COLOMBO: Leg spinner Shane Warne moved to within two wickets of Courtney Walsh’s world record of 519 as Australia completed a series whitewash with a 121-run victory over Sri Lanka in the third and final Test yesterday.
Warne, with figures of four for 92 in 33 overs, helped Australia dismiss Sri Lanka for 248 eight balls before the scheduled close on the fifth and final day. Sri Lanka had resumed in the morning on 18 without loss in pursuit of an improbable 370 to win.
