    This is in SL and we do not know latin and our schools do not teach latin. There are no Latin teachers , too.
    But our National Selector and (later nearly missed being the only adult actor)a short lived commentator said 'pas'(instead of dust) is coming off the wicket when the ball hit the ground. If 'pas' or soil is coming off then the wicket is badly damaged and should not be suitable for playing cricket at international level.

    FYI: There ARE Latin teachers, and one can study Greek too, but of course for the degree. (That's irrelevant here anyway.)

    2. The "pas" was an impromptu talk. Not a prepared speech.

    3. Disce thing came up in a "prepared" speech which, if the minister really meant what he spoke, should have been checked not only for any new phrases, but also for the meaning of what it contains.

    THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE MATE
