Anyone remember this from 2011 SL series?

Mathews slowed down to allow a century to Chandimal at Lord's when it was certain that SL going to win , Chandimal got the century and SL won easily in the end .

This is what frustrated Cook had to say about that.

"They're perfectly entitled to do it if they want," he said. "But you never know, the cricketing Gods might look down at that in a bit of disgust."

I was at that game. It was a bit of a farce. Still, in 100 years no one will remember these games but Dinesh Chandimal and Gary Ballances names will be up there forever.
