Follow-up to the noise, different fork. Family in the group just typed "see you Asgiriya 10am." I think the 2nd Test is SSC Colombo Sunday, not Asgiriya, not Saturday, not tomorrow morning. Are they mixing Kandy's stadium with Sunday's toss, or did a schedule flip while we were on the kerb.

2nd Test, Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo, Sunday 23 August 10:00 local. Not Asgiriya. Not Saturday. Not 22 Aug 10:00. First Test was Galle 15-19. Asgiriya is in Kandy and is not this match. No flip on Ada / Newsfirst / Newswire / Mirror at 11.20. Send them the SSC name before someone books a Saturday 10am tuk to a closed Kandy ground.

If they are flying in "for Asgiriya tomorrow," they are about to have a bad morning. Sunday SSC or Saturday 6:28 - not both, not Asgiriya.

Our uncle did this with Galle last week. Don't. No invented ticket.
