Muralitharan amazes WI

AFP, Kandy
Muttiah Muralitharan spun the West Indians to their doom as Sri Lanka won the second cricket Test by 240 runs here on Monday to sweep the short series 2-0.
The off-spinner grabbed eight for 46 as the tourists, set a huge victory target of 375, folded up for 137 before tea on the fourth day at the Asgiriya Stadium.
Muralitharan's 14th haul of 10 wickets in a match -- he claimed 237 in the first innings -- gave him 17 wickets in what was his first series in 11 months due to a shoulder injury.
The 31-year-old now has 549 Test wickets from 93 matches, second only to Australian Shane Warne, who took his tally to 589 from 124 games after Sunday's first Test against England at Lord's.
The West Indies, missing 10 top stars including the world's leading batsman Brian Lara following a sponsorship dispute at home, had no clue how to play spin on the wearing wicket.
Their only hope was the inclement weather that had interrupted play on the last three days, but the rains kept away despite the dark clouds to enable the Sri Lankans to post an emphatic win.
Earlier, Kumar Sangakkara remained unbeaten on 157 as Sri Lanka declared their second innings at 375-7 midway through the morning session.
Muralitharan made up for the absence of left-arm seamer Chaminda Vaas, who has been ruled out of cricket for at least a week due to a hamstring strain.
Vaas, who had claimed 13 wickets in three previous innings in the series, was advised to rest ahead of the one-day tri-series against India and the West Indies starting later this week.
Team manager Michael Tissera said he may miss the opening match of the tri-series against India in Dambulla on Saturday, but will play in the later matches.
Lasith Malinga, opening the bowling in Vaas' absence, struck in his second over when he trapped Xavier Marshall leg-before for one.
The West Indies, who went to lunch on 24-1, were destroyed by Muralitharan after the resumption.
The wily bowler had Runako Morton leg-before for nine with the 'doosra' -- the off-spinner's ball that turns the other way -- to make it 38-2.
Rookie opener Ryan Ramdass (23) and Sylvester Joseph were dismissed off consecutive balls in identical fashion, caught by Mahela Jayawardena at silly point.
It was Muralitharan's spin partner, left-armer Rangana Herath,
who struck a vital blow when West Indian captain Shivnarine Chander-paul jabbed defensively to give Jayawardena his third catch.
Muralitharan returned to cleanbowl Narsingh Deonarine for 29 and then polished off the remaining four wickets in a breathtaking spell.
Earlier, Sri Lanka added 35 runs in nine overs to their overnight score of 340-7 before closing the innings.
Sangakkara's eighth Test century lasted 396 minutes during which he hit 23 boundaries.
Fast bowler Tino Best was ordered off the attack by New Zealand umpire Tony Hill for sending down a second beamer in the innings.
Best, who had bowled a beamer to Sangakkara on Sunday, sent down a chest-high full toss to Herath which the batsman cut to the point fence for four.
Play began 45 minutes late due to heavy rain before the sun broke through briefly for the first time in two days.
Sri Lanka won the first Test in Colombo by six wickets.
