TT Samaraweera 45*

I would be very suprised if Samaraweera doesnt make a big hundred here.

He is Laxman like. That being the bullies of flat tracks. The boosted average due to there complete dominance on flat tracks.

Did Dilshan open again? He has really hit form in the last year. Become one of the best players to watch in world cricket in all forms of the game IMO

Dilshan is great to watch in all forms, he is a very free scoring player. And yes CK he did open. Only faced about 135 balls as well.

Good to see he is making runs as an opener and still being attacking. 135 balls for his ton, freak!

Having a look at his record for this year vs (career)
961 runs @ 73.62 (3443 runs @ 43.03)
5 hundreds (9 hundreds)
1 fifty (13 fifties)
85.42 s/rate (63.87 s/rate)

That strike rate is amazing in test match cricket!!! THose stats back up what i thought, he is a freak in career best form at the moment! If only Sri Lanka were in Australia this year, with our attack against Dilshan, Sangakkara and Jayawaredene. It would be a great test for our boys IMO

That is Mahela's 6th Double century by the way. He would have to have the most of anyone in the modern era wouldnt he?? shoulda backed the better batsman out of the two with a big hundred!

sri lanka 6/729 still with 55 overs left today

ALL TIME MOST 200+ scores
12 Bradman
9 Lara
7 Hammond
6 Jayawardene
6 Sangkakkara
6 Minadad
6 Atapattu

looks like ending in a draw

6 double tons by 3 sri lankans in the modern era.

Guess it probably says more about the pitches they play on and who they play!

R Dravid 85*
M Muralitharan 2/100

DEBUT - PP Ojha (India)

- First time India have scored 400 runs in a single day

No wonder why test matches will die soon on the sub continent... Whats happened to the days of winning the toss and batting, with the ball doing a lot until middle of the 2nd session, and then time for the set batters to cash in. With the last 2 days getting extremely hard to bat on.

PRODUCE RESULT PITCHES IDIOTS

SCORES in the SERIES

1ST TEST
IN 426 an insipid pathetic batting effort
SL 7/760 DEC
IN 4/412 after a batting collapse that saw IN 4/275
Match total 21/1598 zzzzzzz
SL 7/760
IN 8/838
If only these were 10 day Test matches

2ND TEST
IN collapsed losing thier last 7 wickets for 131
IN 642


You can argue that both sides bat well
But without being there it appears the batting decks are made of tar
Perhaps the Indians have made non spinning decks becoz SL have superior spinners ????

This is precisely why the sub continent teams can never expect to have reigns of decades as WI/AU have had


SL 1/7 DILSHAN 0 [hope he dosent jump onto a railway line !]

India after being 4/613 at one stage were all out for 642. Sri Lanka were then 1/0 meaning that 7 wickets just fell for 29 runs after the 1st 4 wickets produced 613.
India 642
Sri Lanka 1/39
