A Note From S. SKANDAKUMAR in the hills of Uva, March 2025
Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene scored 624 runs in partnership for the third wicket for Sri Lanka vs South Africa at the SSC grounds in 2006. This remains a world record for any wicket. Harry Solomons in Sydney, being Harry, marked this great feat by sending a pictorial MOMENTO to a former ambassador in Australia who was also a cricketer and a cricket commentator, namely, Somachandra Skandakumar.
