Only this time, he\u2019s supporting two teams, not one. The other one being Sri Lanka where he spent 14-and-a-half months, 10 of them waiting for cricket to resume from lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">\u201cI went for the original England-Sri Lanka Test match in March 2020 which was called off. I decided to stay back for work,\u201d he recalled. \u201cThen as UK locked down, it was an easy enough decision to stay. As time wore on, there were chances of England coming back to play in January, it became more than an idea and became the goal for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">When England\u2019s tour of Sri Lanka resumed with the Galle Test in January, Lewis was the only English supporter chanting Barmy Army songs\u2014the famous supporter&#8217;s club of English cricket\u2014atop the Galle fort, which provides a rare vantage point for fans to watch live action 50 meters from the boundary.

So more than anything I just wanted to say a massive thank you. We really appreciate you being here and making the effort to come down and support us,\u201d Root told Lewis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">\u201cThe call was very surreal. I couldn\u2019t believe, it was Joe. It was an amazing gesture,\u201d Lewis said. With his new found fame, he\u2019s made some good friends. \u201cI messaged Jos (Buttler) after his hundred the other day, and he thanked me back which was pretty cool,\u201d he said. \u201cI was there at the ground and it was just incredible to see him bring up the hundred with a six of the last ball.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adHeight313\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"adslot4\" class=\"storyAd ht-dfp-ad\" data-google-query-id=\"CN6GjonOg_QCFSAatwAdfRsHcA\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">England have won every game in the World Cup so far. Lewis calls Morgan\u2019s team the \u201cgolden generation\u201d that\u2019s wiping off bad memories from the 90s and the 2000s. Lewis may have enjoyed the Buttler ton against Sri Lanka but in every non-England match, Sri Lanka is his de facto team to support. \u201cI now make it a point to go and support Sri Lanka. I ask my friends if they want to come. They don\u2019t, but I have decided to go on my own for the Sri Lanka games. Their fans are amazing. They come up to me to say hello, knowing I support their team which is nice,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Being back at the stands to near full capacity, Lewis is loving the experience buut he has a grievance. \u201cThey play that tune \u2018live the game, love the game\u2019 far too much over and over again at the grounds. They try and create an atmosphere and don\u2019t give the crowd a chance to sing and make their own noise,\u201d he said. \u201cThey try to make the crowd clap with them and have failed miserably.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adHeight313\">\n<div id=\"adslot5\" class=\"storyAd ht-dfp-ad\" data-google-query-id=\"CLnnsorOg_QCFTUctwAdvMsLgw\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inlineIMG\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\"><picture><source title=\"Rob Lewis\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.hindustantimes.com\/img\/2021\/11\/06\/400x225\/rob_lewis_1636173608680_1636173609011.jpg\" media=\"(max-width:767px)\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sortDec\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barmy Army&#8217;s one man wonder in UAE backing Sri Lanka too Having turned up atop the Galle fort as the solo England fan in closed-door Test, Rob Lewis says after spending more than a year in Sri Lanka he is supporting the island nation too at the World T20.
