1st Test: Sri Lanka v India at Galle, Aug 12-16, 2015

India 50/4

The highest successful chase is 99 in Galle.The pitch had slowed down and they lost it all in a flurry.
From the possibility of losing by an innings to winning this Test match,SL were impressive.


Perfect farewell for Sanga.

Just unbelieveable stuff !!

                                 

                 

                               

                                       

So, that happened then. What a remarkable turn around by Sri Lanka to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Brilliant from Chandimal to set a tricky target, and then Herath did the rest. Given the strong position India were in, this will hurt doubly - this was just the second time they have lost a Test match when chasing a target under 200.

Herath moves ahead of Bishan Bedi as the third highest wicket taker in Test cricket by a left-arm spinner. Of all left-arm spinners to have taken at least 50 wickets, Herath has the sixth lowest strike rate, and second lowest post World War 2.
