:agree: It has become flat only recently. R. Premadasa during day time was known to be the flattest surface in Sri Lanka before they relaid the pitch recently. But it wasn't a regular test venue. That match 624 partnership happened was won by Sri Lanka by an innings. IIRC match ended in the middle of the 2nd session of the final day. South Africa were bowled out on the 1st day for 160 odd. That was at Premadasa, not a regular test venue. It'll be interesting to see bowling stats of Murali and Vaasy at SSC against the top 8 teams :hmmm:

Last I checked, both are in Colombo ... The flattest City of the World then. I guess people there are serious in trying to prove the early men correct in proving that Earth is flat.

Last I checked' date=' both are in Colombo ... The flattest City of the World then.

I've seen enough cricket to know what's the flattest country (forget about one city) when it comes to cricket grounds :P Also if u can beat a team of SA's caliber by an innings even before the final session of the match, there is no point in whining about a big partnership in that match. It was the greatest ever single performance in the history of cricket But agree 900+ record was against a mediocre bowling attack :giggle:
