I was sad to see that Sangakkara confirmed his decision to retire from Test cricket this summer. He won't play in the final Test of the Pakistan series in Pallekele but will play the first two Test matches against India in August.
I was hoping that he would reconsider his retirement. He has long been one of my favourite batsman to watch and is still playing at an extremely high level, averaging 50.75 over the last 12 months in Tests and 64.96 over the last 2 years.
I would love to see Sanga notch one more double-ton to match Don Bradman's total of 12.

Quote:Though 37 years of age, Kumar Sangakkara has recently been in the form of his life. In 2014, he played Tests against Pakistan, England, South Africa, Bangladesh and New Zealand to hit 1438 runs at an average of 71.90. In the 12 months, he hit more international runs, across formats, than have ever been struck in a calendar year. In March, he became the first batsman to hit four ODI centuries on the trot, at the World Cup.
I would love to see Sanga notch one more double-ton to match Don Bradman's total of 12.
