There are plenty of videos on the net featuring every other test nation apart from Sri Lanka. Videos of this exciting cricketing nation have never once been highlighted. These are some of my Sri Lankan cricket videos from my video archives. I have spent years buying old VHS tapes and other media sources from people all over the world. i have finally been able to display all this footage thanks to VEOH.
Munasinghe was given a brief run in the one-day side and, despite not earning further representative honours, he did not let the team down. Munasinghe had the ability to bowl a consistent line and length and thus maintained an impressive economy rate in his limited matches. A constant figure in representative sides, he played numerous matches against touring sides before being selected for the 1995-96 tour of Australia. His best performance came at the MCG when he ran through the Australian top order taking 3 for 30, in the process setting up victory for Sri Lanka. Following the conclusion of the World Series he was not selected for the 1996 World Cup and drifted from the international scene. - Cricinfo.

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.

http://www.hilalscricket.com/ Dealing in boundaries and steam rolling ahead it never looked like the Aussies could stop him. The second new ball hardly rattled him in fact all the Aussie quick men were being belted to all parts. Ricky Ponting the Australian skipper was cornered tactically by Sanga's aggression towards the new ball and Malinga's resilience. The ball was too new for Mcgill to cop yet another pasting so the only suitable bowling change would have been Symonds or another part timer. Sanga was looking beyond 200 and was surely planning to accelerate the scoring rate with Malinga getting his eye in and providing good support. It looked very much like only an outside influence and not the opposition that could dismiss him and some times in life the worst possible thing happens.
