Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
^well, he should reach 100-5-fors in his career :D He is at the moment stuck somewhere around 54/55
and not to forget 25 10-fors. He is somewhere around 15/16?
and of course the 1000 test wickets :D

Why's Atapattu not in the team? still injured?
Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
This could be Jayasuriya's last test innings. SL don't play any more tests after this until Summer 2007.
Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
SLA losing their way slightly - three wickets (Tharanga, Jayasuriya and more importantly Sangakkara all back in the pavilion) gone in quick succession
63-3
still a healthy lead of 201 with 7 wickets remaining
Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
I can understand all those records would be good for him and his country but I am just trying to digest why YOU want him to achieve those records? You are not from SL, are you?
BTW he has 54 fivers so far.

Stumps - Day 2
Sri Lanka 268 & 225/5 - Silva 79* Jayawardene 22*
New Zealand 130
Sri Lanka lead by 363 runs with 5 wickets remaining
With three full days left, SriLanka should win from here
Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
no no, I’m not from SL. Just a great fan Murali’s. Especially, after he had to endure all those false allegations, particularly from the Aussies/Hair. Waiting for the day Murali takes 10 wickets in an innings against Australia

Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
New Zealand set an improbable target of 504 were 75-2 at the close of play on day 3.

Re: NZ vs SL - 2ND Test @ Wellington, Dec 15-19
SL wins
just few days back SL and India got severe thrashing, now they both are returning the favor, SL already won their game and India is about to win, reversal of fortunes :)
