Ashantha de Mel 4/70 & 1/33 vs Eng 1982

Sri Lanka played their first ever Test against England in 1982. In this historical match Ashantha de Mel ripped the heart out of England’s Top-order, finishing with 4 for 70 & 1 for 33.

With the evidence of this video Sri Lanka had a much better production of cricket matches than India in the 80's!!

@@karthik.marx777 In terms of the ability to cover the games on TV, Sri Lanka is still doing pretty great, I don't think that there's any issue at all. But, the fact of the matter is that there's not much to cover these days given the quite pathetic state our current team is in due to various issues which are beyond the discussion here, so even the locals here are not much interested in watching them playing ....

[@indiaone9485]

I had read somewhere almost 10+ years ago that asanta de Mel is first Lankan to take 5 wickets in ODiWc ,is it so?? in that match Lanka captain did not notice this error by scorer before signing the score sheet & the feat not officially recognised...I have read so....I do not remember the date & author of that article ,,any one please clarify.
