Since his debut in 1992, Muralitharan has taken over 700 Test wickets and over 400 One-day International wickets, and was the first man to take 1,000 wickets in all international cricket. Currently his Test average is 21.73, which compares favourably with other contemporary spin bowlers like Shane Warne (25.41) and Anil Kumble (28.65). In 2002, Wisden carried out a statistical analysis of all Test matches in an attempt to rank the greatest cricketers in history, and Muralitharan was ranked as the number one bowler of all time Often referred to simply as Murali, is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is generally regarded as the greatest off-spin bowler in cricket history. However, Muralitharan's career has not been without controversy, with the legality of his bowling action being called into question; it has since been scientifically proven that his bowling action is legal.

One of the world's most uncompromising strikers of the ball, Jayasuriya found belated fame as a pinch-hitter at the 1996 World Cup, and then demonstrated that he was also capable of massive scoring in Tests, eventually becoming Sri Lanka's highest Test run-scorer. He remains dizzily dangerous, especially on the subcontinent's slower, less bouncy surfaces. Short in stature and powerfully built, he cuts and pulls with awesome power, and his brutal bat-wielding is at odds with his shy, gentle nature. Wised-up opponents have learned to set traps in the gully and at third man to stem the flow of runs, but on song he can be virtually unstoppable, capable of scoring freely on both sides of the wicket.

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.
