Praveen Jayawickrama twirls into the chaos with six-for on Sri Lanka debut – ESPNcricinfo
Fourth-choice left-arm spinner makes record-breaking start to Test career
Praveen Jayawickrama is essentially Sri Lanka’s fourth-choice left-arm spinner. If Lasith Embuldeniya or Duvindu Tillakaratne had been fit, or if Prabath Jayasuriya had passed a fitness test, he would have struggled to find a place in the squad.

See, this is the Test…
