Chamara Silva Bagging a pair wasn’t the way to go

He made his ODI debut as a 19 year old in 1999, but it was in 2006 that he made his Test debut, against New Zealand in Christchurch, after convincing the selectors with strong performances in the domestic circuit. Bagging a pair wasn’t the way to go – Franklin and Shane Bond dismissing him before he could get off the mark – but he was given leeway and in the second Test he scored a 61 and an unbeaten 152. In 11 Tests, the last of which was in 2008, he scored 537 runs at an average of 33.56.
