Angelo Mathews Begs Record-Breaking Kumar Sangakkara Not to Retire

[velu]

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews said Wednesday that he has gone down on his knees to beg record-breaking batsman Kumar Sangakkara not to quit after the World Cup. Sangakkara, 37, will call time on his ODI career at the end of the tournament but he is still in a rich vein of form -- on Wednesday he became the first batsman to score four consecutive one-day centuries as Sri Lanka thrashed Scotland by 148 runs. The left-hander hit 124 off 95 balls and 38-year-old Tillakaratne Dilshan made 104 as the Islanders piled up 363 for nine and then bowled Scotland out for 215 in the Pool A match at the Bellerive Oval. Sangakkara had also made 105 not out against Bangladesh, an unbeaten 117 against England and 104 against Australia. (Be Afraid of Sanga, Warns Murali) He is also the leading scorer in the ongoing tournament with 496 runs from six games.
