Today is a Leap Day ! But do you know why this day exists? It takes the earth a little bit less than 365 ¼ days to orbit the Sun. For this reason, the full day is only added once every four years.
It’s very rare to get a Cricket match scheduled on February 29th and when it comes to Sri Lanka Cricket February 29, 2004 was special.
Powered by a record 66-run stand for the 8th wicket between Nuwan Zoysa and Russel Arnold, Sri Lanka beat Australia by 3 wickets at home in a thriller.
Sri Lanka 202 for 7 (Zoysa 47*) beat Australia 198 for 7 (Symonds 40*, Zoysa 3-48) by three wickets.
