Kumar Sangakkara Few things could not do in Test cricket. While walking in the SSC ground on the second evening of your test number 100, would have been one of the unfulfilled goals - playing in the victory over Australia - was a step further. Sangakkara has tasted victory against all Test nations, and although much work remains in this game, it might be your best opportunity to complete the set.
It is a day that began with Michael Hussey 15 test century and four wickets away from rookie Shaminda ERANGE, Sri Lanka ready for a good 166 2 However, they pulled 150 works in Australia, but is made to look Sangakkara and Jayawardene Mahel 61 31 , Sri Lanka could certainly the dream of building a first innings advantage.
The couple had put on 68, but on a surface offering little bowlers, there was no reason why the numbers were not significantly develop the third day. Sangakkara made his half-century of his 86th delivery, with an incision cut on the edge off Mitchell Johnson, one ball after he sent a ball similar to the short and long rope.
He and Jayawardene had come together after losing Paranavitana Tharanga, who is 46 Johnson drove away from meat bat only to see Ricky Ponting took a catch at short cover bright. Paranavitana had already survived one closest to the estimates available on the DRS LBW when on 14 Aleem Dar was given no treatment.
Australia has wanted to challenge the decision and, when planted Trent Copeland had delivered online and had an array of radiation, a fraction less than half the ball hit the trunk to save the attacking half. Only a first step forward was when Peter Siddle, playing his first test of the Tour, sneaking through the defense Lahiru Thirimanne.
The 28 Thirimanne was beaten by a good delivery fullish overlooking the track and struck the stumps. He was always a reward for good bowling from Siddle, although the visitors had missed the injured Ryan Harris with the new ball.
Australia wanted an early wickets after reaching a competitive economy, but far from imposing a total of 316 in the first session when Hussey continued his remarkable series refers to his one hundred and second in the series. Sri Lanka fast bowler back ERANGE Hussey removed just before lunch to finish with four rings in his debut.
Australia added 81 to his overnight score of the loss of their last five wickets for Erang and Chanaka Welegedara much upset and took some turns. But the star of the session was Hussey, who at 36 is the kind of form he showed early in his career as a trial. Man of the Match in the first two tests, he also gave himself a good chance to complete a sweep clean.
Hussey up his hundred with a single cut his legs off Rangana Herath his 157th delivery and continues with an incredible series against Sri Lanka. In the five tests he played against Sri Lanka, the only battle where Hussey failed to write a century was the first test of this series of Galle, where he made the 95th
He also became the fifth fastest to reach 5000 Australia test, be there on the sleeves slow only Don Bradman 107th, Matthew Hayden, Neil Harvey and Greg Chappell. He reached this milestone with a pair of cutoffs across borders Welegedara, but for a time it seemed that Hussey was in danger of being trapped in 99.
Hussey waited for his hundred, was gently pushed in the Johnson and Siddle Welegedara point edge the next ball to drop. Fortunately for Hussey, Copeland ball survived the hat-trick and provide adequate support, at least until next Welegedara more when Mahela Jayawardene was spinning.
But then, Hussey reached his century, and the goal was simply to push the total as high as possible with the collaboration of Nathan Lyon final. Hussey lofted six more on Herath, 118 before he was deceived by a slower ball and played, completing a good first performance ERANGE, who finished with 4-65.
ERANGE had taken the first wicket after a good outswinger was sentenced to take the edge of Brad Haddin BAT, when Haddin was 35 seemed surprised by the decision and asked again, but was a little 'noise in the ball passed the bat and there was certainly no evidence of grace for him.
Haddin had hit six boundaries in his innings, but mixed with several games and had its successes. In the end, was simply outclassed a fine delivery ERANGE. And if the Australian bowlers Sangakkara and Jayawardene outclassed by, plotted series is very possible.
