导出博客文章2 Number of times batsmen at No. 6 or lower have faced more balls in a Test
innings against Australia than Dinesh Chandimals 356 in his innings of 132. Faf
du Plessis had faced 376 balls in the Adelaide Test in 2012-13. The only other
instance came in the 1938 Ashes at the Oval when Joe Hardstaff (jnr) faced
exactly 400 balls in Englands first innings at the Oval.3 Number of centuries
Chandimal has hit at No. 6 when he has come in to bat with Sri Lanka four down
for less than 100 runs. Before this innings, he had hit 162 in Sri Lankas second
innings in Galle last year. He had joined Angelo Mathews at the crease with Sri
Lanka struggling at 92 for 4 facing a first-innings deficit of 192 runs. Before
that innings, he had made 102 against Bangladesh in 2012-13 with Sri Lanka
having lost four wickets on 69. Apart from these three hundreds, he has made two
fifties in such situations and has scored 635 runs at 79.37 in nine such
innings.2 Number of Test innings by Sri Lanka batsmen against Australia that
have been longer than Chandimals 356-ball effort. Asanka Gurusinha had faced 399
balls for his 137 at the SSC in 1992, and Aravinda de Silva had faced 361
deliveries in Sri Lankas first innings at the Gabba in 1989-90. Chandimals
478-minutes innings is also the third-longest in terms of minutes batted, after
Gurusinhas 525-minute and de Silvas 491-minute efforts in the aforementioned
matches.1 Number of sixth-wicket stands in Tests for Sri Lanka than have been
bigger than the 211-run partnership in this Test. Mahela Jayawardene and
Prasanna Jayawardene had added 351 in Ahmedabad in 2009-10. This was only the
third double-hundred stand for Sri Lankas sixth wicket in Tests. This is also
the second 200-plus run stand for Sri Lanka against Australia for any wicket.
Before this, Asanka Gurusinha and Arjuna Ranatunga had added 230 runs for the
fourth wicket in 1992 at the same venue.80 Innings taken by Steven Smith to hit
4000 Test runs - which is joint-third for least by an Australia batsman. Neil
Harvey had also taken 80 innings. Only Don Bradman (48 innings) and Matthew
Hayden (77 innings) have made 4000 Test runs faster than Smith. However, Smith
is the youngest Australia batsman to the milestone, at 27 years and 73 days,
shaving Ricky Pontings record by 265 days.1986 Last time a pair added more runs
for the sixth wicket in a Test against Australia. Ravi Shastri and Dilip
Vengsarkar had added an unbeaten 298 in Indias first innings of the Mumbai Test.
This was only the sixth 200-plus-run stand against Australia in Tests.2 Number
of 200-run stands for the sixth wicket in Tests in Sri Lanka before this.
Australias pair of Simon Katich and Justin Langer had added 218 runs at the same
venue in 2003-04. The only other such stand in Sri Lanka came in 1987 between
Jeff Crowe and Richard Hadlee, when the pair added an unbeaten 246 runs.1934
Only previous instance of No. 6 and No. 7 batsmen hitting hundreds in a Test
innings against Australia. Maurice Leyland and Les Ames had got hundreds at
Lords in the 1934 Ashes Test on that occasion. Dhananjaya de Silva and Dinesh
Chandimal are the first Sri Lanka No. 6 and No. 7 to get hundreds in the same
Test innings. This is also only the second time that two or more Sri Lanka
batsmen have got hundreds in a Test innings against Australia. Gurusinha,
Ranatunga and Romesh Kaluwitharana had got hundreds in Sri Lankas first innings
at the same venue in 1992.1 Number of instances of teams scoring a total higher
than Sri Lankas 355 after having lost their first five wicket for less than 50
runs. England had made 446 in their first innings of the Lords Test in 2010
against Pakistan after having been reduced to 47 for 5.0 Number of pacers who
had taken three five-wicket hauls in a Test series in Sri Lanka before Mitchell
Starc. Starcs five-wicket haul in the first innings of this match followed a
pair of five-wicket hauls in Galle. He has taken 22 wickets at an average of
13.27 in this series.1999 Last time, before Starc in this series, an Australia
pacer took three consecutive five-wicket hauls against the same opposition.
Glenn McGrath had done this against West Indies in three consecutive innings in
West Indies. Starcs is only the sixth such instance by an Australia fast bowler.
Overall, he is only the eighth Australia fast bowler to take three or more
consecutive five-fors in Tests.120 Runs added so far by the partnership between
Shaun Marsh and Smith - Australias first century stand of this series. This is
also the first time in 15 innings since 1999 that Australias top three have made
two or more fifty-plus scores in a Test innings in Sri Lanka. Greg Blewett and
Michael Slater had got fifties at the same venue on that occasion.

sub-par efforts, Jake Allen will be back in goal Wednesday night for the St.
Louis Blues in a key Central Division game against the Chicago Blackhawks.Allen
needed to play well in his last game on Sunday night against Colorado after
allowing a combined nine goals in regulation losses last week on the road
against the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars.Given a little more breathing room
when the offense snapped out of its scoring slump with five goals, Allen was
back to his old form, allowing only one goal -- off a deflection through traffic
-- in a 5-1 win over the Avalanche.Allen stopped 22 shots and helped keep the
Avalanche scoreless on six power-play opportunities, the kind of effort the
Blues expected when they made their number one goalie this year with the
offseason trade of Brian Elliott to Calgary and signed Allen to a four-year
contract extension.The win followed an overtime victory over Columbus on
Saturday night behind backup goalie Carter Hutton and gave the Blues consecutive
wins for the first time since they opened the season with a three-game winning
streak.To string together two wins was important for us not just for the points
but for the morale and momentum and confidence in this group, Allen said.Now the
Blues will be looking to build on that effort against the Blackhawks, who lead
the Central Division with three more points than the Blues.The Blues will make
one lineup change, with Petteri Lindbohm, recalled from Chicago of the American
Hockey League, replacing defenseman Joel Edmundson, who was played on injured
reserve on Monday because of an upper-body injury.ddddddddddddThe Blackhawks
also come into Wednesday nights game as one of the hottest teams in the league,
having won their last six games, including beating Dallas in overtime in their
most recent game on Sunday night.Part of their success can be attributed to
coach Joel Quennevilles decision to put his top two forwards, center Jonathan
Toews and right winger Patrick Kane, on the same line for the first time since
the 2009-2010 season.The Blackhawks have gone 6-0 since Toews and Kane were
reunited. Toews did not have a goal and just two assists in the teams first
seven games but has four goals and four assists during the winning streak. Kane
has scored three goals and added five assists since the pair began playing
together.If our line can set the tone, or create more, have more shifts in their
end, its going to be good for our team in the long run, Kane told the Chicago
Sun-Times. It could be a great thing for our team, and one of those things that
you didnt really expect to happen.Corey Crawford is expected to start in goal
for the Blackhawks. He has won his last three games, allowing a combined three
goals. ' ' '
