With Sri Lanka set to start their tour of England later in the month, Rex Clementine reminisces, in the Island, about Sri Lanka's win at the Oval in 1998 and other moments of glory on English soil.
Never a person to mince his words, captain Arjuna Ranatunga rubbed salt into the English wounds at the post match media conference, after the historic 1998 Oval triumph, when he was asked the reason why England didn’t award Sri Lanka a three Test series. "I don’t know. Probably they don’t want to lose 3-0 to us," he said in the typical sarcastic Ranatunga style.
