Tourists toil in vain
COLOMBO. Aug 5 Sanath Jaya suriya joined a select band of cricketers to score .i triple century with an unbeaten inning' ul 326 on the fourth day oi the first cricket Test against India at the Premadasa
Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, report agencies.
The 26-year-old left hander, who rose to stardom as the Most Valuable Player during the
1996 World Cup which Sri Lanka won. achieved the rare feat during a stay at the crease lasting more than 13 hours over two days.
Fire crackers exploded outside the ground when Jayasuriya ana Roshan Mahanama walked back to the pavilion.
I honestly did not think of any records while batting. The wicket was good and I thought if 1 could stay out there the runs would come." said Jaya* suriya.
Jayasuriya's marathon effort also helped Sri Lanka establish a new partnership record for any wicket in Test cricket as the opener along with one-drop batsman Roshan Mahanama produced an unbroken stand that realised 548 runs. Mahanama was unbeaten on 211 as the home team ended the day at 587 for one.
When the new record partnership was created, Jayasuriya and Mahanama had kept company for 10 hours and 35 minutes spanning 154 overs.
The two batsmen, who play for the same team in Sri Lanka's domestic scene, made batting look so easy on a lifeless pitch which has so far proved to be a bowler's nightmare. Jayasuriya's innings had as many as 33 boundaries and two sixes off 568 balls in 782 minutes of batting while Mahanama stroked 25 fours, faced 541 deliveries in an occupation of 740 minutes.
Only once did Jayasuriya encounter a troubled moment when he survived a loud appeal for a leg-before decision on the
back foot against a ball from off-spinner Rajesh Chauhan with his score on 265.
Jayasuriya is only eight runs away from becoming the highest run-getter in an innings against India, an honour currently held by England's Graham Gooch in a Test at Lords in 1990-91 which stands at 333.
Like his partner. Mahanama too agreed that his intention too was to stay and get as many runs on the docile pitch. "I only wanted to fit into my role as a new one-drop batsman and give my team the best in that position." he said.
"The wicket offered plenty of runs." said Mahanama whose 211 not out is his best ever.
