When Sri Lanka batted more than 3 days and scored 952 for 6

Isn't it the most bizzare thing to happen in test cricket in 90s.
Sri lanka could have declared when they overhauled Indian score and Jayasuriya got out without breaking Lara's record , however everyone batted even after that till the end of day 5 and score some 100s and 50s

Remember a lot of people including former cricketers going bonkers over the pitch after that match.

Ah those were the days! In those days, Jayasurya was running a freak show...For a couple of years around the 1996 WC, there was no batsman who came even remotely close to the powerhouse Jayasurya had become. ODI or tests, he was belting fast bowlers around the park like no one had ever done that before and no one after until Sehwag came. What a player Jayasurya was!

Ganguly was the leading Wicket taker in that inning.

When India has a gun bowling attack.

What a FTB Jayasuriya was!

After the game Sachin said it was a very bad toss to win and bat first.

Kuruvilla, the smart operator. Only bowled 14 overs in the heat out of 271

Why didn't SRL try for 1000 runs ?
