MATCH DRAWN.

Man of the Match : Allan Border.

Australia wins the series 1-0.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Notes:

This was Australia's first series win on the "sub-continent" since 1969.

Mark Waugh "scored" his fourth consecutive duck in Australia's second innings.
Border's century in the first innings was his first since September 1988,
in Pakistan.
Greg Matthews scored his fifth consecutive test half century by making 96 in
the second innings. He made more runs in the test series than any other
Australian batsman.

More than nine hours of play was lost during the match due to rain.

Hashan Mahanama replaced Romesh Kaluwitharane as wicket keeper for this test.
Although Kaluwitharane scored a century on debut in the first test, his keeping
had been poor throughout the first two tests.

An interesting statistic from the series was that the average partnership
between Australia's top 5 batsmen was 25, while the average partnership between
their bottom five "batsmen" was 46!

I hope everyone has enjoyed the scorecards from this test series which I have
posted. It's been a pleasure :-)
