MATCH DRAWN.

Man of the Match: Dean Jones.

Australia leads Test series 1-0.

______________________________________________________________________________

Notes:
	Australia declared at lunch setting Sri Lanka 286 off a minimum
of 62 overs. Surprisingly, after a good start, the Sri Lankans never
went after the victory target, preferring to bat out the draw. Stumps
were drawn a half hour early.

	Jones saw Australia from a potentially disastrous 4/104 to a
position of strength, sharing a 131 run stand for the sixth wicket with
Greg Matthews. Both Jones and Matthews have scored 50+ in three out of
their four test innings on the tour so far, with Jones having already
made 244 runs at 81.33. It was Jones' eleventh test century.

	Jones made the Sri Lankans pay dearly for poor catching and
wicket keeping - he was missed at nought and one in the first innings,
making 77, and then missed at nought, 40, and 69 in the second to make
an unbeaten hundred. Mark Waugh on the other hand was not so lucky -
completing his first "pair" in test cricket. Ironically Jones and Waugh
are rooming together on this tour.

	An interesting statistic for the match was the seven Australian
batsmen given out LBW to the Sri Lankans one. In the test series so far,
13 Australians have been dismissed LBW to the Sri Lankans three.
As Dean Jones said on the radio last night when asked about this, "All
I'll say is that the umpires must think we don't bowl straight."

I have seen quite a few of the LBW decisions on television, and must say
some in particular looked very, very doubtful. We also saw on TV the
dismissal of Tom Moody in the second innings - I can honestly say I
have never seen a ball turn so much! Moody stuck out his front pad to
let what looked to be a very wide ball go, only to see it spin back
sharply and take the middle and off stumps! It seems the pitch was
turning "square" on the last one and a half days of the match. Jones
countered this by lofting many balls over the top, including a few
sixes.

The second one day international is played tonight (Thursday), while the
third is to be played on Saturday. The Third and final test will start
next Tuesday at Moratuwa.

There you go Murali, hope rsc readers find it interesting.

I'll send you in a minute a very interesting Botham story which was just
reported in our newspaper today.
