I was lucky to witness the 3rd Test between Sri Lanka and Bangaladesh at Asgiriya grounds, on the fourth day, where bangaladeshi's were white washed clean by the Sri Lankan team.
When the match started on Wednesday, I was hoping atleast the rain would hold the match longer until the 4th day which is a Saturday, so that I could catch a glimpse of my favourite cricketers from my home town. The rain god came to my rescue, only abt half of the overs were played during the first day and even the third day I guess.
On saturday morning, I just watched a few overs from TV and thought the Bangaladeshis are gonna hold on to their innings for some time at least this time. Shahriar Nafees was goin well and he looked pretty ok in getting the bat to hit the ball, u know, unlike javed omar on the other end who seemed to be completedly bamboozeled by Lasith Malinga's Bowling. I went to town to attend to some other bunesses and in abt two hours looked at the score on my mobile and it was 6 wickets down all of a sudden. Oh man.. here they go again.. being slumped once again for the third time in 3 matches. I ran to the asgiriya ground in a few minutes, just in time to catch the fall of the last four wickets. Wow, it was so nice to see some live action after a long while. It was great since the whole thing was shown on Big Screen as well. That was a new experience for me.
I took some pics of the match using my k800i. On top is a panoramic view of the ground, while lasith malinga was on fire on the right side of the screen.
Murali passed his milestone of 700 test wickets in the match too. That is a real achievement and he is just 8 wickets behind shane warne.
