Sri Lanka v Australia

Australia in Sri Lanka, 2003-04

A study in sepia

Roving Reporter in Kandy

'I totally blame the batting' - Tillakaratne

'I don't think I could have bowled better' - Warne

Shane Warne became the first spinner in the history of the game to reach the 500-wicket mark as he tore apart the Sri Lankan batting order

A day to celebrate

At 1.38pm with the Galle Fort, the Indian Ocean and most of Australia behind him, Shane Warne sent down a fizzing legspinner
