History is made for the second time in Kandyland
SANGAKARRA is the first batsman in test history to score 150 in 4 consecutive test matches
Others on 3
HAMMOND
BRADMAN
ABBAS
NAZAR

Just before the 150 was a beezare incident
The players were all lying on the ground to avoid a bee swarm !
I wonder if the 'B' grade attack attracted them !

At the time of posting Sanga has 918 runs @ 230 ave in 2007

What a player

Spot on Mal this bloke is a little beauty and his 'keeping ain't bad either in fact it is very good.

I rate Kumar very highly, far higher than Pietersen....

A dog stopped play earlier on; perhaps it was a dog that shoots bees?

What a player.

As i said on countless other threads, one of my favourite players in world cricket. Was a terrific innings, the only century for the test so far. played some wonderful shots. Was dropped on 98 by Belll. Dead set sitter.

On a side note, has now scored a century against every test playing nation i believe. Only the 9th to do it (I think)

Correct.

Ponting and Hayden may have also done it?

I am guessing Lara has too...

Ponting
Steve Waugh
Gilchrist
Attapatu

Those are the ones I can remember. They showed the list last night during the coverage.

I seem to want to throw out Gary Kirsten's name, but I don't think he played against the Banglas.

Think Ricky can throw away the number 1 ranking for this year, this guy is in such rare form and looks batting look too easy, think there is alot more runs to come off his bat before this summers through

Ponting - yes
Hayden - no
Lara - yes
Gilchrist - yes
Attapatu - yes
Kirsten - yes

So far we have:

1. Steve Waugh
2. Ricky Ponting
3. Adam Gilchrist
4. Brian Lara
5. Gary Kirsten
6. Marvin Attapatu
7. Kumar Sangakarra
8. ??
9. ??

Two to go.........

Tendaulker at a guess and perhaps Dravid but really got no idea

He has scored hundreds against every test playing nation away from home.

Form is temporary, class is permanent.
