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.

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
Muttiah Muralitharan moved level with Shane Warne on 708 wickets as he bowled Sri Lanka back into the first Test at Kandy. He claimed the first four England batsmen to fall on the second day as they lost 5 for 78 and drew level with Warne when he removed Ravi Bopara. But he was forced to wait for his crowning moment as rain, which had threatened during the morning, moved across the ground and wiped out the final three hours of play.

In the build-up to this Test, playing in Sri Lanka has been described as one of the game's toughest challenges and England responded with an outstanding bowling performance on the opening day at Kandy. Matthew Hoggard took four wickets in 25 balls during the morning session as Sri Lanka hit the depths of 42 for 5, then Monty Panesar chipped in with three after a partial resurrection from Kumar Sangakkara and Prasanna Jayawardene who added 106 for the sixth wicket to lift them to 188. But England couldn't finish with their full card intact after facing 17 overs. Alastair Cook went third ball, planting his front foot across the line to Chaminda Vaas, using his 100 Tests worth of experience with the new ball as Hoggard did so successfully. Michael Vaughan could have gone, too, but Asad Rauf gave him the benefit of very little doubt against Lasith Malinga. There were three overs from Muttiah Muralitharan; that's a battle that will unfold on Sunday. (Description courtesy Cricinfo) www.hilalscricket.com
Fantastic bolwing performance by Malinga..as Micheal Holding said "WOW"
Aravinda De Silva, considered to be the prince of sri lankan cricket shows his class to the english cricket fans on Sri Lanka's tour of england 1998. Sri Lanka upto that point was rarely invited to play test circket in england and were only given 1 test match. The sri lankan destroyed england with their batting and bowling.

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.
The game where the South Africans buggered up the Duckworth/Lewis system and gave Boucher the wrong numbers, which ended seeing them knocked out of the World Cup. For more videos check out www.cougarcricket.net
