Wow! I totally missed this series at that time. Wonder how that happened! Vaas-Murali-Herath/Chandana-Zoysa (for a very short time) were actually a more than formidable bowling attack. Looks like Langer and Sanath were having a woeful run of form. Too bad that rain ruined the 2nd and 3rd tests. 2-0 or even 2-1 in the hosts' favour would have done justice to the high quality of game both sides brought into this series.
Unbelievable again from Rob - superb footage. First time I've seen the Waugh/Gillespie collision(ouch), and the rest really bringing back some memories reading about this series in The Cricketer magazine. Herath must be the last one in this game still playing today.
@@sugs1191 that's what he meant. He had to specify bowler friendly conditions coz SL batsmen are flat track bullies in most cases, including Sangakkara and Jayawardene, as proven by the fact that majority of Sangakkara's highest scores against RSA and AUS came after the retirements of the likes of Warne, McGrath, Donald and Pollock.
@robelinda2 Neutral umpires, neutral commentators and neutral pitch curators is the way forward for test cricket. I'd prefer Swiss pitch curators for Ashes fixtures in particular.
In a Series where Ball dominated Bat, Aravinda and Pointing showed why they were World Class Players
Beautiful days when we all decided to become cricketer..
Ranga's Doosra though at 6:39. Beautyyy. Can't believe he debuted back then and is still taking ten-for's in tests vs Australia
SL, 2 tests were washed out, SL won the 1st test.

Imrankniazi Langer, Sanath are average test players. They failed against quality bowling attacks or pitches which assisted Bowling.
Sri lanka win first test series vs australia 1-0 win 2matches was drawn
It's all the rains fault.
The gods above don't really like the poor little kangaroos.
Wonder why
That wrong’un to Fleming!!! Absolutely brilliant!!
Manas Ralli you better correct the commentator who said it was then. “ a beautifully disguised wrong’un “.
@Manas Ralli it was , you idiot

1:26 - the Waugh/Gillespie collision
As good as Mark Waugh was against spin and subcontinent in general he flopped royally in SriLanka. Every single time!
Srilanka greatest Test Match Winner was De Silva. Also he's the best batsman in bowler friendly conditions for Sri Lanka
Bowler friendly conditions? He could bat on any pitch fgs.

@@Timberwolf1992So did Aravinda. He was miserable against those bowlers in bowler friendly conditions. In fact, Sangakkara performed better.
*takes a bow*
Such a balanced team we had that time both bowling and betting.
Shitty ponting..fucking waiting for the desicion..
6:39 decent carrom ball...
ROB your such a boss!
the stump microphones are heaps loud in this video? reckon you can find some mad sledging somewhere in the original rob?
I heard some swearing picked up on the stump mics in the 3rd test.
Awesome test cricket...Purity...! Thnx a ton!
Ian Healy's last test series
This series is mostly remember for unfortunate incident at 1:32
@TheGarr123 THANKS MATE!!!!
Where do i find SL vs WI series in 2002 i believe where Lara dominated the entire series that happened in SL.
rangana and murali in one team is like a nightmare for other teams. sadly that didn't happen often
Blewett got SHAT on by Murali at 5:39
@ayushcena u? were you going to abuse me?
hahaha......see a lot of sledging was going on then
Wow the Aussies got some very horrible decisions against them.
Rain won the 3 match series 2-0. Sri Lanka won the one off test 1-0.😂

the Famous whitewash of 2003...3-0 to Australia...do you have that..I remember it was the battle of the titans - shane vs murali
Annnnd we witewashed aus 3-0
6:17, not sure if ponting or broad...
@robelinda2 !!! What is this I don't even.
SL had first innings leads in each game but went on to lose all three!
That was the different series. The next tour Australia made to Sri Lanka.
hey Rob who won the series
Sri Lanka.
10:19 Fuckin Outstanding x)
Man of the series and the only reason Sri Lanka won: the rain.
Worst weather condition among test nations : Srilanka.
It's rain and luck that help Srilanka to win. Rain is the ultimate winner.
No Sri Lanka had Aravinda De Silva.
