Sri Lanka take the stats honours

Sri Lanka scored more runs, lost fewer wickets, and made India sweat through most of the three matches

09-Aug-2010•S Rajesh

Steel bands, the Brothers Ranatunga, and Viru's mock presser

Oh to be in Sri Lanka's capital, where the cops drive tuk-tuks, the felons are Bradmanesque, the shoes mandatory, and the music unceasing

09-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga

Murali says goodbye and Paranavitana impresses

Sehwag sparkles and Raina grabs his chance

Sehwag entertained, Laxman proved his critics wrong again and Raina took his chance to play Test cricket in style

08-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga in Sri Lanka

Close series between rivals with bare cupboards

It is a credit to both teams that despite the overkill of cricket between the two nations, despite the dead pitch at the SSC, despite the lack of bowling resources, they played out two tense Test matches

08-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga in Sri Lanka

Consistent Randiv earns his respect

It was tough to not spare a thought for Randiv, who bowled skilfully and didn't dish out too many freebies despite his inexperience at the highest level

07-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Calm Laxman defies spasms and past demons

A testing fifth-day pitch, an accurate rookie spinner, an old foe in Ajantha Mendis and a troublesome back were all thrown at VVS Laxman. Yet, he found a way to sneak past them to see India home

07-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Graceful Samaraweera answers critics

Thilan Samaraweera showed what he was truly made of, and his chemistry with Ajantha Mendis at the crease came at a time when things were going horribly wrong

06-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

The catch that carried, or did it?

Plays of the day for the fourth day of the third Test between Sri Lanka and India at the P Sara Oval

06-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

India pay price for defensive mindset

Soon after Lasith Malinga joined Thilan Samaraweera in the middle, India stopped attacking the specialist batsman and allowed him easy runs

06-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Indian twist in the tail

The last three added 86, runs that would be twice as difficult to get when batting last on this crumbling beauty of a Test pitch

05-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Malinga the finger-cruncher

Plays of the day for the third day's play between Sri Lanka and India at the P Sara Oval

05-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Sehwag finds a way past defensive attacks

Sri Lanka persisted with their strategy of boring Virender Sehwag into a mistake but, at the P Sara Oval, he found a way to overcome the boredom, and still score freely

04-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Unlucky Mithun, blistering Sehwag

Plays of the day for the second day of the third Test between Sri Lanka and India at the P Sara Oval

04-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Unsung Samaraweera anchors Sri Lanka

Thilain Samaraweera's innings wasn't captivating, but he handled the spinners effectively and carried the batting after the stars departed after starts

04-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Indian spinners fail to attack in pairs

Losing the toss can't be served as an excuse for India because their spinners failed to create pressure from both ends, and the no-balls were unpardonable

03-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

The price of over enthusiasm

Plays of the day for the opening day of the third Test between Sri Lanka and India at the P Sara Oval

03-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Depleted India attempt jailbreak

Anything less than 20 wickets won't suffice if the No. 1 side in the world is to go back home with their faces saved

02-Aug-2010•Sidharth Monga at the P Sara Oval

Flat tracks make for pointless cricket

Only one result was ever going to be possible on an SSC pitch that was a batting paradise
