Greatest Tests: Giles' great survival act in Galle vs Dravid's Adelaide conquest

Which one would you pick: a great stonewalling effort against Muralitharan on a fifth-day Galle pitch or a display of supreme Test-match batsmanship in a hostile environment?

Back to where it all began for Collingwood

As the groundsmen of Galle fight against the elements ahead of Tuesday's final Test, the England batsman, Paul Collingwood, is readying himself for a return to the ground at which he made his debut four years ago

Sri Lanka v England

At Galle, December 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 2003

Giles gives England the edge

England had the better of a rain-shortened first day at Galle

SL coach optimistic about remaining Tests

John Dyson, Sri Lanka's coach, was upbeat after his first Test match in charge, saying that Sri Lanka were the dominant team and the only winners in Galle had rain not interrupted play on the fourth afternoon
