They talk about “confusion” as if it is a form of dyslexia and that becomes the dysfunctional norm in this part of the world.

Rumours on how former Sri Lanka Test captain Hashan Tillekeratne had been appointed then ‘fired’ as manager left most foreign and Indian journalists bemused although he said he was still the manager.
