Time
was 1950s when Sri Lanka enjoyed seeing foreign greats smash our bowlers
all over, hooting the locals for errors and also if they bowled tight
restricting the batsman or they batted for more than a few overs.
Even
Tony Greig 1960s no Asian lover then was keen to smash us out completely out of
any hope of test status.
Times
have changed, after 1996 fifty over competition with Whatmore with experience
in Australia coaching us.
And
now our coaches are second to none as is Hathurusinghe.
Watching
Kumaar Chokshanada Sangakkara play cat and mouse in the recent 50 over
championship was a treat.
4
hundreds in a row. Knowing it was his last appearance he went town producing
strokes he had not risked earlier. A treat to watch.
And
his average at retirement tests 58, fifty over
matches 41.
38
hundreds! ( 9 more than Bradman but Bradman played less tests) 25 fifties . His is within the first ten highest
averages ever. Tendulkar averages 53.00
He
is one of the finest and classed in the realm of Bradman.

Bangladesh v SA, 3rd ODI, ChittagongJuly 15, 2015
Bangladesh seal series with nine-wicket win
477
Bangladesh 170 for 1 in 26.1 overs (Sarkar 90, Tamim
61*) beat South Africa 168 for 9 in 40 overs (Duminy 51,
Shakib 3-33) by nine wickets (D/L method)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Bangladesh's fourth consecutive bilateral
series win
Not reputation, not rankings, not even
rain could stop Bangladesh from clinching a first bilateral series win over
South Africa, and a fourth successive series triumph at home. Bangladesh
dominated South Africa in every department, restricting them to a total of
under 200 and then romping to the target themselves, with 13.5 overs to
spare.
On the way, Shakib al Hasan and Mashrafe
Mortaza both picked up their 200th ODI wicket, Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar
posted the best partnership for Bangladesh against South Africa - 154 - and
Soumya scored the fastest fifty for a Bangladesh batsman against South Africa,
off 41 balls. South Africa could only watch and wonder how Bangladesh seemed to
be playing on a complete different surface to the slow, strangling one that had
snared them earlier.
South Africa's top order struggled
against the shrewd approach from Bangladesh's bowlers, who collectively put in
another disciplined performance. Only JP Duminy and David Miller had some
measure of conditions, adding 63 runs for the fifth wicket. Duminy went on to a
half-century but there were little resistance from anyone else, even the
recognised batsmen.
Quinton de Kock's failure to find form
extended to another innings as Mustafizur Rahman found his leg stump with a
full delivery that angled in and evaded the batsman as he tried to play to
mid-wicket.
Shakib was introduced in the sixth over
and immediately caused problems for South Africa's most experienced pair.
Neither Hashim Amla nor Faf du Plessis adjusted to the pitch of the ball, and
when du Plessis attempted to counterattack, he was caught off a top edge.
Four overs later, Shakib should have had
Amla as well. Amla played a similar to du Plessis', but Sabbir Rahman, who had
to backpedal from mid-off to judge the catch, could not hold on. Shakib was not
denied for too long, though. In his next over, Amla was caught behind to become
Shakib's 200th ODI wicket.
Mahmudullah had Rilee Rossouw caught when
he lost his balance trying to pull and South Africa were in trouble on 50 for 4
before Duminy and Miller dug in. Miller was more confident against spin and in
his use of the sweep shot than he has been all series, and Duminy, realising
the need to bat patiently, was happy to wait.
That was just as well, because the wait
lasted two hours and 55 minutes as rain interrupted South Africa's innings
after 23 overs with the score on 78 for 4. When play resumed, Miller continued
in his role as aggressor and until he hit Mortaza in the air and Sabbir made up
for his earlier drop with a diving catch at backward point to give the captain
his 200th.
Farhaan Behardien showed signs of the
fight he displayed in the second match, but holed out off Shakib as South
Africa looked to accelerate. Sabbir, stationed on the long-on boundary, caught
the ball overhead, but seeing that the momentum would take him over the rope,
threw it back in and then re-collected it once he was within the boundary. That
left Duminy with the tailenders, who were unable to cope with the cutter from
Mustafizur and the yorker from Rubel Hossain.
South Africa lost four wickets for 19
runs to leave their bowlers with a tough task, especially as they did not have
their premier pace pack to pull it off. They have previously successfully
defended just three totals lower than this - 129, 140 and 149 - and not even
Morne Morkel's inclusion could help them add 170 to that list.
Morkel bowled first change, behind Kyle
Abbott and Kagiso Rabada, but none of them could not find the right length or
line to trouble Bangladesh. They were either too short or too full, and almost
always too straight.
Tamim delighted in riding the bounce to
cut or lean into the on-drive, but Soumya held the early controls. He took
three successive boundaries off Rabada, all on the leg side, to bring
Bangladesh's fifty in the eighth over, before Amla turned to spin. Neither
Imran Tahir nor Duminy caused any problems, instead presenting opportunity for
the openers to charge down the track.
Soumya's fifty came off from a leg-side
ball from Morkel, eased to short fine leg, which only opened him up for more
expansive strokeplay: The cover drive off Tahir, the hoick over mid-wicket for
the only six of the innings, the pull, and the steer through the vacant slip
cordon. Tamim, while being a spectator to all these, brought up his own fifty,
off 70 balls, with a single.
As the result became a
foregone conclusion, Tamim did his best to get Soumya on strike in search of a
century, but Soumya brought about his own downfall, chipping Tahir to short
cover. Tamim, though, was on hand, along with Litton Das, to usher Bangladesh
home and into the history books to conclude a limited-overs' season to remember
for a cricketing nation on the rise.
