3rd Test, Sri Lanka v South Africa, Statistical Highlights

It was the 1507th Test in cricket history

Cricketers are looked upon as role models

The authorities in the cricket world have lately been facing the predicament of having to take harsh decisions against leading cricketers of their respective countries

Postcard from Sri Lanka: Andrew Hall

Its crunch time on the morning of the third and final test match here in Sri Lanka

End of an era

Bright sunshine graced the Sinhalese Sports Club this evening as the game petered out into a predictable draw

Mission (mostly) accomplished

All things considered, South Africa could not have asked a great deal more of Shaun Pollock and his overhauled team than has been forthcoming in Sri Lanka over the past five to six weeks

Final test turning into anticlimax

The final test match of a previously enthralling series has become an anticlimax, a victim of the timid approach of both sides and the return of the monsoon

Postcard from Sri Lanka: Craig Smith

Well, what can you say

South Africa edge ahead on rain wrecked day

Were this a heavyweight boxing bout, something it thankfully hasn't become despite some ordinary umpiring once again, it would have involved much sparring but few knockout punches

Jayasuriya brightens the mood on gloomy second day

The second test of the final test match was for the most part a gloomy occasion

Sri Lankan seamers dominate but rain intervenes

After the dramatic and quite remarkable scenes in Kandy it was back to normality at the Sinhalese Sports Club today
