Vaas misses a rare double by 2 runs.

When Vaas got out driving Harbhajan straight to Virendar Sehwag at covers, he missed out on a rare double by 2 runs. If he had scored the 2 runs he would have completed a deserved double of scoring 3000 runs and 300 wickets.

His aggregate now stands at 2998 runs and 347 wickets in 107 Tests.

Fantastic player for his team and an adornment to world cricket, Vassy has always been a quiet achiever.

Yes Soulberry, he is a quiet achiever and in these brash times that is refreshing.

A truly great underrated srilankan legend... i only wish he retires now and give way to maharoof. But oh no! not for a few years! a sub-continental mentality.

haha scorpi what a dig, thot it'll come from ott instead.

seeing some of his lower order batting he might keep srt company for a few series - getn to their respective records on a steam engine. 2 runs, how many series? Of course, he can be always promoted.

Scorpi,

Vaas is remarkably fit. Don't remember him missing many games due to injury.

NC,

The second innings will give him an opportunity.
