+Sushreyo Misra His that heroic inning is still remembered by Sri Lankans. We still remember it.

+Mugunumulle Chandima I am glad to know that you do. But then, from what I saw here, the whole world should remember it! :)

Sushreyo Misra it's more an issue of media coverage. Back then international cricket coverage was harder to come by in neutral venues. Furthermore, legend and renown are often cemented if the game includes three of the major media powers in cricket, England, India & Australia. Scribes are required to record & embellish acts of heroism.

@@shanthalperera5216 Its never like that. This timeline, India was nowhere in dominance. Whole 90s was all about England, WI and Australia in Tests. Many great performances from Pakistan are forgotten. Kumble bowling with a broken Jaw in WI was never given International exposure either. India never dictated the terms in 90s

Wel I didn't know that and shows bit of bias from the fans and media alike ... little kalu quite funny though , The thing with Smith is that game was all but gone had he not batted though , I think SA missed out 1 or 2 overs of the day ( sorry not sure while I'm writing it ), to whereas in Ranatunga's draw was not an option and SL still has one more wicket in the bank after him . Hence SL won by 2 wickets

+Omer Ayaz Exactly,...Wasim stepped down as skipper for the final time after losing that famous test series in Australia....,except for the Coca Cola Cup at Sharjah in May 2000,Nov 1999 to Dec 2000 was hell for Pakistan...and that's saying a lot.because RIGHT before that,they were right up there with the Ozzies as the most formidable team both on pitch and on paper.

+sainandan anime - true and I think it all started when Wasim picked the wrong side for Brisbane, leaving Saqlain and Waqar and playing an aged Mushi and one day bowler Razzaq.

Omar Ayaz i think they all are fixing a match at that time

Go and watch his double centry in England
