Sri Lanka 117 (Lyon 3-12, Hazlewood 3-21) and 353 (Mendis 176, Starc 4-84) beat Australia 203 (Voges 47, Herath 4-49, Sandakan 4-58) and 161 (Smith 55, Herath 5-54) by 106 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTonight, Sri Lanka are gonna party like its 1999. Rui Patricio Portugal Jersey . Specifically, like its September 11, 1999, the only other date on which they beat Australia in a Test. That victory came in Kandy with an XI full of Sri Lankan greats - Aravinda de Silva, Arjuna Ranatunga, Sanath Jayasuriya, Mahela Jayawardene, Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas. This win, up the road in Pallekele, is all the more remarkable for the dearth of such legends. Then again, it could be the making of some new ones.Kumar Sangakkara never played in a win over Australia, and the retirements of Sangakkara and Jayawardene seemed to mark the end of an era for Sri Lanka. And yet, from the depths of seventh on the Test rankings they have found a way to overcome the No.1 team in the world. Excitingly, new men played major roles. Kusal Mendis, in his seventh Test, turned the game with his jaw-dropping 176. Debutant Lakshan Sandakan claimed seven wickets with his left-arm wrist-spin.But there was one link to the previous win: Rangana Herath was there in Kandy in 1999, a 21-year-old sitting in the rooms, waiting for a Test debut that would come in the next match in Galle. Seventeen years later, a 300-wicket bowler whose hair is flecked with grey, Herath played a key role in securing this win. His nine wickets in the match including 5 for 54 in the second innings and, fittingly, he claimed the wicket that sealed the game.Steve OKeefe, who had stacked up more blocks than Legoland, leaned forward and tried to flick Herath through leg, only to be bowled for 4 from 98 deliveries. The Sri Lankans were jubilant. They had beaten not only Australia but the weather; the looming threat of bad light had hovered overhead as the afternoon wore on, as OKeefe and Peter Nevill compiled a partnership of incredible fight.Australias penultimate pair batted together for 178 balls for just four runs, a boundary scored by OKeefe, whose hamstring injury prevented him from running. There were so many dots the scorecard could have been diagnosed with chicken pox, but as they accumulated it was the Sri Lankans who began to feel sick. Would this opportunity slip away? In the end, it was Dhananjaya de Silva who broke the stand, when Nevill flashed outside off and was caught behind for 9 off 115 balls.Until then, everything had conspired against Sri Lanka. In the 79th over, OKeefe survived a huge shout for caught at bat-pad off de Silva; Richard Kettleborough turned the appeal down, but replays showed a thick inside edge. Sri Lanka, though, were out of reviews. Two overs later, the reviews were replenished, and soon OKeefe was given out lbw by Kettleborough. His own review, though, this time showed an inside edge, and he was reprieved.In the end, it didnt matter. Herath led Sri Lanka to victory, his threat ever-present, his mastery of flight, his persistent accuracy and subtle variations forcing intense concentration from Australia. The only occasions on which Australia looked vaguely comfortable in their chase of 268 were the times when Herath was being rested from the attack. And captain Angelo Mathews ensured that such times did not last very long.The eventual margin of 106 runs is all the more extraordinary when you consider the way this match began. Sri Lanka were skittled for 117 in the first innings and early in their second were 6 for 2, in real danger of a humiliating innings defeat. They still needed 80 runs just to make Australia bat again. But Mendis walked to the crease and from then on, it was a different game. His hundred, only his second in first-class cricket, will go down as one of Sri Lankas greatest.And just as Mathews will join Jayasuriya as the only Sri Lanka captains to beat Australia in a Test, so Steven Smith will now sit alongside Steve Waugh as the only Australians to lead their side to defeat against Sri Lanka. Notably, this was also Australias first Test loss under Smiths captaincy, and their first for nearly a year, since England triumphed at Trent Bridge last August.Smith worked his backside off to prevent it, his 55 in the second innings the only example of an Australian passing fifty in this Test. It was a watchful innings that featured only one boundary, but he had precious little help. Sri Lankas spinners were relentless in applying pressure. In the end, that was enough. Sri Lanka had won a Test blighted by rain and bad light, a constant irritant exacerbated by Sri Lanka Crickets refusal to use the floodlights.The fifth morning began late due to rain and it started with Sri Lanka needing seven wickets and Australia requiring 185 runs. There was plenty of turn on offer for Sri Lankas spinners but that should be the case on the fifth day of a Test; this was far from a bad pitch, and the conditions could not be blamed for the low scores.It took only until the eighth over of the day for Sri Lanka to strike, when Adam Voges advanced to Herath and chipped back to the bowler on 12. Despite a muted reaction from the Sri Lankans, the third umpire was consulted and discovered that it had not in fact been a bump ball, as appeared to be the case live, and Voges was caught and bowled.Smith and Mitchell Marsh put on 43 for the fifth wicket, a partnership that might have given Australia some hope of gaining sight of the target, but Herath was again the man who broke the stand when he straightened one just enough to trap Marsh lbw for 25. Next over, Smith was given out caught behind off a Sandakan wrongun but confidently asked for a review, which found clear daylight between bat and ball.Another over later Smith was again given out, and this time his review was forlorn. He was almost off the ground in resignation when the verdict came through. Again, Herath from around the wicket had straightened one just enough to trap the batsman dead in front. The loss of Mitchell Starc for a duck in the next over - he chipped a return catch to Sandakan - left Australia hoping for afternoon rain or bad light to allow them to escape with a draw.The loss of Nathan Lyon soon after lunch, lbw to a big-turning wrist-spinner from Sandakan, seemed to put Sri Lanka on the brink. But then came the Nevill-OKeefe blockathon. Australias hopes were raised, only to be dashed again. Sri Lanka had their second win over Australia, and their first against any team in Pallekele. They can now dream of wrapping up the series in the second Test in Galle, where spin typically plays an even greater role.But that is for next week. For tonight, they celebrate a victory of great significance. Bruno Fernandes Portugal Jersey .

From Pierre LeBrun While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie.Zac Mitchell did it to the Winnipeg Goldeyes again. Saturday night in front of 5,484 at Shaw Park, Mitchell went three-for-four, scored a run and drove in five as the Gary SouthShore RailCats defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 11-6. A week ago in Gary, Ind., Mitchell hit two home runs, including a three-run, game-winning, walk-off blast in the bottom of the ninth as Gary came from 5-3 down to beat Winnipeg 6-5. Mitchell now has 12 RBI against the Goldeyes this season.“Weve made his (Mitchells) season,” said Forney. “Well have to change our game plan against him. Really, well have to do something different tomorrow to keep him off the bases.”With the loss, the Goldeyes snapped a three-game winning streak and fell to 24-22 on the season. Winnipeg will remain in second place in the American Associations North Division, but did fall 3 1/2 games behind Gary in the Wild Card race.“We just didnt have any pitching,” Forney said. “It really wasnt very good today. It wasnt very efficient. And the game was sloppy. Offensively, I thought we had another good night tonight, but when you dont get first pitch strikes, it opens up a can of worms.”Interestingly, the Goldeyes drew first blood, as Ray Sadler hit a monster home run to give Winnipeg a 1-0 lead in the first. Gary scratched out two runs in the second on a hit batsman, a walk, a sacrifice bunnt and a two-run single by Mitchell. Cedric Soares Portugal Jersey. Winnipeg got a run back in the bottom of the second to tie the game at 2-2, but Gary took a 3-2 lead in the top of the third with a two-out single, a stolen base and another single. The RailCats put up three in the top of the sixth, but Winnipeg answered with three of their own in the bottom of the inning, as Casey Haerther doubled and Fehlandt Lentini doubled him home. Lentini stole third and came home on a ground out by Ryan Scoma and then Luis Alen hit a solo homer, his first home run of the year. That made the score 6-5, but in the top of the eighth, Mitchell drove in three more runs, the RailCats sent 10-men to the plate and put up a five spot. That buried Winnipeg and gave Gary the first game of this four-game series. Gary starter Bill Spottiswood (2-0, 4.84 ERA) gave up five runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings, but he still got the win. Goldeyes starter Ryan Sasaki (2-4, 5.36 ERA) lasted only 3 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on three hits with four walks and he took the loss. The Goldeyes pounded out 13 hits and Mike Coles had three of them. Alen, Haerther and Sadler each had two hits. The Goldeyes and RailCats play Game 2 of this four-game set on Sunday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. Matt Rusch (4-3, 4.52 ERA) will get the start for Winnipeg, while Alain Quijano (7-2, 3.78 ERA) will take to the bump for Gary.
