Chandan Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Sri Lanka has never defeated Australia in any Test match neither @ home nor overseas http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ausvsl/content/story/313500.html That is completely wrong because I remember SL defeating Australia in '99 when Waugh and Gillespie collided in the field in an attempt to take a catch and former broke his nose while latter his knee. This is what cricinfo has written: The new World Cup champions Australia were in for a rude and painful shock in the first Test in Kandy. Chaminda Vaas and Nuwan Zoysa inflicted early damage on the visitors, reducing them to 60 for 7 in the first morning and Ricky Ponting's defiant 96 could only lift his side to a modest 188. To add injury to insult, Steve Waugh and Jason Gillespie were involved in a bloody collision at the boundary, leaving Australia two men short for the rest of the match. Australia folded for a paltry 140 in the second innings, leaving Sri Lanka 95 for victory. Their six-wicket win was historic, for it was their first ever against Australia and rain in the next two Tests halted Australia's comeback bid. Link to comment
apocalypse Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Read this part The most incredible feature in the 2003-04 series was that Australia managed to overcome first-innings deficits in all three Tests and complete another series whitewash, this time away from home. Link to comment
