Chamindaa Vaas's Achievement

68.6 Vaas to Kumble, no run, good length delivery, bowled from round the wicket, forced away straight to the fielder at gully, that’s 10 maidens in a row for Vaas!

What an exhilarating display by Srilanka, they have gathered the much needed momentum from this lifeless match with a terrific team effort. Chaminda Vaas was all-accuracy, he has bowled 10 overs today, picked up a wicket and above all never conceded a single run! The Indians were made to struggle to Murali’s guiles, the off-spinner at his best is always a treat to watch

Look at his stats after the Indian batting:

Vaas 21 14 20 4

21 overs conceded 20 runs, 14 maidens and got 4 wickets :k:

Re: Chamindaa Vaas's Achievement

Can somebody who saw the match tell me if it was his bowling that was so good or were the indians just not interesting in making runs? Either way all out for 167 is pretty damn good... or is this because of the pitch condition?

Sincerely,

Re: Chamindaa Vaas's Achievement

he was bowling good .. and indian i was surprised were having hard time playing him.. just line and length bowling nothing extra ordinary..

Re: Chamindaa Vaas's Achievement

Can someone please inform me if Vaas is the first (Sri Lankan) bowler in Test Cricket to bowl ten (10) straight maidens? Is anyone above/below/(close to) this record?

Re: Chamindaa Vaas’s Achievement

i think chandrasekhar (or chandrashekar) bowled some 23 or even 24 maiden overs on the trot

Re: Chamindaa Vaas’s Achievement

Now that doesnt speak much of Indian cricket team :stuck_out_tongue:
