Match Coverage

All Match News

Sri Lanka take the stats honours

Sri Lanka scored more runs, lost fewer wickets, and made India sweat through most of the three matches

Close series between rivals with bare cupboards

It is a credit to both teams that despite the overkill of cricket between the two nations, despite the dead pitch at the SSC, despite the lack of bowling resources, they played out two tense Test matches

A batsman of imagery and imagination

When Laxman takes the stage in his moment, he can conjure up the illusion that the crisis is not being tackled, it is being ignored

Consistent Randiv earns his respect

It was tough to not spare a thought for Randiv, who bowled skilfully and didn't dish out too many freebies despite his inexperience at the highest level

Painful but satisfying - Laxman

VVS Laxman has said his century was a very important innings and that he has learnt to ignore the critics who question his place in the side
