This Sri Lankan side was amazing. There were some really aggressive and technically sound batsmen. There were pacers like Vaas and Zoysa while spinners like Upul Chandana and Murali. And they had some handy allrounders like Jayasuriya and Russell Arnold. Edit : Forgot to mention their exceptionally good fielding and the fast hands of Kaluwitharana behind the stumps.
