Lanka breaks 59-yr-old Test total record
COLOMBO Aug 6: Sri Lanka scored the highest total in Test cricket, and Sanath Jayasuriya took the honours for making the top individual score against India on the final day of the first cricket Test which ended in a draw in Colombo on Wednesday, reports AP.
Sri Lanka ended the last day's play at 952 for 6. a new Test innings record that surpassed a previous best of 903 for 7 made by England against Australia at the Oval in 1938. The new mark was created in 271 overs in three days.
Continuing from an overnight 326 with Sri Lanka on 587 for one. Jayasuriya made 340 to became the highest run-getter against India when he went past a previous best 333 made by England's Graham Gooch at Lords.
But the 28-year-old lefthander fell Just 35 runs short of Brian Lara's world record of .375.
Jayasuriya's marathon innings ended in. the first ball of the rooming's fourth over when silly point Saurav Ganguly held on to a simple catch off spinner Rajesh Chauhan.
Pandemonium prevailed outside the venue just before and after the start of play as police battled restless spectators. Organisers, hoping that Jayasuriya would achieve greater heights, decided to abolish tickets for the final day.
But when Jayasuriya departed. so did many of the spectators whose presence in large numbers, seen for the first time in the match, may have distracted the batsman.
Jayasuriya’s concentration was not the same as on the previous two days when he raced from an overnight 326 to 340 with the help of three fours in lust 10 balls. But Jayasuriya bowed out after booking a place in a select band of 13 other players who have made three hundred plus in Test innings
His dismissal came soon after his overnight partner Roshan Mahanama was trapped leg-before to Anil Kumble for 225 with the total at 615. The stand between the two was worth 576. a new Test record for any wicket and falling short of beating a First Class feat achieved by Vijay Hazare and Gul Mohammed for Baroda against Holkar in a Ranji Trophy match in India.
Mahanama spiced his innings with 28 fours during a stay of 753 minutes.
The separation of Jayasuriya and Mahanama however did not bring any relief to the tired Indians as Aravlnda de Silva with his 12th Test century (126). Arjuna Ranatunga with 86 and debutant Mahela Jaya wardena with 66 kept pounding the bowlers
