"England were defeated not only by Sri Lanka. They were beaten by a plan of attack beyond their imaginations, and never dreamt about in their own "play-the-percentages" philosophy. As Mike Atherton conceded afterwards, Sri Lanka have suddenly be- come the foremost exponents of a new approach to one-day cricket, one which turns the conventional English version on its head. Their batsmen opt for vertical take-off in the first 15 overs, not the last 15, and only then do they throttle back. It seems to be a spectacular way to fly."

Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara recorded a world record 624-run test cricket partnership on Saturday as Sri Lanka took an imposing ... all » 587-run first innings lead in the series-opening match against South Africa. Sri Lanka declared its innings at 756 for five wickets shortly after tea when captain Jayawardene missed out on his chase for the best individual score of 400 runs held by West Indies batsman Brian Lara. He was out for 374 runs bowled by seamer Andre Nel ending an innings that lasted for more than 12 hours.

Fantastic innings by the Sri Lankan captain.

For someone who had teething problems at the start, Sri Lankan batsman Chamara Silva is proving to be an almost unstoppable run-scoring machine at the World Cup. Silva scored 61 and 152 not out in only his second test to set up a series-levelling victory in New Zealand in December 2006. He then stroked a majestic 107 not out in the final one-dayer in India in February. Although India won to clinch the series 2-1, Silva's sparkling stroke play won him the man-of-the-match award.

30th Match, Super Eights: West Indies v Sri Lanka at Providence - Apr 1, 2007 Sri Lanka won by 113 runs. Sri Lanka 303/5 (50 ov); West Indies 190 (44.3 ov). West Indies lurched a step closer to leaving their own World Cup as Sanath Jayasuriya's 115 condemned them to a 113-run defeat in front of a rare full house in Guyana. He and Mahela Jayawardene added 183 and then early wickets buried West Indies' chase before it had barely begun, Jayasuriya adding three to his outstanding innings. After their heart-stopping defeat against South Africa, Sri Lanka's Super Eights campaign is back on track. From the moment Jayasuriya cut loose following a cautious start it was all one-way traffic. West Indies' fielding turned into shambles with dropped chances and fumbles as their World Cup dreams were left hanging by a thread. Even three straight wins - an unlikely prospect on current form and attitude - might not be enough unless other results go their way.

SL lost, but played well

Sri Lanka's express fast bowler Lasith Malinga rocked the 2007 World Cup by claiming four wickets in four successive deliveries (including a hat-trick) but could not prevent South Africa from squeezing a tense 1 wicket victory in the Super Eight match at Guyana On Wednesday. Malinga became the fifth bowler in World Cup history to claim a hat-trick. Malinga's deadly blow in the 45th over picked Shaun Pollock, whom he bowled for 13 and then followed it up by inducing a catch off Andrew Hall to Upul Tharanga to reduce the Proteas to 205 for 7. He then returned next over to claim the set Jacques Kallis caught behind for 86 and followed up next with a deadly yorker to remove Makhaya Ntini for naught. His feat is unprecedented in ODI history for becoming the only bowler to claim four wickets in four balls, including a hat-trick.

20th Match, Group B: India v Sri Lanka at Port of Spain - Mar 23, 2007 Sri Lanka won by 69 runs Sri Lanka 254/6 (50 ov); India 185 (43.3 ov). Inspired by a genius who raised his game when the occasion demanded, Sri Lanka overpowered India in their final league match at Port-of-Spain and stormed into the Super Eights. India suffered one of their most disappointing days in recent memory, muffing up a run-chase on a pitch posing no worries, and were all but ousted from the World Cup, in what is likely to be their worst campaign since 1979.
