And on his best form, just an eyebrow. Going to be hard times again, especially with Sangakarra likely to follow.

Yeah great player and a very genial man.

The Lankans will have a massive hole to fill once Jaya, Sanga and Dilshan ride off into the sunset.

Yet another legend retires, it's been a regular occurrence the past year or two - just Sanga and Shiv left of that generation now then? The top ten all time runscorers list could be left untouched for quite a while after that.

We didn't really see the best of him over here either, but his record is so quality.

Let's hope he doesnt get stumped before retirement ...

After 266 innings, Shivnarine Chanderpaul was stumped for the very first time! Has anyone gone longer before finally being out stumped? asked Ashley Barnes from New Zealand
Shivnarine Chanderpaul's dismissal on the final day of the third Test against New Zealand in Bridgetown last week was indeed the first time he had been stumped in a Test, in his 266th innings. That is a record: Graeme Smith was not stumped until his 194th innings, in his 111th Test, against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi last October. Daniel Vettori (166th innings), Alec Stewart and Sanath Jayasuriya (both 156th) all went a long time before being stumped as well. Mahela Jayawardene may yet beat Chanderpaul's mark: he's had 244 Test innings so far, and hasn't been stumped yet.

Would probably take Ashley Giles's "Boringline" tactics to do it...
