Vaas does it with DHL by SRIAN OBEYESEKERE Making music with the ball these days seems to come as easy for Chaminda Vaas as exercising his vocal chords in the music world. The Sri Lankan star, who though insists that, 'singing is only a hobby whenever I have the time,' struck a chord with the Sunday Observer the other day as to his 'two worlds' where cricket came first. The occasion was the sponsoring of the country's champion bowler in the fast lane of bowling by DHL at the Trans Asia Hotel recently. The sponsorship, the quantum which the company did not wish to disclose, was seen as a giant step forward in fostering cricket in the country. Vaas, who of late has emerged as the next Wasim Akram for that toe crushing yorker which even rocked Australia's star studded batsmen in the recent one-day series, was hailed as a role model of a bowler who according to DHL Keells, Country Manager, Chaminda Hewamallika, 'had shown the world that it did not require flamboyance, but sheer dedication to reach the top.' There was Vaas blessed at the 1-year signing. |
