Ten years after scoring his maiden Test century, Upul Tharanga notched his second as Sri Lanka dominated day two of the first Test against Zimbabwe in Harare. Tharangas first century had come against Bangladesh in March 2006, and his 110 not out on Sunday allowed Sri Lanka to amass 537 all out in their first innings.Having dropped seven catches in the field, and seen three dubious umpiring calls go against them, Zimbabwe managed to rouse themselves with the bat and reach stumps 88-1.While opener Brian Chari fell in Rangana Heraths first over, Tino Mawoyo reached the close unbeaten on 41, while Hamilton Masakadza was 33 not out.Tharanga had not played a Test in more than a year and was not picked in Sri Lankas initial squad, but made the most of his opportunity when it came along.The first day had seen Kusal Perera cash in on two dropped catches to score 110, and Tharanga enjoyed similar fortune on the second day.The 31-year-old resumed the day on 13 with Sri Lanka 317-4, and he earned a reprieve on 66 when he chipped a delivery from Donald Tiripano to short midwicket, where Mawoyo put down the chance.On top of Zimbabwes charity in the field, Sri Lanka benefited from three questionable decisions in which umpires Simon Fry and Ian Gould turned down appeals for lbw that replays suggested should have been given out , but the Decision Review System is not in use for the series.All-rounder Asela Gunaratne marked his Test debut for Sri Lanka by scoring 54 in a 99-run stand for the sixth wicket with Tharanga.When the visitors were finally dismissed, Zimbabwe looked shaky with the bat when Herath introduced himself into the attack in just the sixth over and dismissed Chari, but Masakadza got through a nervy start to share in an unbroken 67-run stand with Mawoyo.

A common question I am routinely asked is, Did your father introduce you to golf? While the technical answer is yes, he is the first person to put a club in my hands, it was my grandmother who paved the path for me to learn the sport.In 1964, at 43 years old, my Mexican abuelita, Mami Cuy, began to play golf when her brother introduced her to the game. Slowly her passion began to develop and grow. In 1965, she and her family joined Club de Golf Mexico in Mexico City, a course that was ranked in the top 100 in the world at the time.It wasnt until recently that I realized how uncommon it was for a woman to introduce her family to the sport. During her time, not many women played. Mami Cuy didnt fit the protocol of the time though. She attended school up until the third grade, but, despite her lack of schooling, she did everything within her power to educate herself. According to my father, there wasnt a time when she didnt have a book or magazine in her hand.When she married her first husband, she married into wealth. He owned an import and export business based out of Brownsville, Texas. Tragedy struck when he passed away from a brain tumor in 1955. Left behind with four children, my grandmother took care of them on her own with the help from some loved ones. She was beautiful and poised, but more importantly, she was strong and resilient. Perhaps thats why she was initially drawn to golf, a sport that requires so much mental toughness.She helped run her deceased husbands business but realized she needed help with the financials. A family friend recommended an accountant he knew, and not long after what started off as a business relationship turned into love. In 1960, she remarried and had three more children. With seven children at home, she certainly had also developed the patience needed to play.My grandmothers passion for the game so was infectious that she inspired her brothers and other family members. My uncles Armando and Javier and my father, Alejandro, were most influenced by their mothers love for the game. Armando became obsessed. One year, he called my father and said, Im quitting golf. Come and get all my clubs. My father said he acquired 12 sets of golf clubs from Armandos brief hiatus. Javier went into construction and built and designed several golf courses in Mexico. My father went on to play college golf and became a head pro at a golf course in the United States.I was told that Mami Cuy loved golf because she relished the good shots. When my father and his brothers would get homme after a round and sit at the dinner table, he said it wasnt unusual for them to start going over all the terrible shots they hit.dddddddddddd His mother looked at them one time and said, You know, I dont hit very many good shots, so the ones I do hit well, I try to focus on those.For my grandmother, golf was more than just a game she played with her sons. She used it as an opportunity to teach them respect, honor and kindness. She used it as a way to be with the people she loved and to give back to those around her. She continued to play after her second husband also passed away from a brain tumor in 1970. Golf was an outlet she used to grieve and mourn the loss of someone she loved to play golf with.Beyond the gift of introducing my family to golf, my grandmother appreciated the privilege to play. It was through that privilege that she was able to help others.Jueves was a young teenage boy who caddied for my grandmother at Club Cocoyoc before she joined Club de Golf Mexico. He had a bad left leg due to a car accident. Wanting to help, my grandmother brought Jueves to see a doctor who was an orthopedic surgeon. Mami Cuy paid for his surgery, and the use of his left leg was more or less restored. The doctors wife then invited Jueves into their home and he stayed there until he graduated from high school. Years later, my father helped his brother, Javier, with the construction of a golf course just outside of Cocoyoc. When my father went to the Club Cocoyoc in search of Jueves, he found him with his sleeves rolled up, wearing a tie surrounded by papers with a plaque on his desk that read, Head Bookkeeper.Jueves got up to hug my father and said, Give a hug to Mami Cuy. I will never forget her.I never had the opportunity to play golf with her and my interactions were limited. She continued to live in Mexico City while my father started a new life in the United States. By the time I was born, she had slowly stepped away from the game as she had no one to play with any longer. Sadly, she passed away from Alzheimers in 2004.Now that I know her history and love for a sport that would one day change my life, I cant help but wish I could play just one hole with her. I would love to experience the joy she had in sharing something she loved so dearly.My father put it best, I can never forget her happiness on the course, especially with her children. She was alive at the course. ' ' '
