Kumar Sangakkara 92 Vs England | 1st Test | Day 1| Kandy 2007
http://www.hilalscricket.com/ THE VALUE of Kumar Sangakkara’s innings of 92 yesterday may only become clear as this Test match progresses, but he may have just kept his team’s hopes alive. Sangakkara is currently among the world’s best batsmen. He has just returned from Australia, where he played a blistering innings of 192 in Hobart that might, with more luck, have stolen victory from under the noses of Ricky Ponting’s men. He was given out to a shocking decision for which umpire Rudi Koertzen later apologised to him in person. It takes something extraordinary to lever Sangakkara from the crease these days. Had he scored eight more runs yesterday, Sangakkara would have recorded a seventh century in eight Tests and he isn’t often content with merely reaching three figures. Last year he scored 287 against South Africa and an unbeaten 156 against New Zealand. Earlier this year he took back-to-back double-centuries off Bangladesh. Description courtesy - Times Online

The most prolific pair in Test Cricket | Sangakkara - Jayawardene
Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene celebrated their 50th stand together with a mammoth third-wicket partnership of 311, which is, quite amazingly, less than half their highest stand - an unforgettable 624 against South Africa at the SSC Stadium in Colombo last year. The 311 they added is also the second-highest partnership at Kandy, after the 335 that Marvan Atapattu and Sanath Jayasuriya added against Pakistan in 2000. Among all the pair who have played at least 50 times together, Sangakkara and Jayawardene have now become the most prolific in terms of averages, edging past the Australian pair of Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting (which means that the Australia-Sri Lanka series later this year will be a battle of, among other things, the two best batting pairs in the game). http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/301893.html
Another fine Kumar Sangakkara knock brought to you by http://www.hilalscricket.com
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.
Muralitharan's one-man demolition effort provided England a deflating end to the summer and brought home the stark truth that spin bowling is becoming an acute embarrassment for them. The famine of home-bred slow bowling is one thing, but the hunger pangs are made even more acute when opponents are feasting themselves. England literally played into Muralitharan's hands when their batsmen refused to make use of their feet and preferred to play him from the crease which allowed Ranatunga to set attacking fields for his key spinner.
