Srilanka beats New Zealand by 96 runs in the second test [Sunday, August 30, 2009]
The second cricket test saw Daniel Vettori's 140 runs going in vain as Srilanka bet New Zealand by 96 runs. Rangana Herath, spinner, took five wickets as New Zealand was bowled out for 397 runs.“I think the key for us was to show a bit of fight, probably put up a performance that is related to our skill,”“Today to score 400 in the fourth innings is pleasing but still disappointing. ... If we hadn’t lost Jacob just before lunch it would have been an interesting next couple of sessions.” Vettori said after the match.
