Four months after a deadly terror attack on the Sri Lankan team in Pakistan, the two nations
will renew their test cricket rivalry when the first test starts at Galle on Saturday.
Their last meeting in a test grabbed world headlines for a bloody ambush outside Gadaffi
Stadium that killed six police officers and a driver and wounded seven Sri Lankan
cricketers. The Sri Lanka team bus was approaching the ground for the third day's play of
the second test when more than a dozen heavily armed men ambushed the vehicle.
The incident forced the visiting team to return to Colombo immediately and the match was
abandoned.
Sri Lankan batsman Thilan Samaraweera's rare feat of scoring two consecutive
double-hundreds was a highlight of the series along with Younis Khan's triple-hundred for
Pakistan in the first test.
