novel portrays village life from a British colonial perspective, depicting women as oppressed and confined to traditional roles. In contrast, the film offers a more nuanced local view, subtly highlighting both the strengths and struggles of the women through its visuals.

For example: Hinni Hami's determination to fight back and her efforts to manage her family are put to the test when the village doctor, Vedarala, tries to pursue her, causing trouble for her household.

Additionally, the depiction of the male gaze in the novel reflects a highly sexist perspective. In the novel, Punchi Manika is described as feeling both excited and scared as she is being engulfed, whereas in the film, she appears terrified and is shown resisting Babun's actions.

HUMANS BEING REFFERED TO AS ANIMALS:

In the narrative, the villagers are portrayed as animals: women are portrayed as devoted dogs, Arachchi as a jackal or wolf, and Silindu as a water buffalo. The British system is portrayed as cunning hunters. The film shows Hinni hami’s tragedy and Silindu’s sudden bravery despite consequences, all from the viewpoint of the village in the jungle. 

This contrast implies that only characters who are viewed as backward are shown as animals, while other characters are portrayed as regular people.

 

Sem- Hierarchy and gazes

Hierarchy is present in many parts of Baddegama, and there are several types of hierarchy which includes, 

Whites vs locals 

Being a country under British rule at the time, the white’s had a power dynamic over the locals of the country. The subtle rules of the people of Baddegama were evident through something as simple as one’s clothing. By imposing their rules onto the locals, they got a sense of superiority which was infiltrating the norms of the locals. In contrast to this, the local man often dressed in clothes with relation to the environment around him and the work that he had to do, focusing less on how he appears and more on. practicality. The book is subtle with mentioning descriptions of how they dressed while the movie has gone into great detail about their looks which I believe the director did to mention the effect of the British rule more upfront as the book only gave monologues or text describing it.

Oppressor vs oppressed (referencing the white man’s burden)

The oppressor vs oppressed references the relationship between the white man and the locals, and an example of this is the White man's burden by Rudyard Kipling, which I found interesting as he was a brown person himself. The poem talks about the heavy burden of the white man to take care of the lesser educated brown man and this is evident with how the author speaks of the villagers, claiming they act like animals while this is how their society functions.

The Baddegama village system

Even amongst the villagers, there was a certain hierarchical system. The village headman had his position due to him being the only one in the village who could write his name, this also shows an influence of white culture as back in those times, writing was not a priority for their everyday work life.

Gazes 

The novel gaze vs film gaze (point of view of the author & director)

The novel delves into the lives of these characters much more, giving thorough descriptions on their thoughts, struggles amongst other things, while the film focuses more on visual storytelling due to certain limitations in movie production. This can be seen with how descriptive the novel gets while the film is limited to only visualization. There is a depth of character for Silindu as we see his conflicting emotions and his emotional growth as a person throughout the book, specifically towards his daughters, whilst the film did not have any sign of having change as a person and had not mentioned how Silindu had abused his wife and that was the most likely reason she passed.

Thesandu- Cinematography

 For cinematography, both novels and movies depict a perspective of observing characters through the jungle. But the novel describes the characters in a way that overlooks animals from a high place and a distance throughout. Observing from a human or even divine perspective only reinforces the animality of the character

（Insert the story arc）

However, the movie cleverly uses mise en scenes to peek into the corners of the jungle while saving costs and facing technological limitations of the times, successfully creating a world where the audience can peer like wild beasts in the forest. Make movies more effective in enhancing the humanity of characters and even understanding the beastly nature of empathetic characters. For example, Silindu and our audience saw the water buffalo from a distance from a different perspective. Silindu's vivid expression expressed thinking and rationality, allowing the audience to better understand the later animalistic outburst of Silindu killing Arachni.

The same animalistic moments in movies have not been completely abandoned, but rather appear more targeted in scenes such as Babun's oppression of Punchi Manika, Silindu's fear of Vedalala's curse, the juxtaposition of deer and HinniHami's death scenes, and the killing of Arachni, which are filled with darkness between people. At this moment, the jungle was as dark, lush, and terrifying as in the novel.

The village is a symbol of an old civilization, and in the novel, the village has disappeared. Although there are still various terrifying beasts at the beginning of the movie, the director's portrayal of the jungle is not without sunshine, and the villages have not disappeared. This symbolizes the independence of the Sri Lankan government and the fact that civilization has not fallen. Pinipa will use more symbolism to explain.

Pini- Symbolism 

(In cinematography, symbolism plays a crucial role in storytelling. In a dried, desolate environment, symbols like skulls and skeletons, represents the deathfullness.

The plants and trees, like thorny grasses and cacti, symbolize resilience, thriving in the drought-stricken environment in it.

Book has widely described the environment, people and the props.. 

In the book Leonard Woolf has described the humans as skinny and unhealthy people. 

Both the book and film use symbolism effectively. The film incorporates visual elements like bones and skulls to represent death and fear while the book itself describes from words. And the book describes everything in detail too. 

The film also features both innocent and carnivorous animals, hinting at the villagers' inner reality. These animals reflect the struggle between vulnerability and survival within the harsh environment they endure. 

The villagers, blinded by myths of evil spirits, believe the devil resides in trees. To symbolize this, Sri Lankan devil masks are hung on trees, reflecting the culture. 

Since cultivating is the villagers' main livelihood, they have use axe and hoe in the movie.. To make the farm they fire the forest down. In sinhala we say hen gini thiyanava. And they have represent that too in  the film to make it realistic. 

To highlight the gap between different social classes, cultures and job positions the film cleverly uses various elements like clothing , props and backgrounds. 

Poor villagers have their own house with mud and cocunut roof while the arachchi who has a position in the village has a brick house with ulu roof it self. Also his house is painted in white. Which only the richest people can do back then. 

Book haven’t described either how their clothes look or houses look like. It has only been mentioned that the arachchi ( village headman ) was the only man who has knowledge at least to write his name. 

In the cinema itself is a brown and white cinema. Hence it’s the beginning of color cinema. It has fewer colors. 

There's not much to discuss regarding lighting, as the entire film is shot in daylight, relying on natural light. This choice enhances the realism and emphasizes the harshness of the environment.
