February 16th, 1992 was the date and Manly Oval was the scene, for the World Cup warm up match between the touring Sri Lankans and an elite Manly President's XI. After many months of negotiations between our Club, the Australian Cricket Board and the Sri Lankan Cricket Board, the all clear was given only three weeks before the scheduled match date. Sri Lankan born businessman, Dilip Kumar from Peninsula Holden instigated initial talks with the Sri Lankan Board and the Club thanks him for his assistance in staging the match. Dilip's company, Peninsula Holden, was also the match day sponsor, with contributions also from The Communications Depot, Air Lanka and A Taste of India.
