Pair on Debut & 213 in next: Adventurous Chamara Silva 152* take the game away from New Zealand 2006

Dashing Sri Lankan Batsman Chamara Silva turned up and turned up brilliantly for the 2nd Test vs New Zealand in Wellington after his dismal performance in Christchurch where he bagged a pair. Chamara Silva was edgy to start in both the innings and grew in confidence as he proceeded. Silva had no fear playing Vettori inside out in a track both him and Muttiah Muralitharan prospered. Chamara Silva remained unbeaten on 152 and Sri Lanka set New Zealand unsailable 500+ target. The knock remained Chamara Silva's only test hundred, unfortunately.
