Sorry, didnt know.

Andy ,

You did not know that Sanga was a Minnows Bully?  :-[

No, i know he is a minnow bully who cant bat outside Asia.

I've been on two other cricket forums, and this is how Sangakkara discussions always go.

Sangas has 6 centuries outside of Asia only, 1 vs Australia, 1 vs England, 2 vs NZ, 1 vs South Africa and 1 vs a super minnow Zimbabwe team. The Australia game had one decent bowler, the aging Brett Lee. The SA and England games had stronger bowling attacks, with Sangas scoring at a strike rate of 40 to 50.

Sangas greatest innings are probably in ODI actually. He has about 3 ODI innings where he cuts loose like a madman against big bowling.

Gotcha ....just read this !  8)

I am of the opinion that batters need to posses a certain set of skills to be able to perform against the fast bowlers. Like, they need to have a cool temperament and should not get carried away when the bowler tries to intimidate him. They should also have a well-developed front foot and back foot game. They should be apt at playing shots with a straight bat and have good front foot movement when the ball is swinging.

Most importantly is keeping Eyes on the ball :

knowing when to leave.

when to shoulder arms.

when to play on the back foot

when to flash outside off .

pahag ,

I have Colored this Pitch for you :

It really helped me be a better Bat 

It appears that PURPLE spot " leave " is today's batsman " nemesis "... :-[
